And here it is the day I picked it up, two years ago after getting my bonus and being promoted to manager. :)

The Rolex GMT Master II BLNR “Batman”, which is a great consulting watch, since setting the hour hand for timezone changes is super easy. Also is super reliable, accurate, water resistant, Timeless design, and unique bi-color bezel that was a breakthrough in manufacturing. It’s also a little more playful than the standard, all-Black Submariner.

Love the GMT and agree on all those points. Looks great on you. For the price point it’s a no brainer. If money was no object I also like FPJ chrono bleu, AP RO 15400 and Nautilus... one day haha

M1 I just got the promo / my bonus and want to do the same thing! Debating on which one to get

The wait list for the BLNR is just stupid. Rolex in general for Rolex is insane and I don’t get it. A new release like Pepsi steel or Daytona, I get the wait list. A black dial GMT that’s been out for years shouldn’t be so hard to get

* wait list for Rolex in general...

Tag Carrera 01 skeleton or a Rolex Daytona

EY1, We have three of the 01 skeleton Tags in stock. The all-Black version is super cool. Let me know if you’re in the market

AP 150202.st with a blue face. Perfection in a watch. Hopefully my wedding watch but we shall see

M1, actually just bought one yesterday

Well there goes my commission...haha

Hey @M1 what can you do about getting a minty Rolex Cellini?

The only thing I can do is cross my fingers that a pre-owned one walks in the door. It could certainly happen (we have a 22 day old Sea Dweller), but nothing proactive I can do. If you give me you contact info I can make sure you’re the first person that’s called on the off chance one does get sold or traded to us.

I am a ft interior designer, full time mom that also does part time photography on the side. I currently make 90K as a designer and bring in around 20K as a photographer/yr. My design job allows for me to work 100% remotely which helps with daycare pick up and drop off. I feel like I am not making as much as I should as an interior designer PM, and I have spoken to my higher ups about a pay raise with no luck since the pandemic hit the coliving residential market hard. *Continued below*

Went in to check compare sizes for an Aqua Terra (green dial) but now torn between that and Moonwatch Sapphire (manual wind but the case in the back is just 😍)

Surprisingly the Moonwatch felt smaller (even though it’s 42mm vs 41mm Aqua terra) but I’m not sure about the manual wind tbh - worried I’d break it

This is going to be my main watch for the next 20+ years so I want to make sure I pick correctly!

What would you pick and why?
