Finally have a Rolex again!!

I used to own a SS GMT, TT Submariner and a WG Daytona but I sold them to finance other interest.

I finally decided to buy a 16610 submariner because it is simple and I thought the older submariner would look best when wearing suits which I wear everyday at work.

Now I want to buy the new GMT Pepsi to complement my sub. :) :)

Here are the pics of my new sub. Hopefully I made the right decision!!

Excellent decision for re-entry! Congrats and enjoy! I’d be hot after the GMT, if I were you, too. Just gonna have to be patient. And you have a classic to enjoy while you search.

I’m new to Rolex ownership but whenever I think of the brand to design models come to my mind. The Sub and the DJ. Gmt Pepsi comes 3rd.
Your decision is perfect, combining the sub with the gmt makes a great combo. I’ve done nothing he same.
