Kevin - you are my GMT-Master icon, you can change GMT-Masters, but please don't change models!

I don't want another watch, but I'll get one if you abandon the GMT-Master...




(It's probably a better haven than American currency anyway...)

I went in to the Rolex dealership today in Johannesburg. The guy tried to convince me that this Tudor was for me. It was nice (apart from the strap), but no.

So I stuck to my guns and ordered an Explorer 1, 40mm, I think that ticks all the boxes. He will try to find a buyer for my GMT Master11.

DuMouchelles has some decent prices on some classics. This is a legit auction house.

 

[Safari Dave]

No Kevin,

Nooooo......

We, hard-earned, Rolex dudes have got to stick together.

My dad didn't sell tractor parts and my mom didn't make zippers for decades just to see their efforts tossed to the wind for anything less.


The Explorer is really nice.





Kudos!

Great choice Kevin !

If that is your wrist, that watch looks at home there. Good choice!

No not my wrist

The earlier one comes in a 36mm face, the current one is a 40mm.

Kevin, The Rolex Explorer 1 and the Submariner No Date are no frills and straight to the point watches, that look great!

Congratulations and enjoy!

I have owned a 1680 Red Submariner since 1971 as a combat SF Officer in Vietnam.
Many have forgotten that Hans Wilsdorf, founder of Rolex, in the wartime POW camps arranged
watches for imprisoned RAF officers held by the Reich. Paid back after the war. That is reason enough for combat veterans. A NATO band will retain your watch even better than the OE stainless band with spring bars. One lost spring bar at night or over deep water...adios favorite watch. Get a NATO or 2
and relax deep in the salt water...next to the mature 30-something holding your drink.

Sorry, apparently I need to proof read my post. Here is the correct picture of a Rolex Submariner No Date.

Congrats and nice piece.

I’ve been wearing ol reliable the past week or so. I haven’t been hunting but I have caught a few walleye with it on if that counts. I guess I shot a starling trying to roost in my soffit too so maybe it does count.

I have a 14060M. 2-Liner. I love the minimalist approach to the old subs.

@CJW - Not sure I follow. I see the Top Time B01 Racing, but don't understand the "Martini" reference. Can you elaborate please?

 

[CJW]

They must not have gotten the licensing to use the Martini name on the dial but did use the colors.
