I am in search of my first Rolex (Man's) and seeking advice. Where can I find a reliable pre-owned dealer and is there a certain Rolex (date and model that you would recommend. Many thanks.

You'll find it here in the sales section.

Welcome....look on the for sale section of this forum, one of the safest places to buy pre-loved or BNIB (brand new in box)...or anywhere in between..

There are many different models of Rolex watches, some are accepted as Icons......maybe they all should be really......they are all very special.....take a few days looking around this forum and you will develop a feel for what you like....then pay a visit to an AD (authorised dealer) and try a few on.....it shouldn't take you long to realise you want more than one if you are anything like the rest of us.....

It is a very addictive thing to do, buy a Rolex watch....be careful out there....lol

Check out the For Sale section on TRF and then go to the Who's Who section of TRF to check out the seller's references before buying. You want to buy the seller and not the watch to ensure a safe and smooth transaction.

Stick with the Sales forums here as opposed to some others mentioned. Sellers here cannot be beat IMO.

Always good deals on the forum; however if you tell us your location someone might know of a dealer close to you.
