I’m on a roll with the old Rolex thing at the moment.  This one I rarely wear, and it’s the younger of the old Rolex that I own.  Yet it’s approaching 20 years.  

I need to resize the bracelet, my wrist is far skinnier than it was years ago.

Thanks. The Kermit green I love.

Especially under some early morning sunshine.

I debate this often.

No question a keeper, but I struggle with the fact that while I want to have it I don’t wear it. But when I do wear it, I love it! (I feel like I just said the same thing about another watch very recently).

I completely understand your predicament …

Part of the pleasure for me is reconnecting with old favourites I’ve owned for years and then deciding to give them a few days in the sunlight ;-))

Similar for me Jay.

Love the watch but wear it less than others. Why? It's valuable, crime in my area, a little bolder than other 5-digit steel models. How about you?
