Rolex Perpetual

[PeterGadsby]

HI,

Has any got an Oyster Perpetual watch? Thinking of getting one this is the first “high end” watch I am thinking of getting, currently my most expensive watch I have is a Tag Heur F1 watch.

Any guidance very much appreciated.

Thanks

There’s a wide range of ages models sizes and dial colours and styles so best narrow down what you prefer. I’m not a huge fan as I think they are a bit bland but can see the appeal.
Personally I’d avoid the date/cyclops models it really disrupts the look.

I just want the plain one green face, I think 41mm but need to try the smaller ones.

I went to the Rolex shop in Puerto Banus today (we are on holiday) & they said they couldn’t sell me one!!!

Is there typically a waiting list to get one new?

I have a 41mm with the dark blue dial:



I'm very pleased with it.

I’d advise you google the question as there are millions of pages on this issue.

That looks really nice, how long did you have to wait and did you need to do anything special to get on a waiting list if there was one

I just thought it might be useful to get first hand experience of buying one, as I am a newbie with Rolex
