Help picking rolex
Hi everyone, i'm new to the forum and am actually looking for advice on my first rolex purchase. I'm really indecisive at this point and cannot really decide between these watches. My skin tone is light with blue/green accents and i have fairly small wrists (6 inches) so i did not want to go about a 36mm but the all gold daydate is 41mm so if you think that would look okay on someone with 6 inch wrists then please let me know. I'm also a male in my early 20's. Just looking for opinions on which you think is best. Thanks all!

I'd go for a 36mm DD, but first I'd see a doc about your blue/green skin.

Welcome to the Rolex Forum.
You have to get to the nearest AD and start trying a few on. That's the only way you're going to know. Of the above choices you have there, the blue dial TT is the one that sings to me the most. But to be honest, I'm not fond of the diamonds. Good luck and don't forget to post up some pictures when you've made your choice.

you seem to like diamond dials beware many of the watches you are showing have after-market dials

Get one you can wear all the time. The diamond dials have too much bling for daily wear.

Thanks everyone for their inputs and that joke about the skin made me lol honestly. I have a Seiko that i use for daily wear so this is will be more for special occasions which is why i'm kind of leaning towards the ones with diamonds so it has a little more pop to it.

If you're asking advice, a young 20's guy looks not so good with a diamond or PM rolex. Wait for it, you'll wear it better once you're a little more physically mature. So none of those watches I like for the "you".
If you're looking for pop, try this on for size: *42mm explorer 2, polar white face on Rubber B. **Inexpensive - this watch is the best bang for the buck in the world of sport model Rolex and perhaps one of the most understated in the line up. ***Dual Time Zone + Date complications - better than any dang Milgauss. ****Volcanic Orange Rubber to match the GMT hand - and i have a thin wrist, normally 6x4 oyster links. *****Functional - the all silver bezel and bracelet make this a watch at home in a suit or in jeans & flip flops. |

Take a look at a classic 36mm Day-Date in yellow gold with fluted bezel, white roman dial, and president bracelet. It has plenty of "pop" and I think you will find the yellow gold bracelet offers more than enough "bling" without diamonds.
