The advice I give most often
By Julien Moreau, Geneva ยท
...and so I told him to buy the Oyster Perpetual, which is the advice I give more often than any other, and the one most often ignored.
The Oyster case dates back to 1926 and this is its plainest modern form: 41 mm of steel, 11.7 mm thick, a green dial with no date, the 3230 with 70 hours, 100 m, a closed back and the Oyster bracelet. Sixty-five to sixty-nine hundred dollars, if you can find one. The green is brighter than I would choose, and 21 mm lugs restrict your straps. But for a first Rolex, or an only Rolex, I have nothing better to suggest.
