Definitely will! By then it's probably the 80th anniversary Sea Dweller

I was fortunate to have picked up my second Rolex Sea Dweller 126603 two tone, steel and gold. This one is my new baby. The feeling you get putting it on is "Pure ecstasy". It's a great feeling and enjoy the ride.

I'm still in the honeymoon phase, pure ecstasy is the way to describe it! Even when I don't have to go out, I would wear it with my PJs

I bought her a DJ last year after always wanting a Rolex myself…then the market went crazy and I gave up temporarily. In the interim she surprised me with a nicer Rolex than I would have bought myself! Hope my daughter enjoys wearing A GMT. :)

What were you going to get originally?

Definitely, I need to put it around his wrist and snap a picture and do the same picture when he grows up!

Double Congrats! Welcome to two exclusive clubs! Enjoy your watch in good health and I hope your son is happy and healthy as well.

My story is very similar to yours.

Congrats! Love that watch, wish it was 40mm though

[ROBERT1183]

Awesome! Congratulations on both. I don't think there is something you can pass on that's more meaningful and personal than a watch.

[longuy7]

Congrats to both additions!

[Everbillz]

Congratulations on your double incoming

[rmlovett1]

Big congratulations all around!

[ocwatching]

[jlevitt9]

This is going to be the one watch that I will wear daily so I did a lot of research and have been looking at it for probably 2-3 years now. I've also looked at the Batman, the Sub, Omega Speedy etc. Even though I own the watch now, it's still stunning whenever I come across a photo of it even though they all look the same! It never gets old. The design is flawless in every angle. The matte dial, red line, cyclops, HEV makes it very special.

I thought this thing was on battery, it runs so freaking long! I fully wind it on Mon, wore it on the same day and Thurs for a couple of hours and it is still running today (Sat)! This thing is gorgeous. Every night when I put my baby to bed, I would have the box opened beside me while I catch up on forums and just listen to the bezel. I got a 2x, 10x, 35x magnifier to check out all the details of this beauty!

Fun Facts: From 12-6 the hour marker will line up with the X, from 6-11 it will line up with the R perfectly in the middle. Rolex

I was hesitant to get it at first due to the size and weight but I know I won't be happy with any other watch. I pulled the trigger and in the end, it doesn't even feel as big and heavy as what many claim.

To all the smaller wrists out there, go for it. My wrist is 6.75", flat and it fits just right! I'm also a taller guy, medium built and on the mirror, it looks like a sub. With the slimmer lugs, it's not your typical 43mm. The dial is the same size as a sub, just the bezel is bigger. The internet can be confusing with so many opinions but you just got to trust your guts!

This watch brings me peace and calmness every time I put it on. Is that odd? Anyone else feels this?


Cheers guys

I wish I have a better camera

Congratulations on your first baby and his future Rolex gift :-)
Can you imagine him posting here in 18 or so years that very same picture you’re sharing of him now? That would be amazing.
