I hate you people!

I hate you people!
Last month my wife bought me a Sky Dweller. My first Rolex.
Now, I was never a watch guy but I signed onto these forums
to learn how to care for this thing.
Reading through all these post and seeing all of your interesting pics, I kept telling myself, No! not me. I’ll never make a hobby of watch collecting. There are too many more important things to do with my time and money. Well, Having been a Rolex owner and forum member for less than two months, I just found a stainless Daytona which I’m to pick up Friday.
Having nailed that watch down, I’ve just spent most of this morning researching GMT’s.
I know it’s not fair to blame you guyS, but I HATE YOU PEOPLE!

Prepare to hate yourself when you are stuck deciding which watch to wear.

I'll save you some years of researching and money. Sell all of them, buy a Sub Ceramic date(doesn't matter the color) Done. That is it. Back to the basics.

Option 2 if the above is too simple, buy a Sub and the most iconic chrono, the omega speedmaster master MOTM.

GMTs are great! Such a great complication with great history to match. Check out this gem found at an antique roadshow https://youtu.be/li0mRLcGbU8
