New appreciation brushed CL vs PCL

[520lux]

Not sure if this is the right place but, if not could this thread please be moved.

So after acquiring a TTDJII and comparing to my explorer II (216570) I have a new appreciation for brushed center links.

When you are someone like me who is more than a little OCD PCL's can be a bit nerve-racking. I have come to the conclusion that I really need to focus on enjoying the watch regardless of scratches and trying to avoid them.

Where as brushed center links is so much easier to wear and scratches,... although are there,... blend in and are not as noticeable.

I took a vacation down to San Diego and took the kids to the Sea World. I wore my TTDJII and about half the day I spent baby-ing my watch and being extra careful not to bump it or scratch it. At one point I thought F$%# IT, I am here to enjoy time with my kids and enjoyed the rest of the day with them. After all its just a watch and can be repaired when needed.

With that said I still will do my best to take good care of it while not stressing about the little things and I have realized that I have a new appreciation of brushed CL and the simplicity of them.

For someone like me owning two ROLEX watches is a must. One with Brushed CL for more casual wear and one with PCL for those dressed up days.

I sold my 216570 to fund the 116333 and I have no regrets and absolutely love it however I thought owning one ROLEX was I wanted and now I know I will be buying the 216570 again in the near future.
