Incoming first Rolex…
And I chose 116610V.
Been a lurker here for quite sometime and finally have the means to add a third watch to my small current collection of two divers. Only the Omega did I purchase new from an AD and as of today the Rolex is my worst “investment” of the three. Black - Omega Plant Ocean 2201.50 with the D revision of the ETA caliber 2500. The most accurate and durable watch I’ve owned. Also the largest at 42mm. Blue - Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 5008-11B40-52A Ocean Commitment III. As SCUBA diver that uses these watches as tools, there isn’t a better dive watch IMO. It’s very rare and highly sought after for a reason. This isn’t the place to list it’s merit but, it’s my undisputed grail. Green - Rolex Submariner Hulk because it’s cool and rounds out my colours. Prefer maxi case and it’s the first sub to feature the now popular ceramic bezel. I’ll post a few pictures of the Holy Diver trinity when it arrives.

Congrats! I love my Hulk too. I've thought of adding a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms but no dealers in my area, perhaps previously worn is the way to go. Wear them in good health. Cheers!

Thanks and do it. Blancpain’s movements are second to none. They are the oldest surviving watch manufacturer and never once produced a quartz watch.
