Incoming & A Serious First World Problem

Okay, so the Rolex that first brought me to the brand was not the first Rolex that I ended up buying. I was seeking a Sub ND but found and very much liked a BLNR. Like many a first-time buyer, I allowed myself to get distracted.

Long story short, the BLNR did not suit me well (the PCLs scratched easily and the extra "pop" worked better as an idea in the showroom than as a daily wearer in my everyday casual life) and I sold it a few months after buying it.

I was going to have that Sub ND!

But I couldn't find one easily, so I decided to wait for my AD to get one while biding my time by buying what I at first considered to be a "cheaper" alternative.

Damn, that "cheaper" alternative ended up suiting me so very well that when I finally did get the Sub ND (today!!) and returned home, I found myself realizing just how much I LOVE this damned "cheaper" alternative...this Pelagos in-house...

Of course, I will be taking those stickers and bezel protector off soon, I just know it. But this Pelagos ended up surprising me to such an extent that I can't help but wonder which will end up getting more wrist time.

I never imagined that the Pelagos would get any love after the Sub ND arrived. Hmmm.

I feel like I got everything backwards. But I am also STOKED to have, after so many distractions, landed the watch that I've wanted for quite some time.

Uh, yes, I'm still wearing the Pelagos as I type this.
