I am making my way outside Rolex for something new so I decided to pick something up I have always admired from a distance. Debated on 42MM or 45MM, orange numbers or white numbers. NEVER entertained the orange bezel however. That's outside my comfort zone. Can't beat the price purchasing second hand especially considering how much I have spent on Rolex. So without further ado, say hello to my little 45MM friend......................

Dan2010 · 1 February 2012, 10:32 AM

And I do plan on picking up the black rubber band and the rubber band with orange stiching too!

HDHNTER · 1 February 2012, 10:35 AM

Didn't see that coming, very nice!

Mystro · 1 February 2012, 10:53 AM

Excellent choice. Do be surprised you find yourself wearing it more than your Rolex. The 45mm size just looks outstanding.

chicagofan · 1 February 2012, 10:54 AM

Congrats, Dan! Hope you didn't flip your Sub C.

What a day. Dino sells his LV C, and Dan buys another watch that's not a Rolex.

rfknauss · 1 February 2012, 10:56 AM

Very nice Dan!

I was surprised when I actually liked the 45MM better than the 42MM on the wrist. The 42MM seemed small even though its not.

warrior · 1 February 2012, 11:06 AM

fantastic looking watch. congrats!

karmatp · 1 February 2012, 11:09 AM

Enjoy it Dan, it is a great watch for sure. One thing that I like about many other brands divers over Rolex is the ability to throw on a nice rubber strap.

CDNWatchNut · 1 February 2012, 12:37 PM

Gotta love the PO

Congrats, it's a great watch.

I have a 42 orange/orange, and recently re-acquired a 45.5 black/white same as the one below (but this time with the 2500d) that I had let go after nearly 5 years, just last November...I guess I missed it after all.

Enjoy yours Dan

AAMD11 · 1 February 2012, 01:23 PM
