The one I’ll never sell

Something about the first Rolex, I just will never sell. I got this Milgauss when I was 21. It opened up this wonderful journey for me. Over these past years, I have acquired 4 more Rolex watches. And I don’t think I’m going to end here!

Happy Monday!Great game Dallas Cowboys yesterday btw!

Good going. That's a beauty there. I had the same one, really like the pop of the orange outer markers and the matte dial. I have the Zblue now.

Awesome watch!

I just bought the same one, fully stickered, unworn a couple weeks. Haven't worn it yet but when I get back from vacation next week I'm going to "de-sticker" it and start to wear it.

Nice. I really like the GV black dial as well. The green crystal is amazing

Love the Milgauss! I would never sell mine either. Rolex and Tudor seem to be the only watches I keep.

I have sold JLC, AP, but Rolex for some reason is more difficult to part with.

Had thoughts of selling my 116500LN to fund a PM piece but have decided against it for now.

But yeah, in particular I have 114060 that is sentimental for me. It is the perfect daily.

Half of me would love to have a milgauss and the other half is calling the first half crazy... It's like Rolexs ugly step child who also happens to be pretty popular. I'd probably still rock it though!

Thank you, I appreciate it!
I try to buy what I like and not just following the hype. Right now I’m not sure what to get next as I am still enjoying what I got recently.
I am pretty interested in vintage 1680 Red.

If you think it’s ugly. Don’t buy it.... simple as that

Don’t get it because it “popular”
