Some sharing (posted in WUS Rolex Sub Forum)
Its been a journey since i started with a Tag Heuer Aquaracer. My collection has evolved since then.

Here we go
Recent acquisition! 2 Dark Knight (1 sold). Love the ceramic dual tone bezel. Makes the timepiece shine in different shades under different light.
The love for vintage pieces hits me real hard that i have to get one of these. Ref 1680 from a dear friend of mine. Circa 1977. Awesome patina with robust movement. never been serviced since the day it left the rolex factory. still running at COSC specs. Had to leave it in a winder to keep it going because the lack of quickset date can drive me crazy!
My very first Rolex i got it from a trade using my Pam005. Evergreen classic with non maxi dial! Too bad i have to sell it to get the Ref 1680 (Can't afford to keep too many crowns)
And lastly, my first venture out to the house of rolex and tudor! the black bay noir. I had to get it after reading John Mayer's review over at hodinkee! Got it at my local AD on Boxing Day 2015! With its short production span, the use of the rose logo on both the dial and crown and the smiley line makes it a keeper. The newer version just doesn't cut it although the in house movement is a plus. With a mix of shield logo on dial and rose logo on crown makes it look weird.
its a pain in the ass to unscrew, wind and screw ... u try and you will know why I'm coming from ...
