Do not buy a real Rolex (unless you buy an antique one, that will be unique and hold its value...)
I'd get a brand new real Skyland (in grey); looks awesome in all three: bracelett, rubber divers strap and leather "pilot" strap... timeless. And, frankly, I feel like Rolex's are a little passe these days... (most people assume you're wearing a fake one, anyway, even if you're not!)
Second choice: you don't like PAMs? Come on... There are tons of models; find one you like. They hold their vaule big time (and some even appreciate); so if you get sick of it, you can sell it easily. Maybe an Automatic, like the 104 or 164... or Power Reserve Auto, like the 090. Those actually look decent on braceletts...
