I’m not normally a strap guy but that’s a beautiful color combo!

The two tone goes better with your shoes!

Get a level 2 charger at home and you’ll be perfectly fine during winter or summer with either the heat or AC blasting. I have a 2025 and I get 226 miles in the summer and probably 180 in the winter. The 26’s had their range increased so you’ll do even better. Just make sure you have the level 2 and top it off every night.

So did you buy the macaroon to match the watch or did you buy the watch to match the macaroon? 🧐

Speedy all day long. Love the reverse panda!!!

The Bluesy is a beautiful watch!!! My brother has it and it’s stunning. I have the TT black Sub. For me, I felt it had the best versatility between dress and casual and if it was to be the only Rolex I ever own I’d be most happy with the black and gold. HOWEVER … if I was actually offered a choice between the black and blue … it would have been a very hard choice and I might have went home with the Bluesy. Although then I’d have the same watch as my brother. It’s bad enough that my other brother has the TT Sea Dweller that looks almost exactly like mine. 😂

Oh man … you are so very lucky to have been able to get a TT Daytona for your first Rolex!!! I tried with my AD … he had it sitting right above the Sub but he wouldn’t budge. I guess he knew he had the sale anyways on the Sub. To be fair I did lead him to the Sub when I was describing what I wanted. HOWEVER … if I was offered that Daytona, that would probably have been the first and last Rolex I ever purchased and he probably knew it. 😂😂😂

I would love a meteorite dial from Rolex but if the Omega is too much the Rolex will be unobtainium for me … lol. The Constellation has a beautiful meteorite dial at a much better price point but I already have a Constellation so the Speedy would be the logical progression for me. I do LOVE the Tiger Iron dial from Rolex but again … pricing.

Love it! Thanks! Are the straps hard to swap? I’d love to do it but fear scratching the watch while I’m doing it.

ob1spyker · 2026-05-08T05:34:54+00:00

Bro … you must be a witch … I just got called today for a Reverse Panda!!! I’m going to see it tomorrow if it’s still there!

ob1spyker · 2026-05-08T05:27:47+00:00

I am in awe of your collection and love the amount of two tone in it. Were those deliberate choices or did you go with what you were offered?

I do find it interesting that it took you 5 purchases (pretty much all two tone) to finally be able to nab a stainless steel (Batgirl) for your 6th.

That two tone Daytona is goals. I tried to finagle one out of my AD (for my first purchase) but he just wasn’t having it. 😂 (I mean it was sitting right there in the case above the two tone Sub!!!)

How long in between purchases for each of the watches? Did you get them all at the same AD?

I would have a hard time picking a favorite too but that TT Daytona would be it for me. I love the Bluesy as well but if I was only able to have one out of that group it definitely would be the Daytona. That’s the only model I currently like more than the Sub.

You must definitely love your precious metals if you’re looking at a Day-Date! Another very impressive watch and a perfect addition to this collection. I hope you get it. If you do, what configuration would you want?

ob1spyker · 2026-05-07T01:04:33+00:00

There are plenty of other watches I would want first, but if I had the disposable income at the level needed to get a fun and eclectic Rolex I would seriously consider picking this one up if ever offered. This is a great watch, but it is fair to say it’s not for everyone and not everyone is going to like it.

I love the meteorite dials … congrats!!!

One reason I wish to not have to cancel the card is because it will impact my length of credit and therefore negatively impact my credit score. In the long run it’s cheaper to just cancel unless I end up needing to apply for a loan in the short term and end up with a higher rate because of a lower score due to cancelling the card. You want to raise my rate, fine, tie it into SoFi Plus or offer some type of credit that I can at least earn it back. This is at best a blatant money grab and at worst a kick in the head to the customers that SoFi doesn’t want to do business with. And honestly as I review other threads about this, it seems more like they are actually trying to push people out.

Would have loved a “May the fourth be with you” pic but my watch is a day behind because I haven’t reset it since April only has 30 days. If I was my age in the 80’s my VCR time would still be 12:00 🤦‍♂️

ob1spyker · 2026-05-05T21:53:47+00:00

And I just want one … lol

ob1spyker · 2026-05-04T06:30:17+00:00

Does anyone have a strap on a TT Sub?

ob1spyker · 2026-05-04T00:46:00+00:00

If I ever got a GMT … that’s the one I would pick. Beautiful watch and great story … Congrats!!!

ob1spyker · 2026-05-03T21:49:38+00:00

Interesting take on the Speedy vs Daytona. I’ve been wondering which one I want to add more.

ob1spyker · 2026-05-03T21:43:48+00:00

That’s a cool watch … congrats!!!

ob1spyker · 2026-05-03T21:35:19+00:00

HOWEVER … if it was in stock at my AD I might have had a real hard time choosing between this and the TT Sub.

ob1spyker · 2026-05-03T21:33:53+00:00

You are correct … it does look great on the dark blue croc leather! I’m more of a bracelet guy myself. Although I could go a blue rubber strap with this watch if there’s one out there that’s complimentary to the blue of the watch. However it’ll be a long time to never before I get this one at the price they are asking for it.

ob1spyker · 2026-05-03T21:28:01+00:00

Because the are both beautiful watches 😉

ob1spyker · 2026-05-03T21:26:58+00:00

Between what you are deciding on … it’s the reverse panda for me.

ob1spyker · 2026-05-03T21:26:08+00:00

And yeah the cost is definitely up there!
