I've had a 116610ln and I didn't like it
Now I only have one Rolex, and I think that it's here to stay: 😍 ...

You have a diverse collection and whatever you choose it’s always a pleasure to view.
As for Apple and other smart watches..
In my chosen pastime, old man rowing, I am the only one in our regular crew not relying on a watch to check if their heart is still functioning properly. Lack of breath and sweat still work for me. 😉

It represented my first foray into Rolex and the culmination of a dream after being bombarded with explorer II pics from Time and Newsweek during high school. It was heavily used, seen a lot of travels, etc. So I thought that moving it along was never goi...
A very lovely one indeed! Interestingly one of my first rolex gifted from my dad some 30 years ago was an explorer which I sold. It is in part because of these memory that today
I decided to own both the black and white dial in the current version….cheers
