I have all three. Yes, they all have black dials but they’re so different. I usually wear my Speedy on a strap so that makes it feel very different, too. All are terrific watches!

Congrats! Those are two great pieces together, definitely different enough to co-exist in the same collection.

Getting my Sub ND back from warranty work tomorrow morning, its been a long 6 weeks (to the day!)

Enjoy in good health!

Thanks everyone, TRF is a very supportive group. I was amazed at how difficult this was to get, as my AD told me that they had only received one other one this year. We were talking about a time where you could get a discount on a Sub ND as it sat on the shelf. The times have changed...

Anyways, I hope that those who are waiting get their pieces in good time. Especially those in Vancouver. This is a tough city to stay relevant, but my guy told me that he simply enjoys conversation and those excited to wear their watch.

Well, I have been buying and flipping watches for years. Here in Vancouver, I am very fortunate to have a few ADs, for various brands, who I know well and trust. Even if I just drop by to chat, look at the latest models without intent to buy, I am always welcomed.

The AD relationship means a lot to me. The only friend I had, who I could chat with locally over coffee about watches, moved away a few years ago. Nobody else I know, family or friends, are the least bit interested in my hobby. Only astounded on the amount of money I spend!!

And I certainly agree. This is a most supportive, knowledgeable and friendly forum to hang about on.

Hope you get tons of pleasure out of both those Rolex models. I put on my Explorer tonight, to go out for dinner, just to celebrate your success and the brand!

Cheers,
Carl

Very kind of you! Currently wearing the Explorer in my clinic. It’s a subtle watch and goes well with what I wear. I’m excited to get the Submariner in rotation.

However...I am now wondering if I should keep the Speedy.

Keep both. Not redundant at all.

Keep all 3 for at least a year and see which ones rise to the top. You have 3 of the best watches ever made. Enjoy them!

SubC date and Explorer. Or just Explorer imo. To me, no need for Exp and SubC.

That is the ticket, NDLS - Both. I truly like your style The Explorer MkII and the Submariner 114060 are my favorite rotation! - The hardest thing of the rotation for me is the taking of one off! I love both of these watches!
