Submariner 116610 LN
...I liked it so much that I bought it, after years of reluctance to get a Sub (primarily due to the clasp design used on its predecessors) and prior ownership of, among others, 2 Omega Seamasters, 2 Omega Planet Oceans, 1 G.O. Sport Evolution Chronograph, 1 UTS 1000m v2 GMT an Ebel and a Ball Hydrocarbon.
It's the final terminus in my decades-long search for the perfect classic desk diver.

Which modern Rolex...
You guys think is best out there... There are many choices of Rolex watches offered - even many variant of submariner, different color of explorers and daytonas... But which one is your favorite and why? Best, Sam
OK....for me
Rasta Milgauss or Explorer 1. The Rasta because it is so quirky and fun, the Explorer 1 because it is just bullet-proof cool. If i could borrow a black-out Explorer 1, that would be my choice!
Both are such great pieces...
May I know more about the blackout Explorer 1? I've heard about it yet haven't heard details about the piece Best, Sam
Here's one!

Well as I got one last week.....
I have to say the new Submariner..!! You might find one or two pics in my gallery....I love the new case, bezel, and the bracelet with new glide lock clasp which is a thing of beauty in itself :) Obviously it's down to what you want it for and I also have...
Aha the new Submariner...
Ive been asking around for the no date version here I think would make a nice daily beater but now still impossible to find in Asia I like the GMT Master also but I find the bracelet too shiny Thanks for your thoughts Andy Sam

It's an absolutely classic piece
I think a must have watch for everyone Thanks Darien Sam
Like Baron, I would choose the Rasta Milgauss, OR
The Yachtmaster. I think the best choice is a different choice. Too many Subs or Dayto ( whch is also true for the Vintage, though! ). Yes, try to be different, try the Rasta Milgauss, or the Yachtmaster! You can't go wrong with any of these two. Best, Ni...
OR... come on do not be shy, we all know you're in love with
That black dial new Explorer II. and amongst your whys... it is simply a top everyday wear specially when life starts meeting with age... ;-)
Those 2 would be...
Nice choice for you as they're more like an evolution to their predecessor... So the Yachtmaster comes with a platinum / ss bracelet? Sam
Suggest the GMTII Ceramic or ref 116710LN.
If you are looking to get one, Sam. I just like the overall look of it and it's ease of function and practical side of it. It looks solid and nice rendition of the GMT, totally with modern approach and new materials. And the little green GMT hand over the...
That piece...
Certainly fits the criteria for an everyday wear... It got the look of the classic submariner, yet it has a useful GMT function on it... I really like the color... And yes I have the same complain as you... I don't like the polished bracelet on the modern...

Green crystal Milgauss. Tried one on recently at a Rolex boutique and its been hard to get out of my head. After that, the new Explorer. Even with the short minute hand, a great watch and a perfect case size.
I can sense a new direction ;)
I concur with the choice of Milgauss. GV or white dial would be a good choice regardless. Another favorite of mine is those racing dial from the WG Daytona. It would be perfect if we can get the SS model and purchase these dial separately and swap them :D...
Which direction you are sensing Tyler???
:)) It is gonna be towards that direction only I still don't know if I want to dive in to the world of vintage Rolexes.. The modern doesn't have such charm BUT they're a perfect tool watch... Very solid I've always been a fan of the racing dial WG Daytona...
Expensive? Maybe not a new direction yet. ;)
I thought you have your mind set for the vintage rolex, I might be wrong. As for the swapping the dial on the WG Daytona. I believe we can buy the dial are separately directly from rolex. I'm just not sure will Rolex sell them to a non WG Daytona owner. I...
Still have my mind set for it Tyler...
But at the same time also looking for some modern tool watch... I guess I have to be very patient if I want to get the right vintage Rolexes.. Because to me, it has to be a very special piece.. This will be a fun adventure I believe... I'm sure you're als...
According to my wife
it's this one by far ooopssss sorrry wrong picture :) this is right one and who is the man to oppose his wife? Best D ...
My 2 recent picks are the Sub and the Explorer II
The white gold bleu dial sub, I could not go passed that bleu dial sub, since I own it its colour continues to amaze me. The new Explorer II, a so easy everyday watch for me, a wink to the past, another wink to the future a great time teller and finally I...
Mind sharing some shot of the blue dial sub?
I kinda like the idea of using precious metal and different color scheme .. Just that I'm not sure if I can live with such color... The new explorer2 seems to be a nice choice POY.. I'm highly considering it... Which dial did you go for? Sam
Here some links and more imo :-)
Submariner wg bleu dial. Although I am with it vacationing I cannot upload newer images with my IPhone. I hope you do not mind me sharing photos from my old posts at least till I return back. However I can tell you that yes it is a difficult purchase but ...
Nice shot POY!
Thank you That's a lovely blue color... I hope you enjoy your vacation... I'm sure that watch gave you much pleasure!! Best, Sam
I know I will get killed....but the new EXP 2....
love the case (lugs v block lugs), and its everything you want in a tool watch... over engineered, almost brutal... exactly what u need in the Himalaya... :) Best Imran
I know I will get killed....but the new EXPLORER 2....
love the case (lugs v block lugs), and its everything you want in a tool watch... over engineered, almost brutal... exactly what u need in the Himalaya... :) Best Imran
That one I really like...
Seems that it's the only one that have a proportional lug size compared to the case and bracelet... Yes.. an overengineered watch for an every day wear... Great choice Imran Sam
That;s what my friends are telling me...
But I decided on a classic black dial instead... Maybe I'm a conventional type of person Sam
