Coming out from lurking

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking for a while and finally joined last month. A few weeks have gone by, and I decided it was time to post. I'm new to ultimate luxury watches but have been wearing a Raymond Weil for about a dozen years. I never considered getting a Rolex until my boyfriend asked me to start looking at them as an option for a present. Well, the boyfriend is no longer around but I'm now hooked on a Rolex so I'm planning on getting it myself!

I'm pretty set on the Ladies Datejust with the chocolate dial and ss/everose Oyster band (seen in my avatar). It might be the most beautiful watch I've ever seen, and it feels quite nice on my wrist . I'm waiting for the right deal on a used one to come along; until then, I'll keep reading, learning, and obsessing over every little detail of my choice!

Welcome
That is an amazing choice of model.
Good luck on your endeavours.
Remember it is always best to deal with a totally reliable seller with a certified sales history.
Be ultra careful when buying over the internet.

Another new member- welcome
Love my latest everose Rolex date just.
I chose the jubilee band for mine- but such things are a personal choice.
I will only buy from authorised dealers-the extra money is worth the peace of mind- but both times from an AD was given discounts without me asking.

Welcome to TRF!

Well, ex-boyfriend started something nice despite it all...I have seen pre-owned versions of the "178341 chodro" for $10k-ish and like new for $12k-ish so much success on the quest.

You might also do well to PM some of the most trusted TRF sellers who can help seek one.
