I have to say, that is a really beautiful Rolex. I have never personally been interested in getting one with jewels on it, but looking at yours, it's gorgeous! So clean, and yet with that little bit of sparkle, it seems like it would give a delightful piece of joy each time you check the time! :D
Hope you really do enjoy it, or if not, find something you love!

Wearing my bf's submariner while he is on holiday :)

Sorry to grab such an old post, but I just discovered this thread (still new to TPF really^^) and had to do a search for fellow Submariner fiends!

The anniversary green is so lovely! Hooray! (did he get it back? :graucho:)

I'll have to post a pic of my Sub later on (when the lighting is better). Hope you enjoyed it, and steal it again soon! How cool that you can wear it without adjusting the band! (it doesn't look loose on you)

>> got into some good lighting and wanted to add a photo of my Submariner. Yahoo ^^ :yahoo:

I prefer stainless steel or white gold. But within my budget I don't think I can get a rolex in white gold.

I'd go for a stainless steel Oyster Perpetual. Having my watch for a while (the Submariner Date), I realise I am beginning to prefer the look of a no-date watch. I admit I do refer to the date on my watch (i.e. I "use" that function), but I think that, if I were to go on aesthetics alone, the no-date watch just looks so clean & beautiful (to me). :loveeyes:

How about this: http://www.rolex.com/watches/oyster-perpetual/m176200-0008.html

The Oyster Perpetual comes with so many dials, you can choose one that appeals to your personal tastes, too: http://www.rolex.com/watches/oyster-perpetual/m176200-0008.html
I like the steel with a dark blue dial, or maybe the steel & white gold (with a pale pink dial)

Thanks, gertuine for your help on it. I agreed with you that no-date watch looks beautiful and clean. since I already have one without date, this one I prefer with the date and I do use that function, too. Yes. the oyster perpetual is actually under my considerations. what do you think about this one, 116234, SS & 18K white gold fluted bezel, black/bule/silver dial? I don't care about the diamond markers. originally I leaned to black dial but as of now, I am not so sure...I might have changed my mind to silver dial.

Ah, I see what you mean. Yes, I think it's a good idea to go for a date watch. I would like to get the no-date Submariner so I can switch between date & no-date whenever I want. :smile1:

As for the watch you mentioned, I think it is gorgeous in a black dial! :loveeyes: I originally thought about getting that one, but decided I really enjoyed the Submariner (and the useful bezel) more.

The 116234 is also pretty in a silver dial. I think my advice would be: "Which colour dial do you have now?" I have a black dial (as you maybe saw in my photo above), and so if I had an Oyster Perpetual in just a black dial already, I might get a silver to change things up. Of course, for me, if I get a no-date Submariner, it will have a black dial, too, and I don't mind. I really love the black dial personally; so understated and smooth & also easy to read!!

Hope you can find the watch that you will love! :tup:

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread (and other Rolex-related threads)... this happened way sooner than I ever dreamed, but I recently got my first Rolex! :love:

I tried on a whole slew of Rolexes, and ended up with the SS ladies datejust jubilee, white face w/ roman numerals. I actually surprised myself - I thought I would end up with a midsize datejust oyster (w/ the new smooth bezel), but the jubilee felt right, even with the fluted bezel. I've seen the fluted bezel before on others IRL and I never really liked it, until I saw it on my own arm! Maybe the ones I had seen before weren't real Rolexes! But the fluted bezel is much more delicate and feminine than I remember. Also, I *almost* got one w/ a champagne dial with diamond markers, but both my DH and brother thought it was too flashy for me, and I figured I could always upgrade later by replacing the dial (and DH agrees - maybe for a special anniversary or event?). The ladies size felt right, too.

I'm in love! :heart: And to boot, I bought it from an authorized dealer during my latest visit to Hong Kong, so no tax and 10% off retail!
