2021 Rolexes


While I’m still holding my breath for another call prior to Christmas for a Kermit. I’m pretty happy with the two watches I’ve gotten from my AD since meeting them this year. I put off buying myself a Rolex for years thinking I'll do it next year and quickly they started to add up. A couple life challenges happened recently and I decided that this was the right year. Had to play some AD games but it wasn't close to the horror stories I've heard. I can say its been a good journey.

The Vacheron is the winner in this picture.

TT Daytona’s are underrated. They are certainly taste specific, but the weight and feel is my favorite. It’s the most worn piece in my collection.

Thank you, you have a bug for the chrono as well I see. The gold dial with the TT makes it feel like the retirement Rolex. My FIL snags it out of my box and wears it with joy anytime he comes into town

Kill them with kindness seems to be what worked for me. But there's no lying that it took buying a tennis bracelet to get in the door.

Hahaha. I definitely had to grow to love the bezel and really do now. Especially next to something like an AP RO or a Rolex ceramic bezel, but they killed it with the bracelet comfort and the quick change straps are pure genius

I think that is the perfect three watch collection; definitely agree that the VC is the true winner in the trio

I appreciate it. I love the other two for different reasons but this one is definitely pretty and love the practicality.
