My lucky day

Well earlier in the week my local AD called and said he he’d the white dial Daytona for me that I’d been waiting for for two years.
When I got there to collect they had a nice surprise waiting for me .
The Pepsi and the Gold Steel Root beer GMTs 👌🏻

I really need to slow down now on this Rolex collecting 🤨

Work in progress 😉
To be honest I’ve never really had a plan to collecting watches , I’ve just sort of picked them up along the way.
I know there are a few watches that are very similar but like I said it kind of just happens 😂

Dang!!!! That's awesome. How in the world do you pick which one to wear? I have three and change my mind 5 times before leaving the house each day. Which of these beauties gets the most wrist time? Which one gets the least?

An amazing Trifecta you have added. Very Nice My Friend! Only critique... no Rainbow Daytona. Place an order for that and you can be finished with Rolex for a bit.

I’ve only had the three new ones since Thursday and I’ve been wearing the Pepsi the most , today I’m wearing the Daytona but it kills me deciding which one to choose .
I had to go back to work in Abu Dhabi next week and have to decide which three to take
