In a Pickle: Is a Tudor BB Necessary?
Hey guys, in a bit of a pickle right now and was hoping you guys could assist me with my conundrum.For some reason, I have been slowly gravitating towards a Tudor BB. The problem is, I already have a sub no date.This is a two part (maybe three) question.1. Is the BB a good compliment to the sub or is it too similar that i should just find another piece instead2. I found a good priced in house (not interested in the ETA variant) Tudor BB with the black bezel and faux aged lume BNIB but.... you remember when I said I was gravitating towards a Tudor BB? Well the model I've been lusting after is actually the one with the blue bezel and leather strap. I can't seem to find this one for a good price though. Should I suck it up and buy the pretty well priced brand new Black Bay w/ Black Bezel or is that just WAY too similar to the sub?3. This might have my thread removed, but can anyone recommend a good AD? I've been searching high and low but no luck in finding a good prices for the Blue var

My first Rolex - Datejust 41 - Complete U turn on the brand!
Very proud to say that I have my first Rolex :)It's been an odd journey to get me here. I spent years not caring for the brand at all, there wasn't a single piece that stuck out for me. The height of my collection has been around Omegas and Tags. Maybe once I became a little older and wiser, I started appreciated some models, specifically the Datejust 41 and BLNR. As time went on I started to like them even more, the beautiful subtleness of the DJ41, the detail and quality of the Oyster bracelet, the statement that is the bezel of the BLNR. It all just started to make sense why the brand is so highly regarded.I made the decision to go with the DJ41, Black, Smooth Bezel with Oyster. That configuration gives me exactly what I'm looking for in a watch at the moment. An all rounder, to be worn in and out of work, smart or casual. Anyway enough of my rambling! Here are some pics :)

SS Rolex Sports Watches Availability
Once upon a time you could find SS Sub's, Sub dates, GMT, Sea Dwellers and the like in AD windows and purchase over the counter as I'm lucky enough to have a SUB and GMT when you could. Are we now in an age where these will be like Daytonas and just not available to purchase in store going forward???

New first Rolex Rolex explorer 16570 ii
Got my first Rolex! It's a an 16570 explorer ii! It's from 2003, but it has never been worn and brand new in box so it's perfect condition and got a really good price for it too!The day after I went over to Barcelona and took a few pics ( my girlfriend is looking unimpressed as I've payed more attention to the new watch then her haha!)Really like it and also thinking of buying a spare black dial so I can change it around in the future too if I want!
