I want to buy another watch but.....

I would have to take off my Submariner Date to wear it and I don’t want to do that. This is a legit problem. This watch has killed my collection.

I completely understand. I felt that way about my YMII until just about 5 minutes ago. I feel like I can now put it rotation with my other favorites.

That’s a perfect daily! Maybe you’re a bonafide one watch guy!

It's a great feeling to find "the one".

Can you expand on why you prefer it over the BLRO?

Get a gold sub. Now you'll have a casual sub and a fancy sub and never have to take the sub off ;)

I couldn’t get a perfect fit on the BLRO jubilee bracelet and although it is a beautiful watch I find myself preferring the more rugged and robust nature of the Submariner. My father claimed ownership of my BLRO when he noticed I was wearing the Sub 24/7. True story haha

I “suffer” from the same problem. It gets about 75% wrist time.

It's a near perfect watch for sure but it's nice to have variation. Best watch Rolex makes in my book. It's nice to know I already own my favorite watch and everything from now on is a bonus.

Very jealous of that BLRO though.

Then you are no longer a collector. Just a guy who owns a watch. That’s okay

I like the idea of one watch but I also like having some different color dials that dress well with other colors. Sweet piece man!

I completely understand. I have others, but my 16610 gets 99% of the wear. Enjoy it!

Great watch!!
I
Like this one as well but right now I’m just being to cheap to add this one. I just added the 2 tone to tide me over. I like to trade up on expensive watches. My
Mi d had a mental block over watches over 20k. So when I had my dd40 I had traded up from a dd36 so it didn’t feel like I was spending 26k at one time proselytizing do the same with my 2 tone someday trade up to solid gold.
