However, I think that will change soon...

Hardly ever wear the GMT II 116718 and Milgauss... the polished centre links drive me nuts!

Besides, although I've always wanted a gold Rolex, I found out that it's simply "too much" in most situations...

The Milgauss GV is a beautiful and special Rolex but I feel it must go for something more toned down, too.

LOVE my new SDC... can't see myself flipping it anytime soon!

The 14060M? Great classic Rolex but do I really "need" too diver's watches?

Miss my Explorer II 216570 white dial badly... really loved the size and proportions and the ultra legible dial... So I just might flip all three and get a 216570 again... together with the SDC imho it would make a perfect combo.

fmc000 · 16 May 2014, 06:02 PM

All I can say is that the 718 is gorgeous. IMHO, if I had one to let go in your collection the 14060M would be the first in line.

Ah, by the way, nice collection you have! A Daytona or a DJ II TT will be my next choice (or a Pt DD II, but we're on another level).

Andad · 16 May 2014, 06:11 PM

Hi Bo,

How are you?

Nice 116718, you should wear it more often.

steveclocks · 16 May 2014, 06:19 PM

No matter how you'll change your collection in the future, I like what you have now.

Sell the YG GMT and Milgauss then buy the BLNR and a SubC bracelet for it...problem solved!!

Cru Jones · 16 May 2014, 06:26 PM

Sometimes change for change is good. But, wow, what a threesome you have right now.

If you're ready for a change, go for it!

Lol-x · 16 May 2014, 08:38 PM

Judging by the new SD you have been active lately

I prefer the 18K SubC myself, you always need a gold Rolex

I would say goodbye to the Milgauss (although I do think it is a very cool quirky but cool model) and the 16610 Sub.

Then you could find room for something else....say a Patek Aquanaut???? Yes!!!

I thought I "needed" the 116718... turned out I really didn't.

It's not a watch I could ever pull off wearing at work... and when in town for a beer I feel everyone is looking at my gold Rolex. Some Rolex owners might find that flattering but as far as I'm concerned it's the opposite... it makes me feel uncomfortable.

I've learned that "under the radar" Rolex watches are more my cuppa...

Might keep the gold GMT, Milgauss GV and 14060M for a little longer, though... I am not in financial need to sell them and think it's best to wait for the price increased that's rumoured to come soon in order to get a little more back on my "investment"........

swatty · 16 May 2014, 08:50 PM

I'm the same with gold watches Bo , I've had couple but just don't wear them

Chris B · 16 May 2014, 09:10 PM

Very nice indeed Bo

mailman · 16 May 2014, 11:36 PM

Very nice collection Bo

Vipes · 16 May 2014, 11:45 PM

Nice collection! How about flipping for a wg sub or the new wg gmt? More under the radar. Then you would have an awesome duo with the SD-C.

Should I go the precious metal route again and spend that kinda money, I'd love to have a WG Pepsi, but I think I will stick to good old SS in future...

Have some therapy, do some chants but get over your pcl phobia as that GMTc is stunning and you want to enjoy that bad boy more! You'll regret it when its gone...

Beef · 17 May 2014, 12:34 AM

Great collection, Bo! I don't know what you will ultimately do, but if history does repeat itself, you'll flip something soon! I'd love to know your total "flip count." I wish I could do that, but I get too attached.

Just kidding Bo. I see you started in 1989 and not that much flipping in a single year. Nice you kept track of all.

Nice collection Bo - another 216570 would slot in there perfectly!

This is a nice collection of watches with the variety that makes sense. Try find situations to wear the YG. I would love to rotate a Milgauss with the Sub.

congrats on the new SDc

agree on those two being a very perfect combo

psv · 17 May 2014, 12:54 AM

No Deepsea? :-)

C-Dweller and Exp42 Polar makes for a great combo, IMO. And then add a DSSD but one shouldn't live without domed crystal!

Mr Daytona · 17 May 2014, 01:02 AM

I think you only need the Sea Dweller. Sell the rest and send me 10% for my advice.

andyol1966 · 17 May 2014, 01:02 AM

Another vote for the CDweller and Exp42 polar - that will be my two when the CDweller arrives
