My plan for when I get much older is to travel somewhere (Japan, UK, etc) and take a watch then sell it in the local currency and travel as long as I can on the proceeds.

interesting. appreciate the anecdote and devotion to Rolex

Nah covid be damned. I just miss my polar explorer

It was a tossup between this and a Smurf dial. But Rolex aside, green is my favorite color. And shoot, the anniversary GMT is the first ceramic Rolex. How cool is that!

Now if a Smurf diamond dial came along, maybe things would be different...

Great choice on the gold GMT with green dial.

And holy cow on the thought of a diamond dial Smurf.
