Hi Guys,

I recently sold my LV and planned to use the money wisely, however as predicted I missed Rolex so much!!

I tried these 3 on..............here were my thoughts :

**2 tone Sub - looks amazing, nice colours, benefit of having gold. But PCL arent my favourite and it was £3k more expensive

**GMT2 - nice splash of colour on the dial with the green GMT hand and felt solid but lacked Glidelock and the bezel looked busy

**Sub C - Loved the classic look and glidelock

Went for the 11610LN....just couldnt resist it, and love it

(PS Keep trying to upload photos, but this site always tells me the size is wrong, I have tried gif, jpeg, gif....so gave up!!)

Here's an excellent little tool for resizing photos and other tasks. It's good for when you want to attach a photo from your hard drive.

Photobucket is as simple to use for most uploading needs and you can resize photos and perform other editing tasks, too. You only need post the link to the picture.

Nice choice. I got one about a month ago. I thought about the LV but the green isn't the best for a daily wearer and looks funny with a suit. I have a DSSD but was really tired of it being my daily watch. You will be very happy.

WTF....DUDE, gots to be havin PICS !!!

Congrats
