Brand new and know nothing about watches-Need suggestions for my husband

[vbblessed]

Welcome.

Just setting some expectations. I have ordered with a TD and it's been a week now and the watch is still in China. Since is holiday season coming up I would strongly advise to place your order ASAP. Although I don't know your husband, the general fair safe watch is a Rolex Submariner. Bear in mind, no Rolex "out of the box" reps accurate enough without modding. There are some watches which we called "super reps" of which they are very close to gen, AP Diver is an excellent example.

Best of luck with your search.

Thank you. I checked puretime.io and looked at the Rolex Submariner. There are so many with different price points. Would you mind going on the site and giving me the names and numbers of the best selling and closes to 1.1 watches so that I can make a decision quickly? I would like to stay under 1k if possible. He likes gold and mixed metals. However, I would also consider stainless steel look as well. Trying to get him new jewelry in sterling to give him some variety. My husband is 68 years old. so he is more on the mature/classy side. Thank you so much!

I would avoid gold/mixed metal subs as the gold plating will eventually wear. You can't go wrong with this:

ROLSUB0236 -Submariner 116610LV 904L SS/SS Green ARF Ult A2824 [ROLSUB0236] - $478.00 : Trusty Time Online Store, Your Trusty Watch Shop

Whatever you decide on, post the QC pictures in the QC section so we can make sure there are no obvious flaws.

That seems to be a very nice watch! Would you say for a first Rolex, green would be appropriate? Or should I go with a more neutral color face like black or silver?

This is one of my favorites but it is all personal preference.

There are many rep factories and many models. I would suggest you spend a few hours reading the forums to gain some knowledge before you purchase.
