Happy for you bro. Take your time, no hurry. I only started watches during 30s.

End game for me already

thank you, bro Thai_Rak_Thai!

end game with your PP aquanaut?

you're more an elegant dress watch gentleman, but do you plan to collect the iconic 62MAS re-edition in the form of the SLA017/SBDX019?

bros, as a rolex noob, my cursory research into my polar exp II revealed that for a very brief period/production run, the 16570 came with BOTH a holes case AND SELs, before it transitioned finally to a NON holes case & SELs.

that led me to erroneously assumed that the same may have happened to the 14060M. unfortunately, it appears that the 14060M NEVER had SELs.

major, MAJOR bummer!

i like the minimalist, no date, 2-liner dial of the 14060M. but i rather have a SEL rolex sub to match with my SEL polar exp II.

which means i'm left with the the 16610 sub date if i want a black dial rolex sub with similar case/lug size and SELs as my 16570 polar exp II.

OR flip my z series NO holes case SEL 16750 for a holes case, non-SEL, dead tritium 16570 polar exp II to match with an equally dead tritium, non-SEL, rattly 14060. (which i haven't warm up to).

arrrrrggggghhhhhhh.......... stupid 1st world problems.

lol its confusing isn't it.

a lot of the rolex collectors are the epitome of what I consider "cosmetic collectors" ... they care about cosmetics of the dial, hands, errors, and pay a lot for such rarities.

me i actually like the rolex movement. if i had an exp II with 3186 collectors, I would upgrade to exhibition caseback because it is substantially better movement. of course must be verified by rolex. not some franken watch lah.

Got a mark on my GMT date cyclops. I think brushed against the metal parts of my bag.

I cant wipe it off. Any advice?

Is it a mark or scratch, is there a groove?

If it's residual metal, can try those magic erasing sponge. White color one.

My manual watch only got 2 hands so I can't see the problem. Lol.

The other manual got like 3 sec lag time like you described

I just try on the GSs and ask for price. Never did really bother with them.

Can also try World Of Watches II in Wisma for GSs.
