finally pics of my new rollex's,sub/gmt pepsi/expy II

i finally learned how to post pics and now the long awaited pics of my very recent purchases.i bought the sub and gmt in febuary and the expy II this past tuesday.all came new in the box from my ad.the gmt pepsi is being worn by my dad,he bought it from me and doesn't take it off his wrist.i recently bid and won a jubilee bracelet for the pepsi,my dad likes that look.i really love my sub,can't take my eyes off it.the polar expy is not smiling at me though,i think i'm going to sell it.

Terrific collection!

I'm kinda sad to hear you want to let the Explorer II go.

IMHO, it gives your collection great versatility.

But you could opt for a white faced Milgauss? Now that would be a nice addition!

What a fabulous collection. It sounds like you have a buyer for your Explorer here as well. That sure is a pretty watch. I'd look at it but my wife would shoot me.

Your photos are great for claiming that you are a beginner. The Black and white Sub picture is a piece of art.

jubilee arrived yesterday with 555 endlinks,i need to wait for 503b endlinks to make it fit.i ordered them from my local ad yesterday.i know i could have trimmed the 555's,but i don't have a dremel tool.they were only $27 bucks a piece from the ad.

Fantastic pics. Really cool that your dad loves the Pepsi so much--but what's not to love?

You and Karis should trade your Expy for her DJ.

Great idea, you get a white dial dress watch, she gets the Expy2 she wants!
