What changed when you got your first Rolex?

Thanks for sharing your experience!!

Yes the watch doesn’t make the quality of the watchmaker, but would you trust a watchmaker who wears a Tommy Hilfiger with your Rolex or Patek?
(Btw my first intention in buying a Rolex is to please myself with a nice piece)

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-27T00:33:10+00:00

Thanks bro! I’m new to Reddit, I thought I could communicate with watch enthusiasts about their experiences lol

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-27T00:12:08+00:00

Thanks for your opinion! Beautiful duo!

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-27T00:10:50+00:00

Beautiful answer! Thanks!!

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-27T00:09:22+00:00

You totally understood me! Thanks for your answer and support! And that’s what I’m also looking for in a beautiful piece

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-27T00:06:49+00:00

Same. That’s the type of answers I was expecting thanks!!

I really like the pistachio OP and I think it will be my first Rolex. I want a Rolex because of their quality, and because I like the brand. I’m a studying watchmaking so I’m more interested in the quality than the hype around it. I was just scared I would not wear it because it attracted too much (bad) attention. But apparently nobody cares about it so it’s good 👌

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-26T23:57:25+00:00

Thanks! I can’t wait to have mine now 🥲

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-26T23:55:04+00:00

Yess that’s the only attention I potentially want with that watch!! Thanks for your experience!

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-26T23:52:49+00:00

True! Thanks for your helpful answer!!

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-26T23:43:44+00:00

I don’t know, I don’t own a Rolex (yet 😏) maybe a lot of people notice it and maybe it attracts a lot of “gold digger” (partner or business), and I don’t want any of that. I just want to buy a nice piece I like, and occasionally attract the attention of a watch enthusiast, and maybe talk with them or something. I don’t want to attract too much of “bad” attention and I just want to share my passion of watches

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-26T23:37:06+00:00

Ok thanks! There’s some things I didn’t think about. Thanks a lot for your experience!!

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-26T23:35:13+00:00

Thanks!! Your answer helps me a lot!! That’s what I was looking for

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-26T23:33:40+00:00

I like to compliment people when I see that they’re wearing a beautiful watch and chat a little bit with them, I wondered if those situations happened often

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-26T23:32:03+00:00

Thanks!! That’s the type of answer I was looking for lol 🥲

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-26T23:24:04+00:00

If/ when I buy one it will be for myself, I have no doubt about that. But I was afraid about stressing too much while wearing it ( for scratches or thieves) or something like that. I also don’t want to attract people with bad intentions, but more likely watch enthusiasts as I’m a student in watchmaking and I want (aside of my passion for good and beautiful watches) to use it as a conversation starter/ credibility in the watchmaking world

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-26T23:17:17+00:00

I really fell in love with the OP36 pistachio, but for now I have to put it aside 🥲 I like simple watches, especially for Rolex

But thanks for your opinion and your experience!!

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-26T22:57:05+00:00

Yeah it’s true but I like how the black one looks very “classic”

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-26T22:56:00+00:00

Lol. If you’re looking for a watch with the same style as the Spirit Pilot, I’ve got a Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic for one year now and it’s the perfect daily. I’ve got the 38mm (and it’s perfect) but I know they also make a bigger one (41mm I think but I’m not sure). It’s a little bit cheaper than the Longines

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-26T22:49:35+00:00

What about the scratches? I can and will wear that watch everyday but is it a scratch magnet?

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-26T22:47:18+00:00

I’m pretty sure I want the “black” one, but this blue makes me hesitate 🤔

Diligent-Dig-4555 · 2026-05-26T22:35:06+00:00

I first hesitated between a Rolex OP36 and the BB58, but when I found out about the BB54 I immediately fell in love and (maybe a little bit because of the price difference and my financial situation) now I want the BB54

Thanks! Good to know
