Finally picked up my second Rolex after 9 years
After owning my explorer II for about 9 years, I finally picked up my second Rolex. I have been wanting a 2-tone submariner for a while , but I was having a hard time choosing between the black or the blue. I am glad i picked the bluesey, the blue and gold just look too good together.

Congrats on the new watch. I would have gone for the Bluesy too so good choice.

I also love your ExpII. It's a great watch and still looks fantastic 9 years later. It's a timeless piece.

Wow...a lot of water has gone under the bridge (in my watch world) in the last 9 years. We won't go there, though, this is about you.

One of, if not the best modern references, IMO. Congrats!
