My next watch!

Well guys I sold my Daytona the other day!! I got mixed up with all of the hype and when I got it...... It just wasnt what I expected. Its a beautiful watch but just didnt "smile" back at me.

So anyway I still have my GMT-c (I love it) and would like to have one more to wear as an everyday watch. I have been wearing my GMT but I would like to have a brushed bracelet for everyday wear.

Anyone care to guess what I might have my eye on??

Karis, I would love it but it just feels too small and flat on the wrist compared to my GMT-c!!!

But just going by looks... The white exp II would be my first choice

I think that's a great idea. Would look very unique with the maxi dial and black bezel. Well, unique to those that know what a normal sub looks like.

Okay, I would never have guessed you were going for an LV.

But nice choice!

Well,

1. I love the way a sub sits on my wrist
2. I like the green bezel
3. I really love the maxi-dial
4. Will get the black insert just incase I want to tone it down a bit
5. Triple-lock crown


Another 16710 was an option but I always miss the Triple-lock crown.

What did you do with your SS Daytona? I think the LV is a good option :) The black insert gives u 2 classic watches!

LV is my favorite. No extra bezel, just rock the green

If you wanna go black just put on the GMT IIC

i understand they warranty the watch themselves like allan furman, but later in the watches life are you able to send them to the rsc and have them serviced? is that a problem with watches from these places?

that is something that makes me nervous. i don't care to sell any of my watches so it would be mandatory for these places to prove to me that rolex won't disown a watch i bought from them. i guess if the serial numbers are correct and you send it for service when it is needed they wouldn't care. the warranty part doesn't concern me near as much. the probability of needing warranty work done within the two year time frame is slim but the service will need to be done during the life of ownership. we know it will have to be done and i want them to do it.

I misunderstood your question.... Rolex will service the watch, no problems!!!! Your a paying customer.

As for the warranty work.. Not sure!
