Over the years I'm certain all of us have taken thousands of pictures of watches, without a doubt. After going through my old albums I found a few that really stood out to me and represented some incredibly fond memories. I'll have to try find the ones I took right after I bought th 116710LN and got to my car. carl was the first person to see that image. Which wrist shots have you taken over the years that really stand out to you, even if it's a watch you sold. I still have the GMT and will never sell it. [/IMG]

When I had my Pepsi at the ACDC concert. I ended up giving that watch to my older son after he graduated from college.

Nicko Amazing! Man oh man, I had no idea you owned all of those. You've got great taste and I had no clue you owned modern pieces too like the ceramic Submariner! Here's the first wrist shot ever of my GMT, as soon as I got back to my car: It was a long day and lots of driving from near downtown Toronto where the watch dealer is located, so stopped at the Subway to get some food, couldn't stop staring at the watch. It's a miracle I made it home without an issue: The 16570 Explorer II I traded towards the T with two other Omega watches: I don't miss the Explorer II nor could I see myself getting another (if I did) considering the other neo-vintage options more my preference.

I wish I had the all still. The only one I currently have is the Red 1680. I have many more shots, but I'm unsure where they are. I’ve been flipping/trading since I bought my first OP Date in 1985. I no longer do it since I’ve gotten older. The last trade I did was the Zenith Daytona for the MKV Red 1680; simply because I loathed that Daytona and missed the Red, I flipped back in 2011.

[mention]rw16610 [/mention] I’ve almost gotten into a few fender benders staring at my wrist over the years as well. Lovely shots!

Baco Noir Fantastic shots, indeed! A great collection there as well and you truly have an appreciation for multiple brands! I seem to remember the incoming for each of those, at least the Rolex watches. That Tag is a superb chronograph. Nicko Wow, settling in with the right watch now is good but it's also great you had so much fun with them for so long. It just makes you even more sure of your most recent purchase which was a great idea and can't wait to see more of it!

[mention]rw16610 [/mention] Thank you my friend. I’ve had my fair share of watches over the years, but nothing beats a Red Sub.

This was my first Rolex and I had so much fun with it. Zero regrets though as I'm much happier with the GMT and to be honest, if I had this Explorer II now it would be getting traded towards a 16600:
