Incoming- First post and first Rolex

After considering all options and developing a relationship with my local AD, I’ve finally pulled the trigger at MSRP. Most versatile watch I could find. It was either this or the Submariner. Was looking for something I could wear in shorts or in a tux.

Personal preference had me leaning more towards the polished links, so here we go...

That is one sharp watch. Enjoy the hell out of it.

You couldn't go wrong with either the Sub or GMT and it all comes down to which one speaks to you.

And welcome to the club.

Great choice! In many ways, this is my favorite GMT. I really like the subtle green accents. And, I think you are right, it is more versatile than the Sub.

Congratulations! And welcome to the Forum!

Cheers,
Carl

Yeah, hey, uh, sorry but no, you can't wear that with shorts. You'll need to go buy that sub.



Heh heh, yes, I keed, that's a great choice, congrats!
