Rolex vs Rolex!!

Hi guys,

How often do we find ourselves pitting one Rolex against another?

I find myself comparing Bluesy and Platty side-by-side all the time....weighing up the pros and cons of one against the other.

Healthy competition, I call it.....Rolex vs Rolex!!

Cheers - JJ

I am in the same boat, now trying to decide each day which to wear: Sub Date vs. GMT IIc. Early on, it was the GMT. Lately, it's the Sub. But it is a win-win battle for me!

just one time TTGMTIIC vs BLUECY and I decided to go with TTGMTIIC which is simply so young and is a 21.century watch in every way.

I only have 1 Rolex, so I don't have that problem
Good thing because I'm always running late for work and don't have time to argue with myself every morning

What I don't understand is: why? Unless you are in the process of deciding to sell one of course.

Same here!

Also I think that the two Rolex watches I have (SS GMT IIc + SS Daytona) are so different that you cannot compare them. This also makes for a nice, versatile "collection", both in terms of function and form (looks).
