Congratulations on the new watch! Love the red accents with the green dial.

I had the same trio only with a No Date Sub and a Black DJ. I added this yesterday.

To me, it’s the perfect 4 piece Rolex collection, dress, dive, GMT and GADA.

Formex Essence has a hint of that look while maintaining a very original design language and an innovative case design.

This is my 3rd Sienna, the first two were completely reliable and trouble free. I also don’t think there is a more practical, comfortable vehicle on the market. I’ve also owned 3 Prius’ and I hope the hybrid system in the new Sienna is as seamless and reliable as the Prius. I don’t have 1000 miles on it yet but so far it’s averaging just under 35 mpg, crazy for a vehicle of this size.

My only gripe with the 224270 was the 21mm lug width. I’ve got a dresser drawer full of 20s and 22s and not a single 21 since I sold my HydroConquest Ceramic.

I’m the same way lately. I’ll do 41mm if it’s something thin or light but the lug to lug has to be pretty short also. 39-40mm with a lug to lug in the 45-48mm range seems to be the sweet spot for me. I’ve actually sold or traded 4 of my larger watches in the last 3 or 4 months.

My Smiths Everest Expedition in 36mm kind of started my smaller trend and I bought a 36mm DateJust a couple of weeks ago and love it also.

Yep, that’s Carson the Cairn Terrier. We’ve had Cairns for almost 40 years now. He is our 5th, while I was working we had them in pairs to keep each other company. Since I retired and we lost our older dog, he’s been a one and only.

BTW, the dog in my avatar is our original Cairn, Corky. We were at my daughter’s softball game with my very first digital camera and he was curious and stuck his nose in the lens and I snapped the picture.
