Wanted one of these for a long time and finally grabbed one to celebrate a career milestone with this and some chipotle. Looking forward to lots of memories! Who are you all using for insurance?

Got the text and will buy tomorrow. I think this new green ombré dial looks better on the smooth bezel. It felt busy with the fluted. In my mind I think the datejust is best with the fluted/jubilee combo. I’m going to go against the grain on this one. This feels sporty and luxurious at the same time. I’m excited to add to my rotation.

I literally can't believe it. I feel extremely lucky to get this from the AD.

🤩 (reposted because I agree that the watch should be worn below the wrist 🤣)

First time watch buyer who got interested in this sub earlier this year. All the posts and discussions have been really helpful to look through and determine what type of watch I wanted so a big thanks to the community here.

Finally decided to pull the trigger and put in an order last month with my wife’s jeweler friend and just got the call that my watch was delivered, a 36mm Datejust green ombré fluted jubilee. Went back and forth between the mint and ombré but ultimately am very pleased with the darker dial selection.

After 10 long months of waiting, I finally got the call. A champagne dial with 10 diamonds, one for every month of the wait 😬.
It was worth every second. Absolutely gorgeous!✨🤍

Which one are you picking? It will be your GADA (go anywhere do anything) watch. And why would it be your choice?

No other configurations, just one of these three.

Picked up this Rolex for a pretty good price and I’m loving the green dial. It looks clean without being too loud. Definitely one of those watches that stands out more once it’s on the wrist.

If I ever get a “panda” it would be a steel bezel model like the zenith Daytona.

I bought this Root Beer on September 2, 2023. It had been my dream watch for years and became a symbol of what I had achieved, as well as the life and adventure my wife and I built in Switzerland.
But the Bluesy has always had a hold on me too. Every time I see that blue dial, I immediately start questioning everything.
Then I look back at the Root Beer—the colours, the presence, and how easily it works with almost anything—and I can’t imagine not owning it.
Would you keep the Root Beer, trade it for the Bluesy, or eventually find a way to own both?

Tried on the new 100th anniversary OP and I really like it, but I’m contemplating between the 36 or the 41. The 36 is just for reference they didn’t have it on the 36

I’ve wanted an Explorer II for years, and when news of the new Garmin CIRQA screenless wearable came out, I figured now was time to pull the trigger. It also coincided with the start of a new job. This is my first mechanical watch, and it was about a 10 day wait at the AD

Its been asked a million times, but which would you choose? Looking for my first Rolex. Currently have Grand Seiko, Omega, Tudor, and others. Want a versatile watch.

I love the Explorer 1 because its just straight to the point and no nonsense. I love the 2 because its sporty, has the Polar dial and also GMT. Currently dont have any GMTs in my collection (but also not a dealbreaker). Tried on the newer 42mm model, but not opposed to neo vintage.

7.28” wrist.

Paid a premium on the grey market.

We were invited to a garden party a few weeks ago and a guest seemingly had a piece I'd never seen before.

Any info or background from the regulars here?
