Chris in England
Hi Guys. First of all great website, always something interesting to read on what is a fabulous subject. I've wanted a Rolex since I was a kid and last year bought my first; a 50th Aniversary green dial sub from my AD in Worcester. I've worn it pretty much every day for over a year now and it never fails to delight. I work as a designer and iconic design is something that never goes out of style, whether it be a car, an item of clothing, a piece of furniture or a wrist watch. The Submariner is an iconic watch, probably the most recognised in the world and what a joy to wear. Problem is what do I get next? Having bought a Rolex nothing else will do. There are plenty of great watches out there but somehow they don't have the attraction of a Rolex to me. It'll have to be a Daytona I think or maybe a GMT or maybe a Deep Sea! What a problem! Does anyone have an opinion on which models pair together the best? A sub for the day time and a daytona for the evening perhaps??

I think you will see a lot of guys (and gals) here who have a Sub and a
DateJust, seems to go well, one for sport and one for dress/sport. |

Hard to go wrong my friend. I really do not think there is a wrong answer to this question - well, the Leopard Daytona would be a bad move.... Anyway, welcome to TRF!

Hi Chris
I would endorse what Thomas has said about a Sub and a DJ complementing each other well as both allow you to ring the changes from professional to "semi-dress". Other than that its a question of whatever takes your fancy. I have a Sub and a DJ on the way but I am also hankering after a GM II c. This has the benefit of being a very recently updated model with ceramic dial and, I think, the blue Parachrom hairspring (others will correct me if I am wrong on this). And its looks are classic Rolex - that would certainly be a good choice. Welcome to the Forum - it's a great place to hang out.

Welcome to the Forum! That's a big question, I suggest you hang around a bit, gather some information and go from there. Good Luck.

Good Day/G'day Chris
A no date Sub might be a nice pairing with your LV. The black bezel is probably a tad more versatile in terms of wardrobe matching. Possibly a good time to pick one up, with a new SS Sub arriving in maybe the next year or two... Cheers

Thank you all for the warm welcome, looking forward to some serious cyber Rolexing...in the coming months. At the moment I think the GMT is just about ahead on my wish list...it's my birthday in a couple of months...so look out wallet, get the body armour on because you could be in for a bit of a battering! Cheers for now guys..

Welcome Chris
Have you looked at vintage Rolex - say a bubbleback or even older. That could double up as a dress watch also. Owning a vintage Rolex singles you out as a watch connoisseur you know !!  regards Tim |
