Icon2 I made my choice
I really gave this one a lot of thought and waited for the right one to come by.

A lot of members put their valued advice for this one

Ok. I made my choice purely for aesthetic reasons. This watch embodies what Rolex makes best, sports watches in stainless steel. It took me a while to find the right new one with the right price.

Apologies for the low quality iphone pics, and thank you for your positive comments guys
