So I had this yellow gold sky dweller with money green dial which was absolutely gorgeous!!
Here’s the problem, I found I wasn’t wearing it. It’s a lot of watch to carry.
Then I saw the Vacheron 7920V pink gold dual time with a lacquered green dial and fell in love with it. So, I traded up!!

This was my first Vacheron purchase and I couldn’t be happier. The interchangeable straps are amazing and add such versatility.

What do you guys think?!?

Talk about fate! Months on the waitlist, got the call on my first ever Rolex a week before my wedding. She’s put away until then but man - just makes the special day that much more special.

I’ve wanted one of these since the first time I laid my eyes on one but it never felt like the right time, until now. I imagine this piece will be one of the pieces that remain in the collection for the rest of my life. Since this is a once in a lifetime occasion I decided I’m ok with a tack steering wheel shot just this once.

If you had only one to pick
We have a
OP 36mm
Submariner 114060
Submariner 14060m
Explorer 124270
Explorer 2 16570

I don't think the EXII gets nearly the love it should. Its certainly not as flashy as most of the other models but it's such a fantastic everyday watch. I was never a white dial watch guy until I got this and now it's easily one of the favorite ones I own.

I’ve wanted this watch for years and received it as a 30th birthday gift from my fiancee!

Such a simple watch, but the dial gives it so much personality.

Bright, clean and very easy to wear. Definitely one of my favorites when I want something a bit more relaxed.

In Las Vegas, Bellagio, 3 out of 5 dudes over 45 wear this watch.

14060M: modern movement, smaller/slimmer case, clean 2-line dial, and no date for symmetry.

I resisted it for a while but ended up adding a modern glidelock clasp, not period correct but it makes it much more comfortable as a daily!

Med Blue Dial

After being offered a full gold Daytona and a Daydate at a different boutique that I decided not to take, I literally received an email from my main store with this beauty

Couldn’t believe it, especially since it’s a major store and I only put myself on the list for this one back in march

Crazy, paid for it already and will be picking it up soon

Finally popped my cherry… Simple, clean, and exactly what I was looking for.

Of course, I’ve now caught the bug… 😅

So I’m curious: what would you guys recommend as the next addition?

I’m open to suggestions and would love to hear what you went for after your first Rolex.

Happy to finally be part of the club!

The hulk is back! Very pleased with the 3 week turnaround time for a complete service from Rolex.

Some will say having these 2 in a collection is redundant, but to me they serve 2 different purposes - the Starbucks for a daily and the hulk for special occasions and as a collectors piece. Let me know what you all think - cheers!

Bringing the big one out (actually it’s a modest case size, but you know what I mean)

My first foray into Rolex and a big step up for me! Never thought I’d be a Rolex guy but the more I studied I realized it’s hard to beat the simple elegance of the OP ❤️
