Incoming!
Hi guys,
So I had to wait until I was 40 to afford/justify my first Rolex - which was a 16610 LV I picked up in March. I thought one watch would be enough - one sub to rule them all. However, I travel a lot, which made me wonder how useful the GMT function would be. Already owning a black dial watch, I fancied something different. So, yesterday I went to my local AD and picked up a 42mm Exp II Polar - here is my modest collection of 2! Duncs

Was really hoping you had got the Hulk so you would truly have... oh, can it be... two nuggets of the purest green!
 Anyway, Bladders, congrats! |

Modest collection of two? Ha, I said that last year. You'll have your third within twelve months.
Excellent choices, congrats

Thanks folks, and yes, unfortunately the itch has not been scratched! I did try the BLNR on in the AD, which looked superb, however I had my heart set on a white dial with GMT function. Trying the BLNR on though planted the seed of a future thought however....!

I hear you on getting a second so soon. I got my first in May, a Datejust II and I am deciding between a GMT and an Explorer II (black face) for my second one. It will be less than 12 months from my first until I have my second. |
