1'000 posts-1st Rolex post-return to the big crown after 7Y-turning 40-becoming a father
All the above coincide in one post, strangely enough, and with my return to one of my seminal watches, the Sea-Dweller.
My love for another diver family is clear, but as I turn 40 and became a dad, I felt the need for a true, no-nonsense watch which means a lot to me. And that is the Sea-Dweller.
I let go 7Y ago the 16600 and now I felt like getting the 116600 would be a good way to return to the fold.
Will post more pics and impressions in the next weeks.
Finally, I am ashamed it took me so long to reach 1'000 posts in this fabulous community, but I hope to do more so in the years to come.
All the very best,
Alex
