I need some purchasing advice from the Rolex guru's for the Mrs.
Hello all - I'm by no means a Rolex aficionado, so I'm turning to you, dear Rolex Guru's, for a little purchasing advice.
My wife has a mile-marker birthday coming up, and is thinking about purchasing a new watch to help celebrate the occasion. She's already decided on a few other higher-priced items to celebrate, so we're limiting her watch purchase price to somewhere around the $3,000.00-$4,000.00 USD range (more or less). Because of that price limitation, she's expressed an interest in exploring vintage Rolex, as most (if not all) modern Rolex fall outside of that price range.
She's more focused on the fashion aspect of the watch than any technical novelties, so the most important aspect to her ultimately is looks. She's looking for a slightly larger watch case size, as is the current trend for women, which does complicate things a little given the smaller size of the vintage watch world. My guess is she's looking for something around a 40 mm case size, ideally, though there is of course flexibility there. Given the price limit we've set, I expect the only option available will be steel, though she likes the steel and gold look.
I realize this is an incredibly broad question to ask, but what references/years might the Rolex guru's among us suggest would meet her requirements?
Thanks in advance.
