JA,
thanks a lot for your post. i agree that rolex is a very good choice for someone younger as the designs are generally fairly sporty but also can be dressy. of course, the name is great cause it's very recognized (though there are far better makes) and very imitated.
i was thinking that i'd get the JC (first one) for college then sell it and switch for a Yachtmaster or Datejust after college. admittedly the JC is cheaply made and fairly ridiculous, but it might be cool to have at this time (since this is about the only time it'd be wearable).
is this plan reasonable? if i did get it, do you think a diamond bracelet would be serious overkill/retarded or cool?
if not, how about something like the following, or do you think i should wait till i'm far older?
