Here we go! Partner, I don't think you realize what you've just stepped into. To answer your question, pretty much any of them. Good luck!

Buy what you want to wear and let the investments be investments.... Wear it

Get what you love and will wear often.

Time is your most valuable asset.

Forget Rolex. Smart money is on Omega and Panerai. Can't lose!

logix1229 · 16 May 2023, 04:51 AM

the oyster perpetual is highly coveted. get that one. it's definitely going to the moon!

GONZO2LR · 16 May 2023, 04:55 AM

you sound like a real smart guy...what do you think?

ScottishRolex · 16 May 2023, 04:58 AM

The best investments work better with leverage. Since you can’t buy a Rolex on margin, recommended putting several on a credit card or second mortgage your home- best models are sub 36mm all precious metals.

Cwillis0001 · 16 May 2023, 04:58 AM

Don't worry buddy, not all Rolex people are d*cks.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Do a little research around her first. This topic is highly frowned upon here. We buy watches because we love watches, not as an investment. If you do that, you'll be much happier in the long run.

vipereaper30 · 16 May 2023, 05:10 AM

Good call here especially if you diversify your portfolio with one of every model in the lineup. Think of the sport range like tech and the classics like blue chips. Go with a ratio of 3 steel to 1 gold and you'll have a great asset mix.

Law52 · 16 May 2023, 05:18 AM

A large majority of us don’t look at them as investments, but nice watches that most likely won’t lose value if kept for many years.
I suggest go with the ole iconic workhouse, Submariner Date. Grab the latest model, 126610LN with box and papers to wear plus enjoy. If you decide to sell it in 20 years, no one knows what the market will be, but I’m confident you won’t lose any money, plus you got to wear a cool watch all that time.
Good look with your advantage of finding a Rolex.

WatchTimes · 16 May 2023, 05:19 AM

A watch is not an investment.

Kowaco · 16 May 2023, 05:33 AM

Get a Submariner it checks all the boxes, and worst case it’s good for a flight out of anywhere.

Domino's Pizza stamped Rolex. Seriously.

Wee-Willie · 16 May 2023, 05:37 AM

Not a good start here, my friend. Most people here do not really think watches are investments, me included. Just buy a watch you like & consider any cost as a sunk cost you will never get back. But yes, most Rolex watches retain their value, so you have that going for you.
AND, when you get that Rolex, PLEASE do not ask if you should use any protective films on it.....AND, be sure to keep the box the watch came in & always tell people you have Box & Papers, Bro!!

Vivalas · 16 May 2023, 05:40 AM

Do you know what was always great about Rolex?

You buy one for say £5,000 and wear it everyday for say 5 years. You then sell it worse case scenario for £4,000 and it’s worked out it cost you 50 pence a day for all that enjoyment. Wow that was cheap for 5 years enjoyment of a luxury watch.

As I said that was worse case, because the chances are that you’d have got your money back or maybe even a bit more.

^^^ that was what was so great about Rolex.

Unfortunately for some they started going up in value way too much and all of a sudden all the people that loved Rolex found themselves competing with posters like this that could really care less about the watch and enjoying it, they were looking for an investment.

Rolex isn’t an investment, it’s a watch to be worn and enjoyed. No offence OP, please buy one to enjoy.

Barada7 · 16 May 2023, 05:44 AM

Buddy you’re in luck! I just found a Rolecs in my grandfather’s old shoe box. We’ll both be rich!

Then that would be the DD36 YG. The former has worn the same one for decades if I recall.

Giovannibravo · 16 May 2023, 05:58 AM

Not another thread like this.

TheVision · 16 May 2023, 06:03 AM

It seems more and more people nowdays now get attracted to Rolex, not as a hobby but strictly for "investment" reasons. ....like those Sneaker heads collecting the next big thing only to hold on to the stock and then put it up for sale a year later and double markup.

Another reason why buying Rolex at retail has become a clown's joke now as most people walking in the door is solely doing it for investment (and flipping) reasons.

Rolex was much better 5 years ago when people were buying it for the same reason they'd buy a Omega or a Seiko.
