New to the forum but seen so many nice photos on the hulk ! TO all the hulk owners, can you see yourself wearing the hulk as your everyday watch? I have yet to see the hulk in person and was wondering whether its a watch that would match just as well as the classic SS Sub. Thanks!

As much as I love the Platona, hands down the 5170p wins in that comparison. Congrats

This has always been the dream. Just seems so balanced for a land/sea/air trio... Maybe put that Daytona on a black leather racing strap too.

And maybe swap the Sky Dweller for a BLNR on a jubilee. So you've got the PCLs on the Daytona, brushed glidelock on the Sub, and jubilee. Best of all worlds.

The Perfect 3 Rolex Collection



This is pretty darn close to perfect (at least for me)!!!

I’m in jeans / polo shirt everyday for work so no need for “dress” watch :)

My three-watch collection would be:

1. GMT Batman (although I'd consider an SS Sky-Dweller instead)
2. Daytona SS white ceramic
3. New Sea-Dweller red

I only have three at the minute so I guess it's these.....

I would say though the three I really aspire to owning would be WG Sub, WG Daytona on OF and WG BLRO (or the TT CHNR). I really like the idea of having Sub, Dayton and GMT all in PM.

If they would make the 116619 with the sunburst blue dial, I think it would be in my top 3 Rolex of all time.

Assuming that I would have to live by my own budget and not just buy dream money, my 3 Rolex Collection is:

116610LV Hulk Sub
116618LB YG Sub
BLRO or Platona (too hard to choose this morning)

Cheers and I hope everyone makes their dream collection happen.

Fantastic purchase / investment if purchased from an AD at MSRP?

You've bought a ton of watches from them before that

Unless you went grey.
