For those of you that purchased a SubC or Sub as your first Rolex, which watch did you purchase next? A few months ago at the AD when I bought my first Rolex, I tried on several models but just fell head over heels over the SubC. Which watch gave you guys that feeling for a second time?

harvey · 6 April 2014, 09:37 PM

Exactly the same order Harvey! Great minds think alike! LOL

First a Daytona then a SubC within a month. These two go well together.

When do you wear which? Do you wear the Daytona oft more formal occasions than the SubC?

+1

For me daytona was first and sub lv was second. Perfect pair imo.

Rogdogg · 6 April 2014, 09:44 PM

First for me was an ExpII Polar and second was the GMT IIc Blnr. Absolutely love them both. I'm thinking sub for my next one.

That blnr is just plain sexy.

Can't wait for the Pepsi in SS!

It's already here. But if you're waiting for a ceramic pepsi in SS , don't hold your breath.

nickb732 · 6 April 2014, 09:50 PM

Daytona, followed by a GMTIIc one month later.

commanderbond · 6 April 2014, 09:51 PM

What a great start to a collection that would be

commanderbond · 6 April 2014, 10:08 PM

Loving the yellow gold Daytona, as well as the TT

paltak · 6 April 2014, 10:24 PM

Sub, Daytona, GMT for me... DD someday in the distant future

REFZ · 6 April 2014, 10:51 PM

After doubting to buy a SubC ND or a SD I bought the SubC ND as my first Rolex and a year later I also bought a SD.

Archduke · 6 April 2014, 11:02 PM

Ceramic Sub Date first.

Explorer II 16570 second - slimmer profile, stealthier, works with a suit and for sport / leisure.

sea-dweller · 7 April 2014, 12:57 AM

Mine was a Sub ND, then a GMT II.

mike · 7 April 2014, 01:02 AM

A second timezone reference, to me, always made a perfect yin to a diver's yang. Either a GMT or EXP II.

anothernewphone · 7 April 2014, 01:14 AM

Well, I've had the 16610, 114060, 16600, 116610, and 116610LV, but I don't think there's going to be any to get a Rolex diver off my wrist for a long time. If I ever add to the stable instead of trading, I think it would have to be something markedly different. A Day-Date or a Royal Oak are the only watches that I could see myself wearing over my LV if my LV was sitting in the watch box. It'll be a long time before I have those kind of funds on hand without trading.

red1108nyc · 7 April 2014, 01:15 AM

I think the corner stones of a collection should be premised on a daytona, classic SD, GMT with color in pepsi/coke or lv and then to finish it off with a Polar Explorer!

kenm · 7 April 2014, 05:39 AM

I bought my first Rolex (a 5513 Sub) in 1985. Then I bought my 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th over the past two months. My recent acquisitions are: a SubC No Date, a 36mm TT DJ, a 42mm polar Exp II, a 36mm YG President Day Date, and a TT SubC w/sunburst blue. They all spend equal time on my wrist now. But in six months, I bet it'll be the bluesy that gets the most wear, and the Day Date a close second.

Ravager135 · 7 April 2014, 07:09 AM

Something white dial like the DJ2 or Explorer II.

ROLEX4EvEr · 7 April 2014, 07:11 AM

DateJust for a few years then purchased a Sub

kenm · 7 April 2014, 07:53 AM

Actually, I think you need to answer two questions - do you want sport or dress, and how much do you want to spend. Those answers will point you in the right direction.

I love my sub as a sports watch, maybe something a bit dressier? Money's not really the issue because I don't mind waiting for the right time and right watch

White DJ2 makes sense or a YM.

commanderbond · 11 April 2014, 01:08 PM

maybe yachtmaster II or gold daytona!

Kadhytia · 7 April 2014, 07:55 AM

Daytona would be best or you could try a Yachmaster
