This could be a problem.
I just realized this morning that as I desire and seek a traditional black dial brushed bracelet Rolex (considering coke GMTII, standard black Sub, ExpII and Dweller), that I really kind of want them ALL!!!!This will be expensive.

Happy Father's Day!
Enjoy your day today, whether your one of the 'new recruits' to the club or a Veteran Member. Raymond Weil for me:

I still love Rolex and why I now love Omega, too . . .
I've owned four Rolex watches in my life (now 58 years old), but only one at a time. My current Rolex is my TT DJ 16013 which I bought new 23 years ago this month. After a visit to the RSC in November, it's like new again . . . it wasn't cheap, but it really is like new.The WIS guys and other members of this forum have succeeded in corrupting me and feeding my desire to own more nice Swiss watches. I had just about settled on a 36mm Explorer I when I suddenly discovered the Omega Railmaster. Based on my research, as well as a price comparison with the Explorer I, the Railmaster started looking really good. Then, on Christmas Eve, a fellow forum member posted an ad for a 6 month old 36.2mm Railmaster he had worn very little (it turned out to be basically perfect) with 2 1/2 years of warranty left for a really sweet price ($1,650.00). I jumped on it. Once I got it on my arm, I like it far better than the Explorer I.Then I got the urge for a GMT Master. I had always like the watch

Rolex sports models that wear thinner?
So my only Rolex pieces in my collection currently are a 1675 and a 1625. For a while now I have been thinking the 16570 would make a perfect versatile sports watch for me, smaller than the too big for my wrist (~6) 216570 but new enough to wear as an actual sports watch (most of my collection are vintage and on leather so require care and an avoidance of water).At a xmas party this past weekend I ran into a fella with a 16570 on the wrist, he also probably had a sub 6.5 wrist and I noticed the watch wore huge on his wrist, the bezel and crystal seemed to dome up dramatically similar to the look I found when trying on the Milgauss. I didn't ask to try it on and still haven't had one on my wrist but it made me think that perhaps I should be seeking a slimmer model.I find my 1675 and 1625 do not have an obtrusive thickness, with some reading around it sounds like their thickness is ~11-11.5. Which I wouldn't think would be a noticeable difference from the supposed 12.2mm thickness of the
