Fresh from the Showcase here at SwissWatchExpo.
And the name of the game today is graduation season.
This is a fantastic time for you to buy a wonderful gift for the new graduate in your
life.
Particularly a luxury watch makes a fantastic gift this time of year, and there's no better
way to start than the most iconic brand in the whole game.
And that's Rolex.
So let's find out what's good about them right now.
Working at SwissWatchExpo last year, this time of year graduation season really highlighted
what a popular gift this is, or this time of year, it maybe it was because of the pandemic.
It seems like everyone's vacation or everyone's new car or something was turning into a luxury
watch because this is something you can use and enjoy regardless.
Things are changing a lot in the year sense, but people are still graduating and this is
still a phenomenal gift at timeless.
One that they're never going to forget.
And the beautiful thing about Rolex is, is that they last lifetimes and they'll even
be able to pass this down to their children or nieces or nephews, or what have you.
So let's go ahead and get into three great Rolex watches for this purpose.
I went simple and stainless steel because one, ideally this is going to be someone's
first Rolex that they would build their collection from, from here.
And two, I was also thinking specifically about like job interviews.
That's definitely a popular thing that should be on the forefront of any graduate's mind.
So I intentionally didn't pick anything very flashy or with any gold or precious metal
on it at all.
So this will make a fantastic gift at a variety of budgets, and it's going to be something
really simple that they'll be able to wear often, and wouldn't really be inappropriate
for a young person.
We'll start with the ladies watch I have here a beautiful and simple, a Datejust 26.
This is with a steel Jubilee bracelet.
So a very classy dressy version of the Datejust, in a very traditional 26 millimeters size,
the dial is white Roman.
I do love the sharpness of the white against the stainless steel and the white Roman dial
is just a really iconic sort of Rolex design.
The white Romans have available in a variety of sizes, a variety of different models.
And it's really one of the more popular dial configurations that Rolex makes.
This is something that'll look great with more elegant form of well wear, dresses down
phenomenally as well.
That's going to go for all of these watches, but this is why this will make a fantastic
start to a Rolex collection, or it could be the one Rolex that someone owns and cherishes
for the rest of their life.
Same goes for the next size up.
We have a 36 millimeter Rolex Datejust, this is the men's size.
Although larger watches are getting a lot more popular with ladies if you weren't aware
now.
So this is definitely a unisex watch for a lot of people.
This is a watch that can and does wear a lot of different hats and it can go in a lot of
different scenarios as well.
The bezel on this, just like the first one is actually an engine turned stainless steel.
Although at first glance it does look a little bit like the fluted white gold that makes
it a very traditional looking Rolex, something that is quintessentially and iconically Rolex,
but again, without the precious metal, without the extra shininess and without the extra
costs that comes with that too, we also do have the Jubilee bracelet, but this one is
available on the oyster as well.
The beautiful thing about the Datejust is, I'm only picking three different examples
to kind of just show you the basic sizes and the broad strokes of what you can do,
But you can really, really do a deep dive and get a ton of different models and varieties
and colors.
The Datejust really does have it all.
And that's why it's probably one of the most popular Rolex watches, probably the most popular
if you look at the numbers, but that's simply because of all the different things that this
can do and all the different varieties, it's in.
Another great thing about it is that while it is not a dive watch or has been pressure
tested to go any, any significant depth under the water, it is a waterproof watch.
It is a very durable watch.
So you wouldn't have to worry about maybe this, a young graduate in your life, being
a little reckless with their multi-thousand and dollar graduation gift and might possibly
ruin it.
These things are very durable.
It's got a hard Sapphire crystal, which I would recommend on any modern watch that you
get now.
And it's something that while shouldn't be abused can definitely tolerate a good bit
of wear.
And that's part of the reason why these things last so long.
Lastly, I didn't want to limit the people who like larger watches or may have a larger
frame such as myself.
These might be a little disqualifyingly small.
So I did want to include one larger size.
We're not doing the sport watches.
These aren't going to be anyone's Holy grail watches, but this is going to be a great starting
point of a Rolex collection for maybe someone who needs a bit of a larger case.
This is a 39 millimeter Oyster Perpetual - very similar to the date, just except the main
differences.
There is no date, uh, but this is a very simple plain design.
This comes with the Oyster bracelet.
And again, all brushed.
I intentionally didn't want anything with a polished finish.
Anything that shines.
This is a very traditional, very simple Rolex design that can be worn all the time with
just about everything.
The dial in particular, this has a bit more of a sharp color.
You'll notice the baby blue sort of turquoise accents on this dial does give it a little
more of a modern pop than these other ones do.
But this one is also several years newer than the other ones as well.
And so you could definitely tell that sort of a new, modern color on the dial layout.
It's 39 millimeters, but still very slim, not so slim that it's a dress watch, but definitely
thick enough that it can be worn, you know, with short sleeves or something like that.
It's not going to look like a sport watch, but it does have that sport watch size.
So it is a great, great option for someone who is looking for a larger Rolex watch, but
possibly looking to stay under the sport model budget, maybe a little underneath the Submariner.
This is a great option, especially if you're looking for a taller graduate, someone who's
not going to be happy with a smaller watch.
We still have a Rolex watch that is going to fit a variety of budgets for that new graduate.
So this has sort of been like an Oh, the places you will go, but with luxury watches, I think
Rolex is a great brand to get someone started on their luxury watch journey and who knows
where it's going to take them from there, but that's the beautiful part.
And one of the things that makes this one of the best gifts you can give that graduate
in your life.
So whether or not they're a watch man, this is a fantastic thing you can consider.
