Hello all!
I come with a question. I am in the market to get a preowned Rolex. I have about 6 grand to spend. I know not a lot but I think enough to get something that will suffice. I have a 7 5/8 in wrist. I think a Datejust may be too small but am open for opinions. What do you guys think or where can you guide me? Thanks in advance!

You can get a DJ41

Or save a little more for a explorer 1 or explorer 2

T.Stanley · 9 November 2019, 04:08 PM

Oyster Perpetual 114300

JayHantz · 9 November 2019, 06:24 PM

I would say a DJ41 would be a perfect one and done. And the preowned market is right in your ballpark.

Congrats!

Datejust II 116334, perhaps? Forgotten model, nice value in the pre-owned market, and could have the sportiness and size you want.

Explorer...

You have more options than you think with $6k !

7.625” wrist = 40mm plus watch, $6k puts you in DJ41 territory. Beware, many will try to steer you to a 36mm !

Use chrono24 as a price guideline, then search the marketplace here on TRF, buy from one of the trusted sellers, post photos when it arrives !

I would visit a few ADs and grey dealers and just try whatever they have in. You’re not obliged to make a purchase but it might help you to discover which models are of interest to you.

Agree with above!

abyk · 9 November 2019, 11:14 PM

OP39 would be perfect for an everyday watch. The white dial version is beautiful

Bizcut1 · 10 November 2019, 12:58 AM

DJ41 - perfect watch.

Nikrnic · 10 November 2019, 01:16 AM

Of course the DJ41 is the perfect choice for many, (me included) considering your budget and wrist size the DJII may be the perfect choice for you.

siempreko · 10 November 2019, 01:43 AM

The 5 digit YM fits in your budget.

Beautiful watch, very comfortable

MasonDixon · 10 November 2019, 02:22 AM

I think a Datejust 41 would look great on your 7 5/8 wrist. That said, if you wait until you can add a little more to the budget, it would open up more possibilities.

mcook7373 · 10 November 2019, 05:17 AM

Thanks for all the opinions. I didn’t think I’d get so many responses. I’ll let you know what I decide and post pictures when it arrives! Much appreciated!

This. 5 digit YM is such a beautiful watch which can be had for a bargain price in after sales market.

Max7857 · 10 November 2019, 01:32 PM

I think the current Air King 116900 is a great looking watch and can be had new with a short wait from an AD for $6200.
