Yet Another What to Buy Post....

[brettpaul]

Try them all on at an AD so you can see first-hand how they feel on your wrist, but from what you've said I'd say BLNR. It's a sport model with the PCL's so it can be dressed up or down.

No matter which you choose from the list you can always make a lateral move to another piece with no or little money out of pocket.

Congrats and don't forget to post pics!!

You mention being stocky; the Explorer II is 42 mm and may be better for wrist presence. It has a date and the GMT function may be useful if you travel. Good discounts seem to be available for this model.

I don't know what being a construction supervisor actually entails. If you actually work in the trenches then a watch with polished center links might not be a great choice. I think you'll see they are prone to micro scratches and smudges. That may not bother you but I thought it was worth mentioning.

I prefer the DJ II if you are choosing between that and the Milgaus. It has a date function, and the blue stick smooth bezel model is both sporty and dressy. It's also less money than the Milgaus.

Congratulations on your milestones and have fun making your choice!

The trenches have evolved into phone calls,emails,lunches and thousand of miles driven each week, I did jump in with a crew and help wheel concrete about a month ago, it took about that long for my quads to not be sore LOL! The boys got a kick out of it though. My wife seems to favor the look of the larger watches on my frame as well, think that's what the appeal of the DJII was for me that being said I need to re-evaluate the Exp II in polar white this time, many recommendations on that piece in this thread. Thanks!

Then I'd look to add the Datejust II.

Man I have really been contemplating selling it and using the funds to lessen the blow of a BLNR, just can't get past the fact that it was my first Rolex and maybe one of my kids would appreciate it one day more than me when they graduate college

That blue dial is a stunner

[Norms]

i have a ZBlue, blue dial DJii and a GMTiic haha so i know your list pretty well. i would say go for the milgauss if you like it. i have just under 7'' wrists and i think its the comfiest watch i own, the DJii is a close second and the GMT would be the third. unless you have very flat or skinny/bony wrists it'll fit fine. it is a big higher and thicker due to the faraday cage, but with round wrists it still fits perfectly. oddly enough i think the edges of the GMT and crown digs into my wrist quite a bit and thats why it loses points for comfort. theres really nothing quite like the milgauss ZBlue out there.
