My Rolex Collection
All four are in my opinion pretty different from each other, so I love all four... but I have to say that my favorite has to be the Daytona since it was my grail watch for a few years before I received it last year. The Sub-C was a gift from my wife, the Daytona a gift from my in-laws as a wedding gift, and the DJ was a gift from my parents when I graduated college a few years back. All have a special meaning to me :).
I really wish Rolex would put anti-glare on their crystals... they are quite hard/annoying to photograph because of the reflection. Onto the photos... the first few were taken with a point-and-shoot and the rest were taken with an DSLR. |

That is a great collection you have put together. You didn't say how you acquired the GMTII-C...the others had nice stories.

Glad to see that some people actually read the texts . The GMT I got for myself 2 years ago (my second watch after the DJ) when I decided I needed a sporty Rolex in my collection since the only other Rolex I had was a DJ which I consider to be dressy.

Nice! To me, it is very meaningful to have a story on each watch. You will never forgotten the story when you look at the watch, just like myself.
