Current Collection...
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.

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). |

Hi Bo,
How are you? Nice 116718, you should wear it more often.

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!!!

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"........

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...

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.

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.

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! |

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