Rolex Aubergine or Pink w/ Diamond Dials

I am purchasing my first Rolex and watch. I want something timeless, classic, and unique. If it helps, I’m a 31 year old female.

Initially, I looked at the aubergine and passed on it but when I took a second look at it the way it changed in the light really caught my eye—I would be getting the ss jubilee bracelet rather than the two tone. In the alternative looking at the pink DJ but rather than the one pictured looking at the one with diamond dials.

If you have the aubergine are you able to easily style it over the summer? I am a female.

Which one looks better? Thanks!

Definitely prefer the Aubergine over the pink, but did not understand your bracelet choice. Oyster and Jubilee are two different bracelets. Jubilee is the fancier 5 piece link, and oyster is the 3 piece link shown in your pic, as a TT. I do prefer the Romans, or sticks, rather than diamonds , for the hour markers.

It looks good! My wife has many different colors, the first one she got was a TT DJ 26 rose gold with a meteorite dial. She doesn’t match watches with outfits really, she’ll have one out and say “does it go” and I always say it goes with everything.

That is stunning, and a great choice. I hope you can get one, from an AD. Prices on the secondary market are insane. Good luck. You could definitely wear that with anything. I used to wear a red grape dial Oyster Perpetual, all the time. Now I can’t seem to pry my new Wimbledon dial TT Datejust off my wrist, despite having other Rolexes from which to choose. Good choice on the Oyster bracelet. I chose the same, for mine. Happy hunting….

My wife turned down the aubergine and waited until we could source a chocolate dial on a jubilee.

I think she made the right choice, as the chocolate dial is stunning!

Defiantly steer clear of the pink too.

Definitely Aubergine over Pink. I really like that dial. I'd go Jubilee bracelet though.
