Hello From Houston
Hey guys, I have been a big fan of the forum but for whatever reason never signed up or registered. I wouldn't mind your thoughts on what my first Rolex should be. I have to be mindful of my budget. I am really liking the Datejust but wish the 36mm was slightly bigger (I have a 7.5'' wrist). I like the Explorer II as well as the Explorer I. What would be the best Rolex to get that won't hurt the bank account as much.
Currently I have an Omega Planet Ocean XL that I love, but would like to know your thoughts on a first Rolex. Thank you! |

Welcome aboard.
If you want a larger DJ, check out the DJ2. Now that they've been replaced by the DJ 41, you can also get a pretty good deal. |

Welcome. One of the best values in the pre-owned Rolex market right now is a Explorer II. I own the Polar and the 42 mm is very wearable. You also don't see them everywhere.
