The more I look at this Rolex thread the more confused I get about which Rolex to buy. I'm trying to buy only one a Rolex. But I may need to save up for two Rolexes. Also I'm noticing that most people don't wear their Rolex right on top of their wrist. It's usually on their wrist a little behind the little bone that you can see on people's wrist.

thats true. lol, i thought, i am the only on who noticed this :smile1: maybe it´s only for the pic ?? i think, to evaluate the watch on somebodys wrist, it´s necessary to see both positions. some people have also arms with one caliber from begin of the wrist up to half lenght towards the elbow. others don´t. may i ask you, @blumster, if you can take another pic from your kiddos in a other position ?

I'm going to buy myself a Rolex watch with part of this year's bonus (I know - planning way far in advance - but I have had this in mind for quite a while now.) Anyway I am trying to scope out the options for women. I am thinking of the Lady-Datejust. I need something I can wear on an everyday basis - it doesn't have to be dressy enough to go black tie or anything, but something that looks good with casual or business attire.

So what do you have? Pics welcome :nuts:

My watch , being the 36mm, tends to fall a bit further up on my wrist when my arm is up because I like to wear it a tad loose and more casual. If My arms are down at my waist the watch slides down further on my wrist. I like both looks but it naturally falls a little higher up on me when I'm in motion.....Here's both ways

Yesterday I went by my AD rolex dealer and I was able to pick up a copy of the Rolex Magazine editions #1 and #2. In addition, they were nice enough to give me a current copy of there catalog

I am getting a two tone (yellow gold with white face and diamond markers) for my mom...can't decide 26mm or 31mm. She is in her mid 50s, about 160cm and 55kg. She already has a 33mm Chanel J12.

I personally think the 31mm is more modern and easier to read. My mom is in her 70's and had a 26mm before. Last year, she bought a 31mm. It looks nice, more youthful! If your mom can carry off the Chanel J12, she will look great with a 31mm!

I agree!! I am a big fan of larger watches. I know you still see petite watches on ladies, but a big one also looks so lovely, and it should also be easier to read. This comfortable. So, go for the 31mm, I would say.

Of course, I hope you get what you think is best for her~

I think that I'm going to have to get extra link or two added to the Rolex. I like my watch to be slightly loose but not too loose. And I don't like them to sit right on top of my wrist bone. I have this bump on both my arms
That I don't like to see.I'm a little heavier than I'm normally I'm. But when I lose weight, it usually gets smaller in size.

You can even micro adjust the width of the watch Band via adjusting the buckle.

Regarding the size of the watch I agree that bigger looks more modern. On the other hand: I really associate smaller rolex watches, especially the Very understated versions in bicolor with Very young girls and therefore always think they have a Very youthful feel.

Thank you! I agree with 31mm is much easier to read as she ages so she can have the watch for longer. I do think 26mm is a but out dated and too small. I am going with 31mm. Will post pic after I buy it.
