What to wear this weekend SAS Exp II or Daytona?

Um...how about a HALOWEEN COSTUME??????

The poll is closed. I would have given a slight edge to the EXP because of the bit of orange. Otherwise, it's pretty much a toss up.

Although I would normally say Daytona all day, every day... That is an AWESOME Explorer.

Plus, black n orange!

Rolex has made other limited editions including a DSSD for the Royal Navy Clearance Diving branch, the 'Octopus' Sommazatori, and for the SRR. All of these watches were modified by Rolex in Geneva. This follows in the tradition of COMEX issue watches. All trade at a premium. I am a big military history buff as well as a watch collector and thought it was a great blend of both as well as being basically under the radar. I own a COMEX as well and am not a saturation diver either. I have shown this watch to some active and former military personnel here in the states and they thought it was cool and wished Rolex had done something like that for their unit. I wear it for what it is, in my opinion, a cooler and rarer version of what's out there. As far as premium paid, I paid less than the numbers they are fetching at auction, which is a hefty premium. A premium that given the history of who it was initially made for and given the detail of the work as well as the small number made seems entirely justified. That's the beauty of this game...to each their own.

The obvious difference between the Comex, the Italian police SD, the Panama Canal Submariner and this Exp2 (and the Seaking GMT 11) is that Rolex modifies the dial and not the caseback.
