The Roly Trinity!

My humble three; The Flyer (1966), The Sub (1970) and The Roly Ghost (1990)!

I'm quite happy with these, and think I'm done...

PS I never call them 'Roly' - just had to use it for the pun

I have always considered the 3 professional watches as 'The Rolex Trilogy' the Submariner (first watch to be fully waterproof), the Explorer (first watch to the top of Everest and all extreme climates) and the GMT (first watch to display two time zones)

What do others think?

Nice watches by the way

Love it! My similar trio plus an interlooper before the GMT left (to help pay for the 1680).

Many thanks for the kind and positive comments, everyone!

Now my new mantra has to be: 'no more watches, no more straps'...

Say after me; 'no more watches, no more straps'... 'no more watches, no more straps'... 'no more watches, no more straps'... ... ahh... what's the use.
