Newbie to Rolex

I never thought that I would actually own a Rolex. My dad has a 1980's DJ and I always thought that it is a little old fashion for me (my apology to all those die-hard DJ owners).

However, a few years back I started noticing Rolex's sport range where one of my uncle is wearing an Exp II 16570 and it sparked my interest but yet I still do not pull the trigger as I felt the 40mm case is still small for my liking as I am used to larger cases of Panerai and IWC.

The introduction of the 42mm Exp II 216570 is finally move me to the tipping point. After much deliberation (exactly 1 year), I just could not resist anymore and pulled the trigger. Introducing my 1 week old Exp II 216570 Polar. Couldn't be happier. It has been monopolizing my wrist time since.

Wow ! great pics. Love both the black and the white dial for different reasons. White really pops and the black tones down the size of it perfectly. Both are winners. Congrats on the watch - beautiful piece.
