Poll: Help me decide - Which Rolex?

None of them tbh, if i was you id probably go for an Omega or Breitling tbh...those 3 watches are fugly as hell and i wouldnt be caught dead with one tbh. Only Rolex worth getting is the Daytona, thats if you can find one and also afford one.

But seriously id go for an Omega over those 3 Rolexs...they look absolutely vile.

Submariner, definitely...

In fact, I'm tempted myself.

Azza · 13 Sep 2007 at 15:17

Submariner.

meghatronic · 13 Sep 2007 at 15:19

Have you found a good deal for each?

the first tbh, the others i dont like at all.

Of those 3, the Submariner is the only one I'd even consider. But even that looks ott. I really don't like metal straps.

first one, but imo rolex are proper newly rich items.

thats not a good pic of the TT sub

That makes it look worse.

Too much bling, as long as you have an escalade to go with it, you'll be fine.

First one. The other two look trashy.

I voted for the Master 2 as it was the only one that really caught my eye.. But must say after looking at Rolex's online and in shops, i would quite fancy one of the following (ps. i have no knowledge of watches and movements so haven't got a clue how good they are!)

Oyster Perpetual Datejust - Steel Dial /Rose Gold Bezel
Vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual - Off white dial
Yacht Master (Large Size) - Silver Dial/Platinum Bezel

If money was no object though i saw a watch about a couple of years ago i liked, was an IWC Big Pilots Watch.

Felix Da Housecat · 13 Sep 2007 at 17:32

Submariner without a doubt.

Jez · 13 Sep 2007 at 17:32

Gold on watches looks shockingly bad. Soo tacky :/ First watch looks nice, but doesnt stand out at all.

JoDaMa · 13 Sep 2007 at 17:42

I would go for the submariner, it looks much smarter than the other two in my opinion. The gold and blue make the submariner TT look strangely tacky, and i really don't like the big numbers around the GMT Master dial. How much do these cost by the way? Being Rolex i'm imagining they would be incredibly expensive.

sanaxe1 · 13 Sep 2007 at 17:55

I have the submariner and its a nice watch while the same can not be said for the other 2

not too bad tbh

the SS sub is about £2950 ( 1 year wait at most dealers )

the TT sub £4250 ( likely big rise coming as the GMT has just has one and they were alays similar priced - 6 month wait )

GMT2 about £4950

these are off the top of my head so may not be dead on

slinxy · 13 Sep 2007 at 18:21

Submariner - it looks the best in IMHO and then again it looks like an omega seamaster that my brother has...

lordrobs · 13 Sep 2007 at 19:00

First one is quite nice, other two really don't do it for me. Too in your face.

weringo · 13 Sep 2007 at 19:07

Defo Submariner, seems by far the most popular as well.

AndyOcUK · 28 Aug 2008 at 20:53

Gibbo - go for the 1st one. You'll look like a sodding gangsta rapper in the others - they ming!

Super Tigers · 28 Aug 2008 at 20:57

The problem with Rolexes is that you are paying for their large advertising costs.

Get yourself a good Officine Panerai, pick a good one and it will hold its value very, very well. ADs are having a hard time shifting the mid-price range watches now, so discounts are now getting better.
