...it’s perfect 😃

IlikeSubs · 19 January 2018, 08:55 AM

Looks like an old 6200 sub from the 1950s, it just needs a different bezel.

para38super · 19 January 2018, 08:56 AM

Stunning! I am sure it makes a good pair with your Submariner.

I am debating between an Explorer and a Datejust 41 as my second Rolex.

wach16 · 19 January 2018, 09:20 AM

Looks great!

brandrea · 19 January 2018, 09:21 AM

Yes it’s great and I’ve also had my eye on one. Congratulations

Brenngun · 19 January 2018, 09:34 AM

Explorer is a great reference. Congrats and enjoy it.

TickTockChuck · 19 January 2018, 10:30 AM

Indeed! A Rolex (1016) Explorer was the choice of Ian Fleming. Wear it in good health. Cheers!

SemperFi · 19 January 2018, 10:32 AM

I agree Gordon. It’s the perfect watch.
Congratulations!

mtgjr · 19 January 2018, 10:38 AM

Great watch. We gave my son a "birth year" 14270 for HS graduation last year. Of course, I get to look after it for him while he's away at college!

run23 · 19 January 2018, 10:43 AM

Great watch. I’ve had my eye on one for a while now. Just can’t seem to pull the trigger as the 214270 keeps nagging me a bit too.

DoctorA · 19 January 2018, 10:45 AM

Ckngratulatikns! I love the simplicity of this watch

Justinmg · 19 January 2018, 10:50 AM

Yep perfect!

watchwatcher · 19 January 2018, 10:51 AM

Congrats!

HobokenRolex · 19 January 2018, 10:58 AM

Congratulations on a great pickup. I wear mine probably more than any other watch. It's my go-to "work watch" during the week.

kilyung · 19 January 2018, 11:02 AM

I really do need to get a 214270 someday soon.

JacksonStone · 19 January 2018, 11:19 AM

Congrats on a classic piece. (If I didn't need a date feature, I would have gotten its modern counterpart the second it became available.)

kneedeep · 19 January 2018, 11:32 AM

Great watch, speaks for itself. A watch I sold that I would own again. Congrats!

drm20 · 19 January 2018, 12:39 PM

Those are really starting to grow on me!

Justindo · 19 January 2018, 12:40 PM

The Explorer and the Submariner make a great pair!

tritium8 · 19 January 2018, 01:01 PM

Great pic and great watch!

ajas · 19 January 2018, 01:04 PM

Great watch. Great pair.

Classic time piece

Bond,JamesBond · 19 January 2018, 09:19 PM

Thanks all - the story behind the watch is that I put £300 into crypto currencies back in August and by early January they equalled £3500. Obvious solution was to crystallise the gains into a sweet sweet timepiece.
