I wouldn't pay full price for one... let someone else take the kit
nawfoo wrotePeople with bmws may have more then one hobby or collection interest so when I noticed the watches thread I figured I’d give it a shot since if they already have good taste in cars I’d figure a good taste in watches and style as well.Not sure why you're looking for a rolex on a BMW forum. Go to a authorized dealer
You will have a difficult time getting any sport or diver stainless steel models from authorized dealers at the moment. Best bet is gray market. Look at spending 2-5k over MSRP depending on certain models.
Good luck!

NY535i wroteBudget would be good to know. Saying “looking to buy a Rolex” is like walking into BMW Dealership and saying “looking to buy a BMW”.Hello everyone

Most SS Rolex models are commanding very high prices, almost obscene. AD’s not likely to sell you popular sport models unless you have buying history with them. Buying used is an option, just buy from reputable sellers. Best thing to do is go to your local AD, see what they have and try on some pieces.
Good luck with your search.
Getting a watch case that is sized to your wrist / (particularly) bracelet as a strap is cheaper to change out and more flexible - that fits and is comfortable.
One of the great things about Rolex are their great bracelets. Their Jubilee style is very comfortable
And style of clasp. A tang style to me is way more comfy to wear all day than an deployant.
Also but less invasive is the style of crown . Some chronographs with screw down pushers get in the way.
Anyway try on some different models and sizes.
Skoidat69 wroteThis is terrible counsel, lol. Not sure what "hit" you're referring to. You'll be hard pressed to find a SS Rolex at an AD and if you do you'll pay over MSRP.Checkout watchrecon.com

Now if you are looking for a date just, or a two tone model, such as a two tone Sub, you will probably be able to do better.
Best of luck!!
And always buy from an Authorized Dealer (AD) at msrp.

Use the Rolex forum and glance through the pics at the Rolex thread in our community

I got deepsea from AD in south Africa, 2K less than market value in USA, I was lucky though due to currency change
Make sure that you buy for the right reason - that you love the watch. Not that you think someone will love it.

NY535i wroteSeems like you're pretty fresh to the hobby. A lot of great input in the thread so far, I would reccomend finding your local Rolex dealer and maybe some reputable used Rolex stores near you. Get your hands on to some watches, get some wrist time, talk to the people at the stores. Learn and see what you like.Hello everyone

I can help you narrow down what model would be the best fit for you, if you would like. Someone's first Rolex is a big milestone! Let me know what your budget is, if it's going to be an everyday watch that you never take off, would prefer it for dress circumstances, which models have caught your eye already, etc. I will warn you, you will likely have to buy used with the majority of models. Many are quite literally impossible to be had new. The waiting list for a new, steel submariner is literally years long virtually internationally - for example. Luckily, there are many fantastic models to choose from!
IMHO, they do tend to hold their value more that other pieces of jewelry that tell time.
