So, what’s the deal with the “cheapest Rolex”? Well, the article I was just reading mentioned something about how even the more affordable models do pretty well on the resale market. Which is good news! Makes you feel a little less guilty for spending a month’s rent on, you know, a *watch*.
And then there’s the Lady-Datejust. Apparently, it’s one of the “most iconic cheapest Rolex watches.” Hmmm, the wording is a bit weird there, but I think they mean it’s a classic and relatively more affordable than, say, a diamond-encrusted Daytona. I mean, I’m no expert, but that makes sense. It’s probably smaller, simpler, less bling.
Honestly, “cheapest” is relative. We’re talking Rolex here. It’s not like you’re finding these things at a garage sale (unless, like, the garage sale is being run by someone who doesn’t know what they have…in which case, *run*, don’t walk, and buy *everything*).
I think the takeaway is this: if you’re looking for a Rolex that won’t completely bankrupt you, look into the Lady-Datejust (especially if you’re a woman, duh). And remember, even the “cheapest” Rolex is still a Rolex. It’s gonna look good, probably last forever, and you can likely sell it later for a decent chunk of change. It’s like a really shiny, time-telling…piggy bank? Yeah, let’s go with that. A *very* expensive, stylish piggy bank.
