Well damn, looks like I have been bitten by the TRF bug...

After having picked up a 39mm Explorer I in celebration of a promotion at work last year, I have been thinking of how far to take this watch collecting, from sticking with the Explorer I for life to entertaining the thought of starting a collection. I have gone back and forth on this for quite sometime. I had planned on getting a YG Rolex or something along that price range- the "grail". The big question was do I get something else in between that time? Well, I've finally figured out a plan (and here is where the TRF bug bite me)

For now, I'll stick with Rolex. Love the watches. I'll pick up one more SS model (either a subc or daytona) and then once I hit a milestone in my life, I'll go after the YG Rolex or something big like that.

Thanks to all the enablers and high quality pics of their Subs

, I'm now thinking a SubC 116610 would be a fine choice as the second Rolex in the collection.

But I have a wrist that is around 6" and wonder if anybody here has a subc and a small wrist and can post up pics up, thanks! Have been too busy with work and a new baby to make it to the AD to try one one...

Congrats on the purchase and good luck with the next. I'm sure a 40mm Sub-C would be fine on your wrist.

Subc will be fine for you, have at it!

It's hard to match a Subc when it comes to an all around perfect watch

Looking good!

Thanks for the support, but it's not congrats yet, now I have to find the time in between the job, a newborn, moving, and a bunch of other stuff to get to the AD to see if I like it on my wrist and see what kind of deal I can get.

But I am excited to go to the AD- always a fun time to try on different watches.

My Rolex was supposed to be a "forever watch." The damn things are SO addictive, though. I'm already eyeing other pieces. Sadly, so is my wife :-(
