I love my Rolex watch and I'm now looking to buy another.

Nothing ostentatious just good old brushed steel with a white or rhodium face. I'm gravitating towards the Explorer or Explorer II.

Good choices. They are not as common as the sub or GMT. I have the Explorer II because I need the date. 16570 is 40mm which is more your size, the 216570 is 42mm. I have both. Plus a datejust 1500 34mm bought a super long time ago.

sigh. only watch I ever wanted was the one Sam's got. 16xxx. But I missed the boat and now I can't stand how bloated the 116xxx look. Is it because of the lugs as you mentioned?

They're both supposed to be 36 mm. The date one. I can't figure out why it looks like a weight training aid rather than an elegant sports watch.

I dislike what Rolex (and Omega) have become. They are supposed to be reliable tool watches, not luxury time pieces. I know of people who buy them just to show off, they are not watch aficionados, we call them posers. I really beat up my seamasters and the 16570, wore them fishing, cycling, tennis.

I once drove Subaru. Quite problematic compared to other Jap cars. Toyota is the safest bet. If it gives you problems, you are damn suay. Best to skip continental cars. Big headache.

All correct. Subaru has a lot of deficits. Leaking gaskets, dinosaur automatics, etc.. Toyota is #1 for good reason. But very latest Subarus I feel are #2 to Toyota now. I prefer this new Forester to a Honda or a Nissan. Mainly due to how I can see out of the thing!! :laugh:

Looks like everything started to go downhill after the 90s eh?

Not anymore. The boxer engine is practically bullet proof, the CVT gearbox is smooth and reliable. They are one of the best selling cars in North America, made in the US. Toyota has proven reliability and good resale. Conti cars, I've had my fun and heartaches. They generally run too hot in our climate, high wear and tear on gaskets, rubber parts. If it wasn't oil leak, it was water leak. KNN!
