Collection Realignment (Explorer heavy)
It’s good every now and then to re-evaluate your collection and move some pieces you’re not wearing. These watches we love are meant to be worn!
A few things I’ve realized over the years with watches: 1. I’m not a dress watch guy. I want to be, but then I never wear them. After two attempts, I think I’m done with them. I had a Grand Seiko SBGW-231 before the DeVille. Both stunning watches that were rarely worn. 2. I’m a Rolex guy. I want to be a watch guy, but at heart I really love Rolex. 3. Like my screen name says, I love the Explorer line (original and II). I’ve tried many other models, but always come back to the Explorer range. 4. I’m really getting the gold bug. I’m turning 50 in 13 months and would really love to add a Day-Date. I’m hoping they come out with a blue dial option with yellow gold! I just moved my two Omegas to good homes. My collection is down to the steel Explorer and the two tone Explorer now. I’m next on the list for the new Polar Explorer II at my local AD. They always come through, so I’m hoping to get it sometime this year. Day-Date in 2023 to complete the collection? Not likely if I continue to hang around here, but I’m happy with the plan.

You need a Submariner for more variety, don’t you?

Nice, thanks for sharing. Totally agree with you, Explorer range is fantastic. For Gold/Blue combo, have you considered a bluesy? Or the YG sub blue dial. I think they'd be of interest for you.
BTW great decision to move along on those Omegas.

A yellow gold bluesy Submariner would be ridiculously cool!!! And that would give me three different dial sizes; 36, 41 and 42. I really like this suggestion and will take it under advisement. I have over a year to think on it. I'd like a gold Rolex for my 50th! |

I agree! I wore a black dial Explorer II for years and I really miss that watch. But with two black dials in the fold I think it's time to give the polar a try. I saw one in the wild recently and couldn't believe how amazing it looked.
