Incoming X2 !?!

I've never posted "incoming" posts before but tomorrow is going to be a special day for me. Not one, but two new watches are coming in and I'm genuinely excited. Oddly I always play things down and don't show my excitement but I'm having a hard time containing myself tonight. I can't wait for that Fedex truck to pull up to my house.

I'm usually fairly conservative in my taste in watches but this time around I went completely in the opposite direction.

This forum is the only place where I can vent and someone understands.

Thanks everyone!

If I were to guess which one would get more wrist time yesterday and leading up to this double purchase it would have been the Sub. Oddly I'm wearing the YMII mostly instead. I've said this in another thread, the Yachtmaster II was my least favorite Rolex a year ago. Something happened a month ago and I started noticing it more and read up about the timing function. That got me intrigued and then the more I saw it, the more I liked it. It just started calling my name. It's got tremendous wrist presence. I like the heft of the watch on my wrist. I like the colors and the nautical feel to it. I do sail once in a while.

So now I'm thinking that maybe the YMII will get more wrist time for now.

The Hulk has been on my short list for months but the stars just didn't align until now. I might just put it away for a week or two until the urge to want it becomes too strong.

Cool, I bought the SS YMII when it came out, keep it for about 8 months or so, sold it because I liked having a date.... I miss it a lot, thinking about getting another one...
Congrats again and enjoy!! you have two beauties right there!!
