I am looking too buy a Rolex, I know little about them, I think I want a submariner or GMT due to the layout and style. I have seen this and its taken my fancy, I like the green of the Milgauss but not the dressy design. What do you guys think?

Russell, I think you have chosen a classic style, but for your first Rolex I would stick to the more traditional color scheme. JMHO of course. Good luck on the decision.

I agree with Tony. It is a little too trendy for my tastes. Might be out-of-style in a couple of years. For a first Rolex, a more conservative choice my be better.

Russell unless you want a pre-98' Rolex with an aftermarket dial,and bezel like you have pictured, I would suggest looking for a production model imo,if you like the green perhaps a LV like pictured below,or the new green ceramic bezel/green dial LV would be more in line?

Cheers guys, yes I do like that style too. I already have an Oyster which I never wear as it's just too small on the wrist. The LV is really nice, may take a look at those too, I also looked at the ceramic bezel GMTs today, but dont fancy black

Russell If you decide on the watch above I would have the case back removed just to make sure your getting what your paying for. I would do that with any Rolex that is not being sold by a Rolex AD.

+1 on all the points made by the 3T gents above. JMHO also.....for a first Rolly, get a classic one like the workhorse Submariner or the GMT2C. You will never go wrong with any of these. The Milgauss is also a good choice but the smooth and polished bezel might show more swirls and dings versus the diver variants. Enjoy the dlimena

The first watch has been so heavily modified that in my eyes, it looks like a nasty replica. I'd go for the LV
