Patek meets Rolls-Royce
At a wedding yesterday...

Brand new buyer a little disappointed
Long story short I have always wanted a Rolex and years ago saw and decided the hulk was going to be it for a number of reasons. Bought a house first, zero debt. Saved and saved got married, had a kid and life happened. Got caught up again, saved some more and it was finally time. Grabbed the cash and went to the distributor after doing some research on various ones. I show up cash in hand and proudly ask for my watch! As you all know they said that it is not available but they can put me on the list. No clear answer to when. A little disappointed I drive to a few other places only to hear the same thing. My question or comment would be watch enthusiasts know there is a shortage, the general public does not. It's a luxury item that is supposed to be a experience. Trying on watches, getting it fitted and finally buying the watch. The shortage doesn't make me want it more it's made me rethink if I truly want it. My wife wanted to surprise me and see if she could get it and she basically

Daytona taking centre stage...
Despite being flanked on each side by a watch that I think is arguably the best looking ever made, the Daytona still manages to look incredible and fully warrants being front and centre.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Explorer 214270 bracelet on BLNR?
I tried doing a search but couldn't find any results: does anyone know if the Explorer 214270 bracelet fits on the GMT ii BLNR?They're both 20mm and look the same. It would be awesome to be able to store the PCL bracelet away, put on the brushed Explorer bracelet, and just put a strap on the Explorer :)Thanks!

Kids are funny
A few months back, my wife and I took our 10yr old son with us to our local Jeweler /AD to get a necklace fixed. Instead of my son following his mother to the jewelry counter, he walked over to the Rolex display and picked out what appeared to be a two tone woman's Datejust... Not knowing, he was under the assumption that the smaller watches were made for kids.After shaking my head l, laughing, and saying no, He also told me that he had 5th grade school pictures coming up and he wanted to have one of his own to wear... Again, after laughing even harder, I had to tell him that he will have to earn his own one day, but for now he needs to stick with his digital Casio.... Some of the things we see and hear as parents are priceless, as is the perspective of a child.
