But, with a black overlay, the chances are Rolex could probably crush a solid red on a Coke, unlike the technical balancing act needed on the Pepsi. Personally, I prefer the batch variations on the Pepsi, as it gives each watch some uniqueness and charm as well as a more "artisanal" feel even if it isn't necessarily true.

OP - Would love to see your other watches in the collection too.

A couple of my pieces in my EDW rotation. The other side of my collecting is mostly around older military pieces like IWC, Smiths, Bulova etc.

I left with no expectations on if/when I'd ever get a call, but was over the moon when I did.
Congrats on that score... That sounds so true of your good honest conversation with your SA. They know how to judge and qualify people, its just part of what they do. Those dudes who were demanding to 'get to the top' asap are going nowhere I'd bet.. Anyway, Welcome to the club, Im loving my Blnr as well... Enjoy that Beauty!!...
