Hi ladies,

I'm trying to decide on my first Rolex - it will be my first watch and probably my only watch for a while (I'm not really a watch person but I am getting it as a graduation present). I would like to wear it daily to work and on weekends.

These are the two I've tried on ladies 26mm Datejust 179174 jubilee bracelet both with 10 diamonds one is mother of pearl and the other is just black:

This is the other one I am considering still a 26mm Datejust 179174 jubilee bracelet but black dial with roman numerals instead of the diamond markers (could only find a white face with oyster bracelet on the website):

What do you all think? Would love to hear everyone's opinion! :smile1:

I think because of your light darker skin the black one is the best chioce for you. why without the diamond markers ? they are lookin´ great with the black dial ....

I like the white mop with diamond markers. I think Rolex does mop well. I have a 26 with diamond markers but a steel gray face. I've worn it to work everyday for nearly 10 years. I think you are making a good choice choosing the 26 for everyday. Enjoy.

Thank you for your reassurance that the 26mm is a good size! I plan to wear this everyday for a very long time :p And thank you for letting me know that the MOP wears well - it's so stunning. What do you think of the silver on myself that I posted above compared with the MOP?:D

I like both the silver and mop. Mop may be a bit dressier.

Thank you for your input :smile1: it's such a tough choice to make.

What do you think of the silver on myself? MOP or silver? Both colours are on sale at my local retailer at the moment. Ps I had to try on a vintage silver version as my local store didn't have a new one at the time.

I would go for the silver if it's roman numerals dial. If you are getting the diamonds I would go for MOP! Just my 2 cents ^^

I prefer the MOP over the silver. Have you seen the silver jubilee dial with diamond markers? It is the best of both worlds.

I think the silver dial is harder to read.

I personally love the regular white dial with Romans, in case that's something you want to look at. Very crisp and pretty--but the white MOP of Rolex is just beautiful.

I have the TT 26mm white with Romans and to me it is one of the ultimate classics I love it, especially when I want to be under the radar with an expensive watch.

What silver are you referring to? I was under the impression that the one I tried on was the silver jubilee dial with diamond markers. I know with that there is a rhodium and a silver dial (I tried on silver and not rhodium). Please show me a pic if you can find one :smile1: I'm going to my local store tomorrow to try the silver vs MOP and hopefully finally pick one! Thanks for your help.
