Which watch did you / will you trade in for your Rolex?

[Nutty28]

When I was looking for my first Rolex, the Explorer II (Black) was amongst the top on the list. But I held back because of this:



I know they are two different watches, but there is also too much similarities in the looks department.

So, if I so decide to pick up the Explorer II, I would probably trade this for that.

For me it'll be my grey Seiko, which should cover the shipping for the 1018

Seiko 7000-8000:



Rolex 1018:

You know a Tudor makes much more sense - that way you could have your Seiko *and*

Ah that Tudor is far too pretty It makes me all confused. Who knows perhaps on that distant day I'll find another thirty quid and save the Seiko

:-)
I wasn't meaning this Tudor particularly, just that the technology and aesthetics are right up there, so Rolex is basically a name you're paying all that extra dosh for, imo
Goes against my (on my mum's side) Northern sensibilities :-)

You say pretty, I say suave

You say pretty, I say suave

I'm very happy that you think that way

my Northern sensibilities

My Northern sensibilities stomped off in disgust around the moment I bought my second watch. I blame the unsensible watchyacquisition tendencies on the streak of fruit-looped Forest Of Dean in my heritage

Not planning to trade anything for my first Rolex. I'm trying to stop buying all the other crap I can't stop buying so I have some money left to buy it with....
It will be a 16570 white and then I'm done buying watches.

I didn't trade anything for my Rolex but it did change my focus, and I probably will lose a number of watches as a consequence.

[popoki nui]

I've never traded anything for a Rolex. I'm actually thinking of trading one of my Rolexes for another Tudor, although it will have to be the right one.

I know....I'm not right in the head.
