Got my first and only Rolex from my mom last year for my 21st birthday!! How nice of her ;) we bought it in Japan and I remember it was something around 9000 in dollars. Love it but feeling a bit age inappropriate to wear ti school as it was so much more expensive than the bvlgari watch I used to wear everyday.. Guess I will save it until I'm order ;) ImageUploadedByPurseForum1369716475.942706.jpg

Gorgeous! I am planning on getting a two tone datejust with jubilee band like yours and don't think it is age inappropriate. The jubilee dial adds a youthful and playful look to it!
 
I like the Sertie but not the other 2, I don't like it that they come up with bracelets that are different from the classics, variations of them ok but not totally different ones.. But that's just my opinion..
That's interesting because I thought these bracelets had been around for quite a long time in white and yellow gold.Can't remember whether it is called the Oyster II or the Pearlmaster .
I think there are a lot of these around second hand.:D

I think you are right, i am not an expert but since they were discontinued/not as common, they don't look Rolex for me.. Again that's just me!

Here's my Rolex! I inherited it from my Grandma for my 16th birthday (I've had it for about a year now!). I know that's a bit young, but I take extremely good care of it!

It's from 1985! I honestly cannot believe how good it looks for being over 25 years old. Gotta love the quality! It's a Ladies Oyster Perpetual Datejust in 41 mm. My favorite thing about it is the black face, and the two tone hardware!
 
So excited!! Just picked out a gorgeous Air King with blue dial as a belated b'day gift from the hubs. Love it!! Will have to post pix soon...

It's funny because I'd originally thought I'd get a Cartier tank or a 31mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual with either silver or black dial but tried the slate blue and it just popped. Took me a while to make the final decision, but it's just so classic yet strong-looking. It was funny--I was wearing a black tee at the store but also brought a silk 'worky' shirt just to make sure it looked as good dressed up as dressed down... it does! :smile1:

By the way, I totally recommend trying a watch in a full-length mirror. I'd thought the 34mm would be too big, and looking down at my wrist the 31mm seemed to make more sense BUT when looking at the big picture (I'm 5'10") I realized the 34mm just "fit" me better and the 31mm seemed skimpy.
