I considered getting another AP, but I figured it would be like cheating on my wife with another woman that looks like her.  So, I went with the Rolex, which is a completely different watch.  My aim is to explore various brands to see what they offer. So far it's AP, Hublot, and Rolex.  All have been exceptional pieces. I've read a lot of negative comments about Hublot and Rolex on several blogs, mostly from people who have no experience with the brands.  I always wonder why they bad mouth Hublot on the Hublot blogs or write garbage on the Rolex blogs. What are they doing there in the first place?  I don't spend my time with things that don't interest me. Anyway, I've been very happy with all of my purchases.  Just because one luxury watch costs more than the next or because one company has been in business longer doesn't make it a better brand. Sometimes, I don't see what all the hype is about some watches regardless of the brand. Other times, I wonder why more credit is not given to some timepieces.

Poppin my Rolex cherry!

I just picked up my first Rolex today! I love this one! Clean with a splash of color, and it has a date. Would have pulled trigger on Daytona, but no date. What's up with that? Anyway, I'm surprised how much I like this considering I'm not a big rolex fan...  

Bravo! Another member in the ever growing Black and Blue Gang.

...I have both of the Rolexes you have mentioned - The Daytona 116520 and the Batman. The Batman I have just picked up about 6 weeks ago and I have to tell you I just absolutely adore it. I can not get it off my hand at all. Believe it or not - I did not ...

Tried on the Batman while on a watch tour over the weekend and was surprised and delighted by just how nice the watch is on the wrist. It's been about a year and half since I've had a Rolex in the watch box, and was sorely tempted to rejoin the club after... 

A great entrance into the Rolex world Congratulations.

Variety adds colors to your collection. Our preferences should not be socially conforming when it comes to watches cos u gotta wear what you like. AP is a good brand btw. What we don't wear does not mean they are inferior in quality or design. It all boil...
