The watch is just over a week old for me. He is four weeks old and already trying out his inheritance.

Congrats on your beautiful baby! You should get a NATO so your son can wear his inheritance.

Love my 42...

Is black more popular than white? I'm thinking of buying one, but can't decide.

Around TRF the polar dial 216570 is more popular, however, don't go with what the crowd or masses prefer, choose what YOU like! ;-)

The one pictured is a 22; some 20s run a bit large that fill the 21 lugs, while other 20s run smaller and expose the spring bars.

It's really hit and miss between 20s and 22s when trying to fit the 21 lugs.

Wow.... Breathtaking beautiful photos in this thread. Most like the Explorer II will be my next target. But I cannot decide Black or White dial.

today via DAVIDSW...love it.

had to give up my sea-dweller to get it (people will say i'm crazy), but i think it's worth it. best updated rolex IMO.

these new-style bracelets and clasps are amazing. i'm never going back to the old "tuna can" ones unless it's a really cool piece of vintage.

6.5" wrist.

***jeez, this thing had plastic in every nook and cranny***

I am still going to say major congrats as the 216570 is one of my favorite modern Rolex reference, however, that SD!!! Maaaaaan! I would have held on to that one!

The more I look at this watch, the more I want it.... I can not believe I am thinking about letting my SubC ND go for it... I have never been so damn conflicted about a watch deal/exchange in my life.
