New to watches

Hi there,

I'm new to the watch world, currently own a little Casio watch but looking to buy a Rolex, I'm a big fan off submariner, GMT, yacht master and Sea-dweller any pointers/picture to help me decide would be much appreciated.

Go to the AD and try some on and don't be pressured to buy on the spot

Can't go wrong with the sub, I like the newer ones with the ceramic bezel and wider lugs (just to name a few differences). Also, if you don't want to spend as much, the Tudor Black Bay is really nice as well (and their new in house movements have a 70 hour power reserve. Once it's on your wrist, you'll know!

Thanks for the warm welcome and suggestions, having read some of the posts on here I'm rather fond of the Batman, who knew choosing a watch could be such a hard decision
