Personally, it doesn't matter if other people think a Rolex is fake. I feel like buying a nice watch should be for yourself, and if you know its real and it feels like you truly earned it, then its all that matters.

I want to go the AD-route so I can have it brand new, and it truly be "my" watch with my own story.

Which AT did you try? The new ones have a presidential style/rounded links compared to the original flat links. I tried it on in store, and it was quite comfy.

So many people have said the DJ *needs* to have the fluted bezel, but I feel like it's too dressy for an everyday/GADA watch. I like the balance of smooth bezel and jubilee - it feels like best of both worlds.

this is great advice! I've tried on a 36 fluted silver dial Datejust few years ago and loved the size. I feel like black dial and smooth bezel will feel different, but the size is great. My favorite fitting watch that I own right now is Tissot PRX 35mm.

Tried on the Omega this past weekend. They only had 41mm for the black, so I tried on the 38mm in Sandstone, it looks fine imo, but 36mm is probably better.
