What is your next Rolex?...

Mine is the Explorer II white dial. I will pick it up next month.

I have to say that if I'm perfectly happy with my 16610. So if I never get another one, I won't be disapointed. But if I do, it's going to be a Plat/ SS YM

For the time being pretty happy with the 6 I have.

Maybe it is truly time for me to leave the buying stage and time to just start enjoying the ones I have.

........ or the YM is looking pretty good.

Between my GMT-II, YG DD, and 2 TT DJ's, I've got enough Rollies to hold me. There just aren't many other Rolexes I would want. The only one I would like to have is the YG Daytona with meteorite dial and black strap. But I'll have to wait till I hit the Powerball jackpot to get that one. And since I don't play the Powerball, looks like the wait will be a long one.

Subby, what planet did you just come from? Double red SD for 2K.

Yep, you're going to fit right in here with the rest of us crazies.

JJ, go here to watch the time pass until you sell the Breitling to finance the Sub.

Looks like I've got the GMT pretty much wrapped up thanks to some help from Rev. but the Explorer 1 is really catching my eye. I'd like to try for that by summer.

That reminds me of lotto balls dropping out of their cage during a draw. Given the randomness of JJ's choices, I think it's rather apt.

None to show yet. I talked to a great AD that Rev refered me to. He gave me a great price, but he has non in stock. He expects some in the next week or two. The wait is killing me but the price is worth it. he's putting the first one on the side for me. As soon as he calls I'll be bringer her home!

TT Yachtmaster with the grey or slate dial. What a beauty !! Will make a fine addition to my 16610. However if Rolex comes out with a maxi dial submariner, that will be my next choice.

Hmmmmmmm. I'm thinking along the lines of a Sub. That white dial EXP-II is starting to look good though. Are they cheaper than a Sub? Man I need some help with this disease.

No more Rollies for me. At least not unless a 14060M just falls in my lap for not alot. I really have all the ones I want and am more interested in German brands now.

Its either a 14060M or a 16570 havent decided on the dial colour yet, but probably black since its a tool watch and I prefer the lighter coloured dials on my dress watches.
