Sub would be ideal for your age and works for most any occasion! 👍

To save some money, go for the No date subc and try to get 5% off.

Again... GMT or sub and it's a simple choice between the two. Pick which color you like better and if you like polished bracelet or not

The YMII is highly specialized in its utility and its busy dial and bright color scheme would not be a very versatile accessory to your wardrobe, especially for business purposes.

You could buy all three and you could have a lot of bases covered.

Adding a DJ would really round things out.
I agree with Grady's assessment here. I would toss out the YMII and go with one of the other three. Any one would be fine first Rolex.

Hard to beat a Submariner for a do-all piece. That being said, it's entirely up to you and I'm sure you will be able to pick the right one when you actually get down to business. Good luck on the hunt!

A sub 16610 would be a good start for you, young man! That's what all newbies get. You can always upgrade to the big guns when you turn 21! If you know what I mean!

At 18 you are still most likely a very active person. I would look to sporty options. Pick the sub or gmt that speaks to you. You can always pick up a dressy watch later.

Which Rolex Should I Buy?

When I was 18, I was wearing a lovely Casio and had my eye on a Timex. Good on you to start young!

I would go with a sub.
