25 - Used Sea Dweller 16660
30 - Vintage GMT 16750
35 - "Vintage" Daytona 16520
40 - Hulk 116610LV (The only new and modern Rolex I've purchased)

Still have each of them. The 16660 was the right choice at the time, it was my only watch for a while so worn daily for every activity.

That's a very nice DJII. Makes me think about going with the 41mm over the 36. I always enjoy seeing wrist shots as you can't really see the true look of the watch in marketing photos.

16570 F Explorer II black dial at 27
116710 GMT Master IIc at 29

Thanks, Yes I wavered back and forth as well. After wearing it for a week so glad I went with 41. The fit is very comfortable. Personally I think it fits like the 39, at least to me. I would recommend the 41 to anyone that is comparing. Best of luck with your decision!

Currently 34

32 - 116610ln
34 - 116500ln (white)

Next up might be a PM, possibly a BLRO or if the price is right, 116655. Wife has never cared that much about watches, but lately feels like she might be trying to get in on the mix, which would slow my PM purchase down a little.
