Hi everyone! I was hoping to get your opinions regarding a new Rolex watch. This will be my first high end watch and after looking at multiple different watches, I've narrowed it down to a Rolex datejust. Now I'm just trying to pick the details. I'm deciding between the 31mm and 36mm sizes and two tone with rose gold vs yellow gold. Deciding between diamond markers or roman numeral markers. I definitely want a MOP dial, domed bezel, and jubilee bracelet.
For a little background on myself, I just turned 30. I don't wear a lot of jewelry but always wear my VCA alhambra bracelet (in the pictures) and sometimes my Cartier love bangle (was on my left wrist when I tried on the watches), occasionally some diamond studs or simple earrings. I'm ok with switching my VCA bracelet to the other wrist if it clashes with the watch. I usually dress pretty casually except for work, which is business casual. I work in a pretty conservative environment so don't want to be too flashy. I definitely want this to be my everyday watch and am planning on getting another watch as a dressy watch in the future.
I've included some pictures of the watches I tried on in store. They didn't have the exact combination I wanted but at least got some idea. I'm sorry for the huge picture sizes! Don't know how to size them down. Please let me know your opinions about which size is better (31mm vs 36mm), which color choice (rose vs yellow gold), and what markers (diamond vs roman numerals). Any other opinions/suggestions/advice recommended as well. Thanks so much! And sorry for the long post!
1. Datejust - 36mm, stainless steel with yellow gold, MOP dial with diamond markers
2. Datejust - 31mm, stainless steel with rose gold, MOP dial with roman numeral markers (this one has the diamond VI but I don't love it, would do diamond or roman numeral only markers)
