I believe it is the 34mm! I was referring to the price book that's available online and it looks like my price was under the 34mm.

Love that watch, I have the EXACTLY same one!!! Personally, I think the roman numerical is much more pretty than diamonds :)

For a first Rolex, you picked an everlasting classic that will always be in style, congrats!

Thank you! I was really considering the $4800 ones because of the price but it wasn't my style and I wanted something more classic. I believe the $4800 was all steel so it looked a bit too sporty for a Rolex.

The date just models only comes in 26, 31 and 36mm (there is also a date just II which is 41mm). Rolexes in the 34mm size are the air-king models and the Perpetual models. They look a lot like the datejust, but none of them have a date. Your watch is thus either 31 or 36 mm, and from the picture, I am very sure your watch is model number 116234, which is 36mm (like my own).

Thanks for the info! I checked the model number in the price book and that is correct. Guess I was looking in the wrong place :)

A Rolex watch is not an investment. It's a luxury watch. Once you take it out of the store, just like a car, it's already depreciated by 15-20%. This is the reason why many prefer to buy a pre-loved watch.

My biggest investment yet. No more bags and shoes for me... :push:

Experts/Rolex owners: is this a good first one?

Couldn't afford the ones with some bling and I wanted to purchase one that made me feel :loveeyes::love::hbeat: so I went with this!

Congrats on your first Rolex! Pretty and classic! Enjoy it with good health! BTW, I believe we have same 36mm size. Although I have small wrist I still prefer big size watches which are more funky looking.:D

I can't speak for the OP, but when I call a fashion item an "investment" I mean I paid a lot for it because I plan to have and use it for years to come, so I "invested" in it. Not that I bought it planning to sell it for what I paid or more. Kind of like you invest in a relationship, meaning you care and commit to it.

Thank you. That's exactly what I meant. I know I wouldn't get more or full price when I do sell it in the future.
