[5036] Isn't she lovely?

Finally back from service. Now I can't stand be apart from it!

Anyone else have a 5036 or another annual calendar? Would love to see pics of whatever y'all are wearing in the replies

Tom Cruise's Digger's VC Overseas

Noticed this 41mm Pink Gold VC Overseas in the trailer for Alejandro Iñárritu's Digger (2026) starring Tom Cruise. Looks to be a 4520V/210R-B967 41 MM PINK GOLD.

EDIT: Nevermind seems to be a 7920v dual time. I'm more of a movie guy than a watch guy, my apologies

[5036] Help! Scratch on moonphase dial?

Just noticed this mark on a recently purchased 5036/1G and I'm curious if any has seen anything similar or has any ideas what might have caused it. I thought maybe it's part of the dial construction, but its not visible on both halves of the moon dial, just this one.

[Explorer 36] Got the call for the perfect casual watch!

After about a couple months of waiting (presumably would've been much shorter if I didn't live in a major city), my AD reached out to me to let me know my time had come!

Its a beautiful watch and far more understated than my Black GMT, so I'm excited to finally have a watch with which I can go anywhere and do anything (there should really be a shorter way to say that). To me it's the perfect size and think it will pair nicely with my extensive collection of hawaiian shirts.

What do you think of the explorer 36? Is there a more versatile rolex in the current catalogue, or even a neo-vintage/vintage piece?

Wrist Check + 116710LN Nickname?

I've heard a few nicknames being thrown out for the GMT Black (Green Arrow, Dark Knight, etc), what do you think the definitive nickname for the 116710LN is/should be?

What are you wearing right now? (with photos please so we can drool!)

next addition advice

hi all, I have a GMT 116710LN and my grandpa's old VC L'Anglaise (both pictured here) and I'm looking to add something new to the collection. Im between an OP36 (black dial) and an Explorer 1 36 but cannot decide (I've attached a photo of then side by side from another person's post).

I think I'm leaning more toward explorer as it has the safety clasp which would be ideal on a watch that I'm hoping to make my daily (especially since I'm hoping to take it with me and swim with it on vacation), but I think it might be easier to get the black dial OP from my AD as its in less demand (tbh I love its round bezel but the dial is slightly less legible).

What do you all think? Which would you go for? And which do you think complements the collection so far?
