If you have landed on this page, it is most likely that you are looking for your first ever luxury timepiece and more precisely for it to be a Rolex.
In this article, we will outline the top three affordable watches to purchase. All the information we provide will be clear and to the point, so you are able to make your decision more efficiently.
1. Rolex Datejust
Price Point: in the region of £13,500
The Rolex Datejust is definitely a true classic. As a guide, always try to obtain the 41mm with the Jubilee bracelet. The dial colour for this timepiece does not really matter, but a green dial would be the most preferred.
Case and bracelet options: The model is available in stainless steel and two tone gold (rose/yellow gold). Being the most requested, the ideal option would be the stainless steel. The watch can be configured with the Jubilee or Oyster bracelet, our suggestion would be to purchase the Jubilee variation.
Dial options: The Rolex Datejust comes in different colours and a variety of textures i.e. motif dial.
Why is the Rolex Datejust an affordable option?
Although the Rolex Datejust is more expensive than the Rolex Oyster Perpetual, it is still affordable. This model is higher in demand and popularity. The added date function allows the Rolex Datejust to be above the Oyster Perpetual model.
We have an option for this watch available on our platform.
2. Rolex Oyster Perpetual
Price Point: Below £10,000
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual is a staple model for the Rolex brand. As someone looking to start their collection, this model must be in your top 5 watches.
We will provide a few options which will be ideal to purchase.
As the model ranges in size i.e. 28mm to 41mm, the size does not matter as long as the dial is green. This is due to everyone symbolising the colour “green” to Rolex.
The other colours to consider are blue, yellow and red. Please look to acquiring these timepieces in the 41mm.
Key note: as the Rolex Oyster Perpetual has the iconic Oyster Perpetual case, it sits really well on the Oyster bracelet. The stainless steel material allows the watch to be durable and easy to polish in the case of any accidents.
Why is the Rolex Oyster Perpetual an affordable option?
As the timepiece does not have additional complications i.e. date display, chronograph features, it allows Rolex to price the model at a lower bracket compared to the existing range. But don’t be mistaken this is still a desired timepiece!
3. Rolex Submariner
Price Point: £12,000
The Rolex Submariner is a timeless, durable timepiece. The watch was originally designed for divers, but as the years passed people incorporated the watch for daily use.
The Rolex Submariner black dial with the date function is the option to purchase.
Case and Bracelet: developed around the stainless steel, you have the option of precious metals i.e. gold. The ideal option is to purchase the stainless steel model. The Submariner will only come on the Oyster style bracelet.
Dial Options: Black, blue and green. The most desirable is the black as this is still in production, whereas the green Rolex “Hulk” is discontinued.
Why is it affordable?
The submariner is at a similar price point to the Rolex Datejust. Therefore, the preference is down to the buyer.
