Yeah about that price, but I have sapphire domed crystal that was 80 or so extra. I'd rather not mess with putting that on a new one

I'd go for a ExpII or a GMT instead. For a reg sub, I'd go for the no-date.

- Great horology with the Mt Everest story
- Is a fancier/dressier watch compared to the tool/functional sub
- Smaller size
- Cheaper even though it arguably looks more 'expensive'
Obviously they are both great, but both quite different.
Not to mention the Boxster is a 9/10 car too

Top 5 laundry detergents in the game (don't judge my opinion):
1.Tide (delivers a clean and fresh style of)
2.Oxi clean (attacks dry stains like a monster)
3.all (deserves a spot in the top 5 but not the best)
4.wisk (I respect the stain spectrum tech. But needs to fight harder for that top 3)
5.purex (up and coming in the game)

I could see someone being suited to an Exp1.

im not a big fan of the explorer 1 and ive always thought the boxter was meh (until the most recent model)
but…
the difference between explorer 1 and 2 is a matter of taste and function
the difference between a boxster and 911 is largely a matter of budget

I have the 2 line no date. By far the purist most minimalist sub. Suits me the best. If in fact you decide to purchase, I HIGHLY recommend a retailer/reseller from The Rolex Forum. I was skeptical until I went on there and saw the reviews for some of these guys. I bought my Sub for $600-700 under what comparable ones were going for through local jewelers and online dealers.
I got mine with box, papers, original display tags, etc.

Found an arty pic of my 300m plus a pic of my old Rolex I sold to fund a business. I much preferred the Omega even though the Rolex strap is better, you can adjust the length on the fly, the Omega gets pretty tight when I am hot.

Not familiar with that specific model, but Hamilton is a good watch for the money. If you like the way it looks, go for it.

After that it's a DSSD-DB or a GMT Batman. Then I think $25k in watches is enough LOL
