Initially I wanted the oyster bracelet but I know the jubilee is a classic. I am 31 btw. I own a small cartier ballon bleu and the smallest size chopard happy sport with blk leather strap. My fashion watch is a rose gold Michelle sports sail with rubber strap and a rose gold Nixon spur. I def want rose gold two tone rolex in either a size 31 or 36. So here's the thing both the dome and fluted bezel does not scream out to me but I really really want a rolex. On here I see a lot of mixes btwn fluted and oyster or domed and jubilee. On the watch forums with watch enthusiast they recommend domed with oyster or fluted with jubilee. I'm afraid if I get one or the other I will regret it later on. Like with chanel. When I bought my first and only flap in my early twenties I detested the caviar as I thought it didn't suit my age and ended up getting a hybrid with a distressed leather on classic chain but with a mm closure. Now tho I love my bag I regret not buying a true classic caviar. I did try on what was in stock at my local store but I'm such an indecisive person. No friends to ask for opinions as they are not into luxury items or cannot afford them and I do not want to rub it in their faces. So I am asking my fellow tpf members for advice! TIA!

It really helped me to try a multitude of styles / sizes on and take photos (wrist shot, arm shot, and full length). It really helped me see what looked best on me despite what I was drawn to in the case. Initially I was sure I wanted 31mm two tone fluted bezel, white mop face and diamond markers, but I ended up with something quite different. Good luck!!

Hey Jinsun! I know what you mean about buying Chanel's (and LV's) at one stage of life and then wishing as I aged I had bought something else. Sigh...expensive mistakes. But maybe you learned because you are doing your homework before this big purchase The black background def sticks out to me with the rose gold markers. :kiss: But .... The mop seems like it pops too and will match a lot more. I really like the jubilee bracelet best too... Maybe do as someone else here suggested and take photos of them on your wrist and see which suit you best. Happy choosing!!

So this is how I laid out the pictures....by bezel then by bracelet. I do like the black dial, fluted bezel and oyster bracelet combo so far. I'm going to go and see what my store has again and try them on. Last time I went I didn't see a black dial and they mostly had TT YG. I will try on sizes and see which size I prefer and see if they can get a color combo I like to try on. Thanks ladies

Hello - a quick question. I plan buying day-date in YG 36 and not certain about the dial color. Is champagne too blingy? I am concerned i might get tired of it quickly and want something permanent for this money. What say you? thanks

To me, the jubilee bracelet looks more feminine. (not sure what fluted means) but I like the last picture the most. The smoothness encompassing the face looks more modern....I wish this was me getting this watch-lol!! Have fun!

I got a silver dial with my yg president. I don't actually like the champagne dial w yg - I think it's a bit too much. The silver still blends but is softer IMO.

fluted bezel is the chiseled/ridged look. I am so stumped. DH likes the oyster and both the domed and fluted bezel. He tells me to go try it on with him but he rarely has time to go to the mall with me. Working 24/7.

Didn't realize the pics were going to be so big. They are the same pics except the last 4 are screen shots of the first 4.

I think it's going to take about 4 mos before I get my watch due to DH being so busy. I'm going to nag him on his only day off to take me to the mall to pick out a rolex.

Guess it depends on your style. I know you like Cartier and VCA too so I assume you would pair with those bracelets. Both are beautiful but if it were me I wouldn't get the fluted but I would get the domed if I had your jewelry collection. Hope this helps.

Thanks cateyes. I'm going to go try some on once my oldest starts preK

Fluted bezel with jubilee bracelet. Go for the classic look, cause you can see fine scratches which eventually turns up on the watch. You will end up with lots of scratches visible on the dome bezel and or with the oyster bracelet. Just my two cents. I would go for dark MOP dial (since you like black dial) and diamond markers. you won't regret on that combination!

Hello,

I'm also debating which watch to get, I'm thinking of the Rolex Perpetual Oyster with the fluted bezel and diamond markers or is there another Rolex that has a similar clean look?

Thanks!
