Opinions on my new Rolex

Thoughts on the 2002 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date I just bought from Yuriy's in Pittsburgh? I paid $2850.00 for it and it is in great condition and perfect working order. It also came with a 2 year warranty. Did I get a good deal? Thoughts on this watch? I am new to the forum and I'm 21 years old. This is my first big Rolex purchase! Thanks!

Sounds like a good deal if it was in good condition, assuming it is authentic.

From your pic I'd say you were taken advantage of.....

Here you go.. You'll have to host the picture yourself and copy the URL of the file (can't do it from Instagram).

If you researched before buying and then made your decision based on same, then congrats and enjoy your watch :)

IMHO, best to ask "Is this a good deal?" BEFORE purchase.

Welcome to the forum. If this is the watch I'd say you did quite well. That's a classic and looks to be in great shape. Wear it in good health.

Looks like a good deal, though I've never researched this model bezel

This.

Not a model you'll see in the wild much. If you value / put a premium on that factoid, it could be worth it to you.

The "sticks" and bezel together really pop! Forget the price...as long as you like it...that's all that matters!

Welcome to TRF btw
