Hi all,
Just want to share with TRF my feelings about why I decided to buy a new watch.

I love watches since many many years and now I own a humble collection and know is not amazing but makes me feel proud and happy.
Last year I was thinking in finding the watch to wear every day. I had to find it!!!, not easy because I love nearly all brands and quite lot of styles. Bit fed up with changing watch thinking "this is the one" but after few weeks, started wondering if I was wearing the right one.

Well! Finally decided will be not Omega or Breitling or Longines or .... Oh god!! Which one to wear??? Then I asked myself about the brand which is more important in my life, the brand is more significant to me, the brand I feel really comfortable...once again, Rolex is the one!!!

Really love to wear every model I have in my collection for one specific day/week/activity but now is time to wear one every day. The one will get thousands of scratches, impacts, dirt, water, tools vibrations... whatever happens in my "normal days". Need a tool/dress/casual/sport watch to be and suffer with me.

Been working hard this last year and was not possible to celebrate my 40th birthday because I was far away from family and decided to do it when we were together. Now arrives my 41st, I'm with my wife and daughters and this means happiness!!! so decided to make an auto-gift. After getting a great deal with an AD in Monaco, just sent the transfer and if nothing wrong, will arrive in few days!!
Now is time to wait ...! Oh men, nervousness!!!

Sorry for the long post but this was a full time brain job before taking the decision.

Have a nice day!
Carlos.

Thanks Bas! You're right! Been thinking a lot in the 34mm green dial but the 36mm SS dial called me more!!

It looks very sharp. A nice choice. I am glad you bought a watch to wear with everyday use. Can’t wait to see some pics in a few months or years from everyday abuse.

Happy Belated Birthday as well.

Great Chiice.

enjoy
