Help me choose a Rolex!

[shopgirl1010]

Im in my 30s and work at a place where it’s conservative. I want to wear the watch everyday that is also chic.

I can’t decide between 1- steel and white gold in 31 or 2- two tone in 28

The steel looked better in the bigger size.

Thanks!

Do you mainly wear silver jewelry or a combo of gold and silver? Especially in rings. If you wear any gold I would pick the two tone. As a standalone I tend to prefer the silver look.

My wedding ring is Tiffany’s 1.7ct platinum. I don’t own any gold jewelry. I’m looking for something that looks chic and nice for everyday including simple work dresses.

Oh perfect! I have a silver wedding ring too and wear a straight silver watch. I personally think it looks nicer than introducing gold into the mix. The two tone does give you options for gold jewelry down the line though.

Both, if there’s no budget constraint. I like both but mine are 9 years apart, two tone first then the steel. Unfortunately, I’m not a fan of stick markers

Is this your first Rolex? If so, I’d choose steel and white gold. Otherwise, see what complements your collection. Both are chic and suitable for conservative workplace.

Just a mention, the silver dial may get harder to read years down the line if you plan to keep it into the years where one's eyes et worse, like mine, LOL. Had to sell a gold dial President as I couldn't read the time LOL! Silver dial will happen similarly. But looks like you have plenty of time before that happens

Edit - I prefer the TT of these two, if I was to only have one Rolex

Out of these two models, I like the tt better.

The two tone gets my vote.

I also do not like the sticks and have roman numerals. I am a yellow gold/sterling jewelry person so the two tone works for me but get the one that "sings" to you.

My rings are platinum and I chose an all SS Rolex - I thought the two toned look was a bit too fussy for me

I love the two tone but would do romans instead of sticks.

I would go for the two-tone. It can be everyday or dressy, and two-tone is such a classic!

I love both but as someone else mentioned, if there’s any chance you want to wear gold down the line I’d get the two tone. A watch is so substantial that I struggle to wear any gold jewelry with my watches since I don’t have any that have gold in them.

That said, I have a 26mm steel+WG and absolutely love it. I won’t wear rolexes at clients but it’s my favorite watch I own. The look is so understated and classic.

I didn't own any gold jewelry (except for DY two tone bracelets and rings) until very recently. I started with some Cartier trinity pieces and just purchased a gold DBTY necklace. I also bought some Hermes enamels and leather bracelets with gold hardware. The two tone is a safer bet if you think you may want to wear gold later. My e-ring is platinum, but it goes well with the mixed pieces.

My vote is for the SS/WG, as someone mentioned...not as fussy. Not a fan of the stick markers.
Roman numerals or diamond markers?
