Reach the top of the mountain!

[Danny_T]

Well folks the time has come. I never imagined I would get to this point in this watch hobby/collecting madness, but I did and have met some amazing and talented people along the way on this journey. I've also gathered a boatload of information and knowledge from those people and am in a position now to share and help others.

So I guess this would be the culmination of that journey. What a feeling and what a ride it has been this far !!!

I been meaning to say congrats to your most excellent choice! All my watches I love but if I had a gun to my head and was only able to choose one watch for the rest of my life my Ex2 would be the one.

Besides, I was wearing it while my baby was coming into the world!

Congrats and welcome to the club. This watch will spoil you for almost all other everyday watches. Best one made. Enjoy!

Congratulations. I'm sorry to be the one to inform you that you have reached a false summit and everyone here will encourage you to keep on climbing :wink:

Disagree when it comes to universal everyday watches. You can only go down from here. Anything more is just fluff. And this is after three years of ownership.

It's even spoiled me for every other Rolex. I tried to talk myself into the BLNR GMT again last week, and just can't. It would come to a gun fight with a knife with no blades. This was about the 30th time I've looked at adding one of these. It's just not as readable or usable as the white EXP II.

I think you misunderstood my humour.
I wasn't putting the watch down, it was just a comment that you're never finished while you have a bunch of enablers like us around.

Fully understood, but maybe you don't understand that for three plus years I've posted at every opportunity I can on any forum that this is the best everyday watch made regardless of price. See I've said it three times in this thread alone. In nearly 40 years of collecting I've never been so smitten with a watch. IMO he has reached the pinnacle for this type of watch. There is nothing better at any price for an everyday sport watch(which are the only things in my collection). Now maybe in dress watches something with two dozen complications may be impressive, but not better. Besides are you really going to wear that everyday even in harsh environments? I've had to scrub paint off of mine with a tooth brush, and I rarely take it off no matter what I'm doing. It makes my AD cringe. Add that with the black hands and markers, on a white dial, with tuns of lume there really is nothing more readable in any light condition made. The comfort, even as tight as I wear a watch is off the chart. I've tried everything else that might even come close. They are just not worthy.

Lol. I treated my Tag Heuer Kirium just as badly, that why my beater these days is made from tungsten carbide :wink:
