Rolex: Fancy or Sporty?

[frannita]

Bags: it is just the ladies size! Oh how I would love my watch even more if it were a midsize! LOL! Are you leaning more towards the midsize? I am almost positive you could get this combo in the midsize, if it's not in store the dealer could certainly order it for you

If you don't mind wearing pre-owned ones, I do suggest you check if your jeweler carries them cause the oyster bracelets are different now (if you prefer this older one), and you could definitely save a couple thousand bucks over a brand new one!

This is the current gents oyster bracelet, ladies would look just like this but smaller. The center links are now polished/shiny:

Good luck with your search!

I didn't know they changed the Oyster band! I only buy pre-owned , often older watches, so hadn't seen this.

I honestly don't like the look.

Here's mine, it's a pink/rose mother of pearl dial, arabic markers, fluted bezel, oyster bracelet. The mop dial changes color depending on the light. In the first picture it is more of a cream, in the second it is slightly more pinkish!

ETA: I love the combo of the oyster bracelet with the fluted bezel. It isn't too mature-looking like the jubilee with fluted bezel, but it looks more dressy than the oyster with the smooth bezel.

beautiful watch!

MOP face with fluted bezel looks great!

Both my rolexes are small ladies sizes and very old. Now that my eyes are going I really want a mid-size sporty type because I don't want to be too blingy!

-same here! even my one midsize is a little hard to see! I traded in all my ladies' Rolexes for Men's, I have one or two slightly dressy women's size for when the others are not right for the dress or occasion, but they are black dial with gold or silver hands - those I can see, LOL

You should look at the Men's Air King simple, sleek, sporty, and a little elegant too. Not fussy with details. I had one, it was nice. You can get a dial color that makes it easy to read, I'm sure there are many colors to choose from.

I prefer the fancy one....jubilee bracelet with fluted bezel. You can get the following combinations:

1. Jubilee bracelet with fluted bezel
2. Jubilee bracelet with domed bezel
3. Oyster bracelet with fluted bezel
4. Oyster bracelet with domed bezel

However dial and markers may vary. I prefer the ladies size.

Love the fluted bezel with the oyster band...plus the mop dial...delish!

I'm probably in the minority, but I'm not a huge fan of the fluted bezel. I think the oyster can look very dressy as well. My one and only Rolex so far is this one:
