Hello From New Jersey

Hello all,

I joined the forum because i am in the market to buy my first "new" Rolex.

I have been into watches for most of my life but never really stepped into the higher end like Rolex until recently.
I currently own a mid 90's DateJust 2Tone with a black face and jubilee band, I have wanted a sub for as long as i can remember and i feel this is the year I will do it!
I'm really torn between the 3 like most people im sure, the hulk, the black or the black no date.

so i joined to read up on other peoples choices and see how things worked out and some ups and down of each as daily drives from other peoples perspectives.

looking forward to getting to know some of you and learning from you all as well.

thanks

Mike

Since you are in NJ, I recommend Lee Perla in Hackensack NJ...ask for Rick- he is an awesome salesman! https://www.leeperla.com/

They are an authorized Rolex/Tudor dealer.

Welcome.
Of the 3 subs you mentioned, I would go with the nodate. There is a good AD in Cranford as well.

Welcome fellow Jersian. I just joined myself and also purchased my first Rolex from a forum member. I have to say, you can't beat the price and value of what you can get here as compared to an established authorized dealer. Good Luck searching
