Similar to you , Was set on a polar explorer 42mm. And despite never wanting a sub as always thought they where a bit of an obvious choice. switched the decision to a two tone sub.
Rolex Yachtmaster, platinum dial, 16622.
Never did a watch look so wrong on me. I don’t have large wrists so thought it would be perfect, but in my eyes it looked feminine.
Came home empty handed.
I was looking at photos of the IWC Mark 18 Heritage.... it looked really nice. When I tried one on in the Local AD I was disappointed at how small and light it felt.
I still like the look of it and it would make a good, discreet travel watch........ but for that purpose I could find a far less expensive watch to for fill that role.
I wanted a bronze watch until I owned one - they turn your wrist green on warm days!
Might cause some “heat”, but I really wanted the Hulk and when i first got it, I stored it away in my safe while I worked abroad. Went home over Christmas and took it out the safe, and I love looking at it but, when it’s on my wrist I don’t get all giddy like I did with my BLNR (which was also my first Rolex) and makes me think is it worth keeping. I’ve always loved that watch, the green to me is something else, but it looks so dark at times too.
No rash decisions being made, i’m wearing it in rotation with my other watches and giving it some time.
Writing this post I wish I chose that this morning over the BLNR, I know what i’ll be wearing tomorrow :)
Fixed it ^^
