Done with Rolex!!
Hello friends, as of yesterday I am done with my Rolex itch. I added the last one I have was looking for since I sold it a couple of years ago, a Explorer 16570. A little background, I am 37 years old, about 5 years ago I got my first Rolex, a complete set white polar 16570, I paid $3900 for it. I loved the watch and never took it off, not too long after I got a Sub from 1976 5513. Two years went by and I traded in my beloved polar white for a 16710 Pepsi dial GMT. I thought I was done buying Rolex watches but I could never forget the polar white. Yesterday my jeweler called me and told me he had a mint, P series 2000 explorer white dial with papers and box. The deal was too good to pass and I bought it on the spot. I can honestly now say that I am done with Rolex, as I feel I have the ones I’ve always wanted. My next purchase will be a Reverso sometime before my 40th birthday. Thanks for reading and best wishes to all.

Understandable setup you have there .. air-land-sea/water and this are in my opinion the true tool watch references.. I have the 114060+216570 looking to add a ceramic gmt later on... I like ur collection a LOT.. But i also like the bling of ceramic im afraid ;p the polar is great btw!! I love my polar 42mm. Super good collection brother

Thanks for the comment guys! If I could afford it I’d try to get an older Daytona and would be done with watches all together!!

Nice collection! Nothing wrong with that. Plenty of other fish out there.
I am also done with Rolex with just one <-- the one to the left :)

Perfect trio of steel stunners, excellent next choice ! With that ensemble, the 976 Reverso will fit nicely.
