The Rolex that make me break my rules...

Hi guys, I wanna share my story with your guys. From the start when I bought my first Rolex I promised myself to always be a one watch guy, what the heck Im gonna do with 2?

After going big with a 40mm watch I could not wear a 36mm anymore which is another rule I made for myself, never wear anything smaller than 40mm.

I sended back this watch because of the size rule, but ever since the day I sended it back and the seller put it back on the website I cant help myself but looking at it, atleast 1 time a day.

So yesterday I just finished off a flipping deal with the help of the seller that have the watch that I been looking at everyday, I traded my Yachtmaster for a Submariner. While at it, I did the so call kill 2 birds with one stone tactic and bought back this beauty:



Look at that face, dont it make you smile? what is so special about it for me is that it have the day in Swedish. Unlike my other Rolexes, DateJust, GMT, Yachtmaster and even my incoming Submariner I know if that DayDate get sold I will probaly never find another one like that, heck I could not even google up one single DayDate with Swedish day anywhere.

So there you have it, the Rolex that made me break my rules, I will be damn sure to wear 2 Rolex from now on.

Actually, you should be able to get a Swedish day wheel from your RSC anytime you want.

It looks great, and the size fits you.

Also you got too much rules...You need to look at sons of anarchy more, be an outlaw man...

Very nice watch and love the Swedish but sorry to hear you sold your Yachtmaster in favour of a Sub - both great watches but the YM is more classy (in my opinion).
