New Addition
Hey all, still in Hawaii,(what a place!). Anyway,took Tom's(KansaiVet) advice and stopped in the Rolex stores on Waikiki. Found a little something I thought interesting
 Nice price, great people to deal with, and shipping back to the mainland saved tax.  More to follow...... Oh, by the way the 116710 so far has been snorkeling and kayaking. What a GREAT travel companion!!

Glad to hear it.. I'm sure you needed something fresh...
My 16710 has been in the water off Maui a few times.. I think it likes it there.. Be safe..

Did some one mention Waikiki? When I was there, I missed my home.
 Now, I kinda miss it again. It has been so long now (three months ago). And, that was the place I got my SS Daytona.You are right, just pay $45 for shipping and pay no tax. Well, I will be there to see my favorite sale lady in about 6 weeks. But, first I have to suffer for five weeks of training class in east coast. (two week in Fort Lauderdale , and three week in Wallop Island, VA  )

I agree with Nikh, he got a white Milgauss to keep the black one company.
As we all know, Mike likes to have spares of the same reference.... that's my 1/50th of a dollar.

Thanks guys.
This really is a paradise!!LOL! Not a Milgauss (though I did ask about a GV as well as a SS Daytona )This one is a bit more pedestrian, though it has features I really like in a working watch.

Sounds like a great trip, Mike! Nothing like a little warm paradise in the dead of winter.
Look forward to seeing what you got.

My guess is a COSC non-date Submariner, and that is damn near the only Rolex I don't know you have given your tastes and preferences.
Otherwise, given your tastes you might have just gone for the YM-II, I know you love the clown look
