Thanks! I was indifferent of the gold caseback when I got this so no. Having a plain one works for me though since I live in a very humid country and I don't want to worry too much about it deteriorating.

I may get a 44GS one down the line with a gold medallion, but replace it with an aftermarket see-through one.

Still using the 3A and it's still OK. I'm a fan of Pixel phones (used Nexus phones before that), and I usually use them until they stop working, then I buy the latest model. I think I still have a year with this one.

Thanks! Trying to consolidate now and limit my watches to 3 excluding heirlooms.

Am I missing something or is posting from the community not working? Whenever I try, it shows 'Coming Soon'. But obviously, other people can submit a post (unless they're not using Sync altogether).

Yeah, it's a hassle to sell. Another option is of someone is willing to trade the watch you want with some of your pieces. But be prepared to lose some money.

Thanks! There was time in between getting this and selling the other ones. I feel like what works for me is just save up and buy the watch I want and then sell those that I haven't worn in a while. It will reduce seller's remorse to an extent. 😅

 

Hi everyone. I recently decided I really didn't like owning a lot of watches, and for my upcoming 40th birthday, decided to consolidate into this Rolex Explorer 114270 from 2017.

I've always liked Rolexes from the early 2000s as I feel like they're a good combination of vintage and modern. This watch really wears comfortably like my old Tudor Prince Date Day, plus it has the tooly charm of my Sinn 556i.

I think I've finally found the watch that is "me": simple, dependable, understated (for a Rolex), and a bit boring.

Nice pick up man! Love the Pelagos line.

Hey thanks! Unfortunately, it's just portrait mode from Pixel 3A. 😅

 

Hello, I thought I would contribute to the community by posting a photo of my Sarb033.

The watch comes in a great size, with decent finishing, water resistance, and power reserve. And even with a few drawbacks like the lack of micro-adjustments in the clasp and lack of AR coating in the crystal, I think you can't go wrong with this watch if you're looking at a great overall daily wearer - especially if you can get it at a decent price.
