Good day bros.. didn't expect to garner so much attention and sorry for the wait. Pls pardon me for the lengthy post.
A lot of senior bros here know that my first luxury watch I bought in 2014 was the 2010 edition Rolex Explorer 1. Since selling it, a lot of bros have asked that I buy back the same watch again due to sentimental value.
When I felt ready to own another Rolex, I went and tried the 2016 explorer 1. It looked good, however at that moment my heart felt that something was missing. I hesitated and held back, went home and thought through what was wrong this time round when I tried the Explorer.
Not wanting to give up, I went to another AD and tried the Explorer again. Despite looking good on the wrist, the void in my heart just will not go away and somehow I find myself unable to pull the trigger. Sadly it seems i lost that love for the Explorer. It is still a great looking watch but something just did not add up. Then I tried another Rolex. Once on my wrist, Immediately I rekindled that sense of excitement and that 一见钟情 kind of feel. I fell in love with it immediately.
I went home to calm myself. Somehow I just cannot get that Rolex off my mind. I asked around, getting feedback from friends/colleagues. After some positive feedbacks, I decided finally that this was the model that I want this time.
After asking/searching high and low through various ADs, finally one piece was allocated to me. Some may like it, some may not. For me, I liked the way that it is unique and stands apart from the rest of the Rolex models. Colour was bold yet attracting to me.
I did try on the much favoured Submariner ND, it looked good too. However thinking that I had the Tudor BB Noir which looked similar, I opted to go for the former.
And hence, introducing my new mate : The Air King 2016.
