Thinking of getting a Rolex Datejust with a black/blue face and diamond dial. New is ~12k and pre-owned ~5.5k. Thoughts? First watch so wondering if the extra 6k is worth it for piece of mind

More details needed: what model reference? Are we talkin’ 36 or 41? What attracts you about the diamonds?

The DJ diamonds with the settings don’t personally do it for me, but the “baguettes” on a 40mm are a different story. I personally wouldn’t buy new if I knew I was gonna take a 50% blast to the chin. Since it’s your first luxury watch though, I’d either think real hard about the diamonds to decide you love them or I’d and reconsider (especially if you’ve never seen it in person). If you must have diamonds, I’d try to negotiate with an out-of-state AD for some sort of discount and avoid sales tax.

I think the watch you posted below (preferably with a jubilee bracelet instead) exudes class and you wouldn’t need diamonds to show this. A fluted bezel two tone DJ is going to be noticed. Diamonds just don’t really do it for me for men’s watches.

If you’re going fluted bezel I would definitely do a jubilee bracelet

Qq: this says steel and gold. Is the only gold part the bezel or is the bracelet also gold? I’m assuming it’s not, and that the whole bracelet is stainless steel, but the pricing being almost the same as the TT sub throws me off.
