I’m new to Rolex watches. I bought my first last month, a DJ36 with the roulette wheel and railroad track on a black stick dial, SS jubilee with fluted bezel. Gorgeous watch, but I pretty quickly realized it was too small for my fat wrist. I thought the solution was to buy an Oyster Perpetual 39, but after getting one I decided it was just kinda boring. Now I had two and neither was perfect!

Luckily I found TRF and the trusted sellers on here. I was able to swing a deal to swap the two I didn’t like for this beauty (with some coin back to me), which is absolutely perfect. I’m in love!!

So now I’m happy and I’m sure this won’t be my last. But for now I am going to enjoy my new sub. :)

Congratulations! Wear it proudly and in great health


Not to say that your previous watches are boring but like you I definitely can’t wear watches that I personally find bland.

Agreed! I got the OP with the red grape dial. It looked beautiful online but once on my wrist, I found both the dial and the bracelet really boring. It only got worn twice before I knew it needed to find a new home.
