Dan, Dan, Dan,
You need to step back and take a breather imo. I think we can all relate to what you're going through, to some degree at least.
For my two cents worth stay put with the Explorer 1 (36m) and consider picking up a 14060 down the road. I know you've been down that road 2 or 3 times before, maybe there's a reason you go back to a Sub.
From what little I know of you being a one watch guy may not be possible. The above mix would give you the best of both worlds, the Exploer 1 for dress and flying below the radar. The Sub for sport and casual.
Disclaimer- these are my two favourite Rolex.
As much as I hate to quote "The Watch Snob" If one can only have one watch than Rolex Sub covers it all, from jeans and Tshirt to Tux, it works.
I've been wearing a Sub n/d with a Speedy as my back up for 30+years. It's not easy but can be done.
Give yourself some time before making anymore decisions and Good Luck with whatever decision you come to.
Regards, Mark.

Maybe go back to the 39mm?

You might learn to love the enhancements

Oh no Dan ....... sorry to hear that you are not happy with your latest Rolex purchase ....... stop in JJ's Bar and have some drinks to ease your pain!

cwilson13 · 4 November 2011, 04:10 AM

if you are open to suggestions, take a look at the IWC Port Auto 5001. I am finding mine to be a great all purpose (although not sport) watch. It wears big for a 42mm but not stupid big. good luck. tomorrow is only a day away!

Johny · 4 November 2011, 05:15 AM

16610 lv with black insert and nato strap. imho.

masterserg · 4 November 2011, 05:24 AM

I'll say it again .. you need a Sub C ... preferably the LV .. .therein lies the solution to your problem

How about a wrist reduction?

HL65 · 4 November 2011, 10:28 AM

Hang strong brother!! There are truly plenty of nice ones out there to choose from. Stick to the basics--Classic Sub works or an SD. Maybe take a break for a while though and give it some thought...

brkanand · 4 November 2011, 10:44 AM

I totally understand your plight, as I have been through the same thing...we love a model one minute and find a reason to flip the next...I am a lawyer and am so stable in my job....but the watch thing...forget it...I am a freak, rolex today...panerai tomorrow....rolex again...flipping regret....it is scary what I have gone through....got a 1675 right now...but panerai is calling again....ugh...I totally relate

I have a large wrist as well - bones, not fat - and I found the Explorer 214270 was a bit of a tight fit - especially during the summer heat this year. but it fits okay.

On the other hand, I've had a couple of Omega's (Seamaster 300m with electric blue wave dial and my current Planet Ocean XL) in each case I had to get at least one link taken out.

But I hear you about not being able to decide... I looked at the GMT-II so many times I think I was seeing it in my sleep. But at the end of the day, I just couldn't bring myself to pay the price. I got over it - or let's just say I found something else to lust after. Plus it seems like everyone has a Submariner or GMT-II - so I opted for the new Explorer I 'cause it was different. You can get obsessed by these works of art.
