I have a problem

I have some spare cash budgeted... I'd like to purchase another Rolex.

Went to the AD today, tried several different Rolexes on. Explorer II white and black, Yacht-Master, Submariner 16610 and the new GMT IIc. I even tried the blue Sub on... I thought I'd like to purchase 16613 again.

But I have a problem. None of them sang to me like this. :thumbup:

Thanks JJ old pal!

So... looks like you have three in your collection now.

JJ quote from 2004 (or so) about TT blue YM:

"I will never, ever sell this beauty... this the one and only!"

After that you've had what... 10 Rolexes?

Thanks guys.

I used to own a 16613. I love the Sub but if I were getting a SS model, I'd get the no-date. Hmm... that's one watch to consider. I love the clean, slender lines of the no-date and that's actually how Subs originally came... without the date.

Sub date is my favorite, but I also have the Pepsi GMT and it is a favorite. Either way, you won't be dissapointed.

The no date is FAB. It's just handy to have the date! Another reason to look at the watch!

The red and blue bezel insert is the definitive look for a GMT!!!! You should jump in with both feet.
