Icon7 Rolex: a never ending love affair...

Yesterday me and my brother went to one of our regular places to watch "the game" (that is local soccer match), when an old friend showed up.

As he was by himself, we asked him to join us, so he took off his jacket and sat to my right. Then it happened: he was wearing a polar expy (40mm, with lug holes)....once again, love is in the air!

I have owned that watch 3 times (and given it away as present to family members); this event made me remember how goooooood it looks and confirms that to a WIS, Rolex is a never ending love affair!

No, unfortunately. I have not seen him in over 5 years, so I felt uneasy taking a pic of his watch

The nice thing about the Expy2 is that usually only people interested in watches purchase that model.

I have always enjoyed wearing watches and in this day and age where we all carry cell phone which tell the time many people no longer wear and use watches. I have always liked Rolex watches and am grateful that I can finally wear and enjoy one(or more)on my wrist.....everyday!!!
