New purchase …
Look closely …..
Wanted this watch for a very long time it’s the 11 series of course. I own the GMT meteorite already so some could say it’s overlap but hey my collection my rules :) So I remember when the Pepsi come out on oyster there we’re lots of complainers (albeit people who didn’t own the watch) that said people should be P******* off that Rolex had made the watch look identical to the steel version. A lot of people swapped to the blue dial and I have to say the relatively short production run the fact that it does have the black dial makes it very unique and more desirable to me. AD hands down promised me a steel Pepsi by the end of last year - never happened as seems to be an common theme with me. So off I went and bought myself this. Picked it up a few days ago I managed to lock myself out of my TRF account. If I’m honest, I really would of liked a mark 1 bezel For this watch to further differentiate from my GMT meteorite. but I found this 2018 model and had to have it. Been on the wrist for a few days now and I think this must be the ultimate “stealth wealth” in the catalogue (or ex catologue). Quick couple of snaps whilst waiting in the cafe whilst waiting for my little princess to finish drama school. Was going to a bit further into detail on this post but I don’t have much time and wanted to share with you all. I absolutely will be downsizing my collection soon . But I’ll save that post for another time. Have a good day everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

There is never an overlap when you have a watch obsession.
Congrats! Beautiful watch. No different than owning a white and black dial Daytona. Gotta be done if you love them. |

Great pick up. Congratulations. It is a comparatively stealthy watch and very comfortable.

Very good point! Thanks for helping to justify it ha. Quote:

Cheers brian! I do really have some tough choices to make. Im fortunate to of been able to buy every Rolex I want or am interested in now at this point. But I am slightly uncomfortable about the amount of money I have tied up in watches so some are going to have to go I’m going to start with moving out two. |

Hehe cheers ant, I know I really like the exp ii, But I like this more! I actually do enjoy my steel watches - especially my sd43 and sky dweller. Hope you get your Daytona soon ill be keeping my eyes open. And will appreciate your input on downsizing once I’ve put my whole collection up.
