Priority: EXII Polar /Green Sub/Wait

Since new line of Rolex just went out of my comfort zone, I am going for the classic.

I am sure I will have both when I can. Help me sort out the priority here.

1)EXPII Polar first
2)Green Sub first
3)Wait right there.. more discount is on the way due to the economic climate.

I love picture, please post your EXII Polar and LV.

Here is my current..







Thanks!

I think your collection covers all bases. If it were me, I'd be happy with those 3. But between the 2 choices you mentioned, I'd go for the Explorer II.

I'd go with the green Sub. The polar is easier to find.

That's very strong point, make me thinking that I should find something else. Maybe Panerai

Go with the LV first since it might become limited soon and people may look to hold onto these. Many ExpII out there for you.

Nice collection, I think you have your bases covered. Have you thought about some yellow gold? Maybe an exp I, kinda small but an understated classic. Of the 2 you mentioned, I'd go with the Exp II, I am not a fan, but different than what you already have.

Based on your collection so far, I'd go for the Explorer II.

I picked up a non-Rolex watch late last year and am now itching for another Rolex! Diversification amongst brands can be a distraction sometimes

The White Exp 2 would fit nicely into your collection, IMO.

Go with Explorer II. The LV is too similar to what you already have.
