Hi, first post.

I've just added a Rolex SubC 116610ln to my collection. In truth, the watch I always aspired to. However, I've worn the Breitling Chrono Evo for 4 years now and I think it is simply a different kind of watch.

Why Breitling? I worked in football, am quite showy and very much enjoyed the slightly (and I hate this word) bling it added to what was a classic professional time piece.

However, you get a little older, you go a little greyer, and your styling becomes slightly less flash. This is where the Rolex comes in. Beautiful, understated, but still oddly eye-catching. You simply never miss a wrist adorned by one. It does though, retain an elder statesman gravitas that is, in my opinion unmatched.

I loved my Breitling, and still do, but Rolex is the watch you always want to end up with, whatever you wear on the way.

I will still wear it, but collecting your Rolex, is just one of those moments.

The crown is well deserved...
