Second hand or new Rolex?

[dickson]

I would like to buy a Rolex for my wife's 30th birthday. I do not have thousands to spend but could afford either the lowest priced one or a second hand one. I do like the simple style of the older ones. Has anyone on here bought a second hand one or should I reduce the housekeeping and put us on a diet of beans on toast and get a new one?
