Icon2 How did you decide on which Rolex model you purchased / intend on purchasing?

My 1st 2 Rolex purchases were my Air Kings. Once I started to research Rolex a bit I read about the rich history of the AK's. They were used by the British Pilots in WW2, and being prior military (Air Force) myself my decision was a no brainer, and I couldn't wait to get my hands on them. The 14010M's were an easy decision as I love the engine turned bezel!

IMHO the TTDJ is the quintessential Rolex. I remember being about 8 or 9 and seeing my uncle with 1 - I believe that was the 1st time I had actually seen a Rolex. So the 1601 that I own is actually a birth year watch born the same year as me (1980). The other TTDJ (the 16013) I bought was because I have to have 2 of everything - it's a weird little "thing" I have.

Now I don't really have a story as to why I purchased the Explorer I except that it's a pretty cool freaking watch - well Kyle's awesome pictures of his Explorer may have influenced me!
