15703 out, 15710 in.
After a few years of ownership of the 15703, and long deliberation, I made the change. A bit goofy financially, but I'm loving the display back and the (less interesting but arguably cleaner looking) matte dial.

Just got my Chronomat GMT!
Very awesome watch. Very big. I am just barely able to pull it off and so happy that I could do so. I used to think my Panerai was a giant compared to my other watches and now this dwarfs it. Nice and heavy. Also great that it uses the same strap size as my Panerai since I have a bunch of extra straps sitting around.

Speedy '57 reference check
Anybody know what reference this 57 Speedy is? It looks like RG but it might be YG, anyway it's gorgeous...

Finally! My first PAM!
PAM321 - Thanks again to DsvidSW! Picked up a new rubber strap from the NYC boutique a few days ago and I'm loving it!

Purchased my first Rolex
I've been a watch aficionado for years and started collecting them seriously about 10 years ago. I had a limited budget, so the richest thing I had in my collection was a 1966 Speedmaster Pro 105.012, which I've loved for years as my favorite watch. When I bought my Speedy it was still within my budget, but a bit of a stretch, at a whopping $2500. Now that it has appreciated in value 3-4x what I paid, I decided to pass it along to the next person who will value it. And I figured it would be a momentous occasion to use the proceeds for my first Rolex!So, I purchased a Datejust 36mm silver, stick dial from Alan Furman Jewelers and it just showed up today. While I'll miss the Speedy, and know it will be worth far more in the future than my new Rolex, I'm happy to have owned it and am satisfied it will bring some other collector some joy.And I'm so excited to own my first new Rolex!
