My sea-dweller!!!!

[Rolex40mm]

I just found an old picture of my E serial SD. I bought it years ago, but sold it last year for a few reasons. First, the watch was thick, and everyone around me noticed its presence. Also, it was hard to tuck under a dress shirt. People in business meetings were always commenting on it…"Wow is that a Rolex". Even a guy wearing a Patek Calatrava once told me that i'm wearing a nice watch during a meeting. I was like (to myself), "You bastard, you get to be stealthy with your Calatrava, and i'm over here parading my watch. LOL"

Another time my boss came to my office, and he was wearing a 45mm planet ocean. He asked me if i'm wearing a submariner. I told him it's a SD. He said, "Oh nice, i wish my watch wasn't so big, it really annoys me sometimes." In other words, he was telling me that he wished he had my watch.

Needless to say, I did not like this type of attention, and sold it when i got the chance. The new watch i had in mind was the Explorer II, and i bought a beautiful example with a black dial, and am still very content with it.

I have to admit though , there's something that i do miss about submariners. I can't quite comprehend it, but something is telling me to get the 14060M. I figure it's not as chunky as the SD, doesn't have a date window, and would satisfy my urge for a nice diver. The second contender is the 36mm Explorer. It's now becoming the second by far, as i grow more and more fond of the no date Sub.

Any thoughts?
