I'm back in the club - Deep Sea

The only rolex I have owned was a stainless daytona w/ white dial. Unfortunately, 40mm is just to small for me so I sold it years ago. I generally only wear 44mm and up as I am the size of a football player that never played football haha. Truth is that I've been looking for a rolex that is big enough but Rolex doesn't make many larger watches..... until I stumbled upon the Deep Sea.

Very fortunate as my father gave me this last week for my 40th bday. I've had my eye on it for a while.

Current collection: Breitling Aerospace (16th bday), Breitling Super Ocean Seawolf (21st bday), Breitling Navitimer Heritage (college grad gift), Breitling Chronomatic 49, Breitling Emergency, Brietling Navitimer Montbrillant 47, Breitling B50, IWC Spitfire Chronograph, IWC BP 5004, IWC BP Top Gun 48, IWC BP Heritage Bronze, IWC BP Big Date 150 Year, Panerai Submersible 1389.

As you can see, my dad got me into watches at an early age! This Deep Sea is a keeper!

Also, I must say this is far and above any other watch forum I've been a part of. I have been searching for something this good for years. I am active on many forums for various interests and this one is top notch! I know it's rolex focused, but the general activity and support is awesome!
