Actually the Polynesian in Walt Disney World. My wife bought me this GMT roughly two months ago and Finally my 50'th birthday arrived today.
I really Love this watch it is the only Rolex ever made that fits me perfectly. No cheap clasps, no "so-so" bezel, the new case provides the weight the old Submariner never offered, the list go on and on. Only problem with this picture? I feel guilty and now gotta buy her a DJ ASAP.

Thanks all for the kind replies. I originally swore off Rolex for good due to several factors. Cheap bracelet and clasp, not enough presence, low budget bezel insert, weight of the Submariner didn't cut it etc. Quality did not justify price IMHO. I must say I am shocked that Every Single Detail that bothered me has been addressed by Rolex in this piece.
Frankly this is the only watch I ever owned that I don't look at and say "it is a nice watch but they should have done this or that. I wouldn't change a single thing.
I picked the Polynesian since the "kitchen table" was just too boring!

Singslinger · 23 October 2009, 08:32 PM

You look much younger than 50!

PS Nice watch too!
