My father who retired a couple years ago is looking to buy his first Rolex. He's never been a luxury-anything type of guy but my family has convinced him that he definitely deserves one and he seems to be convinced. I brought him a catalog from the local AD and luckily enough he likes the simple & classic DJ - 126333 which is available (Yellow Gold 2 tone black dial with diamonds). Thoughts and any recommendations from the more experienced WIS? I know the most important factor to consider is whether the person who will be wearing the watch likes it but I don't want him to purchase a "sucker" model that the ADs want to just get rid of. Thank you!

Welcome, and congratulations to your father!

There are no "sucker" models, imo, and that DJ is a perfect way to celebrate a life of hard work and saving and sacrificing for family. Well done, I'm sure.

Nice one !

I would suggest the Jubilee bracelet on the YG TT DJ41 with black diamond dial .
Jubilee suits the DJ perfect,wears very comfy and does not show scratches (except for on the clasp).

TT DJ is an icon of Rolex design for decades !

Super choice, many congratz!
But IMHO it is NOT "he likes the simple & classic DJ - 126333 which is available (Yellow Gold 2 tone black dial with diamonds)".
TT+ Diamonds is not a "simple" watch.

Yup it’s not a simple watch. Try and get as much discount as you can, and make sure the AD keeps good records. I suggest you get it in your name if it’s the only one your father wants, so that you will have history if you want to buy a difficult reference for yourself in the future.
