Ladies Rolex - buying tips?
Discussion
Mrs 595H has a significant birthday this year, and has said she really wants a Rolex, to go with her Omega she’s had a for a few years. I can’t really say no, as I’m about to buy a new toy for me!
So... a few questions if I may.
Do ladies Rolex hold their value?
Where is the best place to buy? I’m really talking about whether there are discounts to be had!
Any particular model to avoid?
Second hand - good idea or not?

They don't hold their value in the same way that certain gents models do (though they'd still hold a greater percentage than most other brands) which makes going pre-owned better value, just make sure that you source from a reputable dealer. Someone like Dom H of Hackett Watches https://www.hackettwatches.com/ would be a good place to start. Where is the best place to buy? I’m really talking about whether there are discounts to be had!

As to what to avoid, the overly blinged diamond encrusted precious metal models tend to loose the most £ however if she likes a particular model and it's going to be a keeper then that's kind of irrelevant.
I guess the answer to the first question is... who cares its a present and she wants one
Also, the answer to question four should refer to the start of the answer to question one..... would you want a second hand present
You either buy her what she wants or you don't everything else is irrelevant. If you don't buy it then you deal with the consequences

Thanks - that was the conclusion I was coming to as well! I was just a bit intrigued as I don't really remember seeing much about ladies' Rolex values - all the chatter is about gents versions.Also, the answer to question four should refer to the start of the answer to question one..... would you want a second hand present

I've got about 3 months to source one, so hopefully there is stock of the one she wants somewhere in the UK.

Don't think it will be a problem! I've got about 3 months to source one, so hopefully there is stock of the one she wants somewhere in the UK.

Looks like she wants a 34mm Oyster Perpetual with a white face, and wants a new one. I guess the only question now is whether there is a chance of a discount anywhere. Not due to fly anywhere soon, so needs to be a UK outlet...
Not sure about a discount but you could certainly get one of those on 0% interest over 2 or 3 years from Watches of Switzerland.

Is 34mm the right size? Its a surprise so I can't ask her. I feel that it is the right size. She has worn my watches in the past and liked them, so thought 34 would be a good size to get. More modern than the small sizes.
I would be careful. It’s not a particularly feminine looking watch IMO and once it gets that size it may look too big (unless you wife is a big unit ) it’s all about the wrist size of the wearer really but I think most women would go under 30mm Gassing Station | Watches | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
