But am considering getting back to Rolex this year - but am thinking about the right starting model? I've dabbled many years with stainless sports models but am considering going full gold or vintage. I'm currently spending a lot of time with AP and Patek but there's something about Rolex that takes me back...
With a Budget around 30k - would love any recommendations! I am considering a Root Beer GMT in full RG but don't know if I can pull it off!

Wow..
I would ideally like to find vintage - but feel a little nervous about jumping in. If you have any great dealers let me know! Many thanks
Ok - didn't know too much about this one..

Nice pieces...
Didn't think about the sub yet so I will check this one up. Many thanks for the ideas!
Any vintage Rolex 1675 in gold will hit the mark perfectly.
You should be able to find a vintage gmt on a Jubilee in your range. ...
Hi there - beautiful original pieces!
Am looking at the modern root beer simply because I don't think I can pull off jubilee - but will be looking around. If you have any vintage dealer recommendations let me know! Thanks!!!
This doesn’t fit your description...
But I think this is a reference that gets lost in the shuffle and just offering this as a relatively inexpensive winner! It has become my favorite watch, and I have some nice ones. Cheers Drew ...
Yachtie is an original!!!
Nice recommendation - had one eons ago and maybe along this itch to get back to Rolex, this piece may return as well. Cheers!

Thanks for the ranking and recommendations...
I feel a bit guilty here as well spending perhaps my children's future funds but I'm sure they will appreciate it in the future (I hope!) I do like some of the suggestions - the biggest issue is that I tend to like to try one on before buying - and it's n...
Interesting...
Tried on a platinum dd with a blue dial but just felt it was too much watch for me! Will keep the green dials in mind. Cheers
That‘s an interesting and very stylish choice.
The best Day Date option in the current lineup for sure!
Very nice! Many thanks for the recommendations...
I'm definitely intrigued by the sky dweller - will be looking at one soon! Cheers
