New to Rolex... my collection so far
Hey guys,
Well I have been a long time reader on this forum and thought I would post some pictures of my collection to date. I started my love affair with the S/S Rolex Daytona. It's subtle appearance and sheer elegance coupled with the heritage it holds made it an obvious choice. I purchased it new from an AD in 2013 prior to the birth of my first child. I've worn it every day since and only taken it off for bed!  Since buying this watch the Mrs got a bit jealous and dropped some subtle hints around Christmas time... so back off to the AD I went... Stunned with a choice of watches I felt as she had earlier that year had our first child she deserved something a bit special so got her this...  Almost a year since I purchased the Daytona I feel the time has come to give myself another watch to sport maybe on those days when I feel like being casually dressed... I feel wearing my Daytona on a Sunday when I am in the house doing nothing is like wearing a shirt and tie to do the gardening :) So... back I went yesterday to my AD after a phone call to say he had something I maybe interested in. Within 10 minutes I had walked out agreeing to buy the Rolex GMT II BLNR which I will go collect on Friday :) |

Thank you all for kind comments. I was torn between waiting for the Sea-dweller 4000 and the BLNR but happy with my choice, and in actual fact I am ,looking forward to the date function being on the watch as its missing from the Daytona and very useful to me!

I think theirs something about AD that just hypnotise you into buying a watch. It must be the white glove he wears
