Hello all. I just wanted to share with you guys a mini-dilemma I had for the past 2 weeks. Over the holidays I purchased an EXP II 16570. Considering its my first rolex, I loved it...but as time went by, my heart sang 16610 more. I was going back and forth on ideas to acquire a 16610. I can only get 1 watch for now so needless to say..i was lost on what to do..

until I talked to davidsw.. after back and forth email, I did the trade this week. Let me tell you, after I received the 16610, I didn't regret it! I absolutely love it!! Maybe one day, my expII will be back but for now this IS my watch..

.my obligatory before and after pics...

Classic Sub Date...what's not to love! Congrats!!

Actsulb · 12 January 2012, 01:40 PM

Congrats! They are both good choices, but since your heart was set on 16610 you made the right choice!

Trandy · 12 January 2012, 01:43 PM

I concur with my fellow Missourian....you just can't beat a Sub.

I like the sub! Good choice!

Tudor66 · 12 January 2012, 01:55 PM

Yes, I like your sub as well. You made the right choice....

You can pick up exp II for weekend wear at a later date, but take it from me, you absolutely must own a sub for daily wear...

Congrats...

Great story and trade my friend, the Submariner looks better than the Explorer-II to me, wear it in good health and without regrets!

Congrats man. I went through the same exact thing with the same exact watches. The whole time I had the Explorer II I was thinking about getting a Sub.
