Submariner, GMT Master II and Explorer II are good starters.
Just to share, my first Rolex is an Explorer II (216570).

In my opinion it will be good to start off with a rolex sport model, cant go wrong with Sub, Explorer, GMT and then add in other model like DJ if you intend to have a rolex collection later. Rolex sport models are easy to flip as the demand is there. However i am not saying DJ is a poor seller, but becuase DJ has got too many variants out there, hence it makes pre-own DJ a little difficult to find a buyer.

But buying in AD, you might need to stretch a little... Cheers
(btw, I also have a tissot t-classic le locle AND a Seiko 5 world time!)

Within the current Sub range, there are SS (with or without date), TT (black or blue dial), and the green Hulk. I hope you at least know what metal/colour you like.
I saw that someone commented in one thread that the Sub is too common, but then Rolex watches as a whole are very common...
While not exactly an authority on Rolexes (or timepieces for that matter), here's a good read:
The Argument Against Rolex
The Argument For Rolex
I'm partial to dress watches (mainly because of my small wrists) but a well rounded collection should be a mix - SS, leather straps, HG, Full gold, dress, sports, etc. The Hulk and the Milgauss are definitely on the watch list (as is the Tudor Pelagos. The Black Bay isn't my cup of tea)!
