Buy the 16710. Everyone deserves a nice classic GMT.

Watches look great, congrats! I find myself identifying random events that need commemorating, like I just got a new job...go buy a new Rolex. Leaving my old job...go buy a new Rolex. Vacation is coming up soon...go buy a new Rolex. Would be cheaper to perhaps just get a bottle of wine instead! But much less fun.

Commemoration watches are the way to go, IMHO

Looking good! I'm sorry you were infected with a terminal disease. There is no cure for rolex disease. The only way to alleviate the symptoms is to buy another watch. Just remember it's not a cure, you will have to do this multiple times to keep the symptoms at bay.

I am currently in the "just one more" boat. I hope I stay satisfied for a good long while after I pick on one more!

I found the longer you go with out buying one the easier it is not to. That is until a WG Daytona comes along on an oysterflex strap!! 3 Years I lasted!!
