Looks perfect on you Trevor!
BTW, I can relate to the "my name on the papers / warranty" thing.
That's why I almost always buy new. Plus, when I hand them down to my kids one day I think they will like seeing dads name on the card.
Enjoy the Exp2!

Remember it's only a spring.
You are always good for a laugh Eddie. By the way, mine has the 3287, there was one made so mine is a true collectors piece.

That fits you very wll Trevor I also think it is a keeper. However, it sure sounds like you are an habitual flipper and only time will tell how long you decide to keep it. Sometimes, we just have to tell ourselves no and enjoy what we have. At least, that's what I tell myself!

No, that's ok, the pathetic part is when you are holding your watch close to the bathroom light to charge it up for the night and your wife comes in and gives you "the look"!

Congrats, Trevor! The watch looks fantastic on you. I am glad to hear that you may have found "the one." I am just sad that I missed out on that AT8500 in the Sales Forum. My Speedy Pro needs a big brother:)

Love it Trevor!! The 216570 is a fantastic reference, and I think Rolex did a great job with the upgrades. I also agree with your point about the smaller clasp than the sub...it just makes for a more comfortable fit underneath my wrist!!

Hope you enjoy it for years to come!

Ha Ha, is your Speedy lonely? The AT 8500 went to a great guy in IN, he was more than happy. It was a brand new watch, one week old so he scored a great deal.
