When I was practicing law, my daily wearer was an 18k President. Eventully my lifestyle changed and so did my taste in watches so I sold it about six years ago.
Now at age 64, I am technically "retired" but pastor a church, serve as a hospice chaplain, and teach at a local college. My watches are the only hobby I seem to have time for anymore. My search for a GMT to fill a niche in my collection resulted the acquisition of my new "M"/3186 Explorer II, the one and only Rolex in my stable. Fr. John+ |

New guy!
Hi everyone. Im new and this is my first post. My name is Jay, I live in MA, and I just received a rolex daytona from my company as a reward.
I do not know how to work the 3 subsidiary dials. I can set the time and wind the watch, however, There are 3 subdials, at 3 oclock it has 30 units, at 6 oclock it has 60 units, and at 9 oclock it has 12. Im guessing this is for hours, minutes and seconds? How do I activate these? if i unscrew the two knobs on the top and bottom and press them, i can get the "30" dial to move, and the other button I can get the "12" dial to move... I cant get the second to move and Im not sure what purpose these have. Anyone? |

I'm a partner in a venture capital firm. I've been interested in watches for many years, but never really owned them. For reasons I'm still unsure of it became a passion a couple of months ago, and I've built the collection in my sig during that period. Ordinarily by this time of year I'm spending all my free time on my motorcycles, but we've had a long, cold winter, and riding season was delayed, probably leading to temporary(?) displacement by this watch obsession. In other words, a couple of extra months of snow and cold temperatures have proved very expensive for me...
