Two is always better than one

Whether hailing from separate eras, sporting distinct dials, or crafted from different materials, it’s always fun comparing two different Rolex watches from the same series. Known more for slowly enhancing their models over the years rather than making any drastic changes, noting the subtle differences among varying Rolex references is what makes collecting them so compelling. Here are ten awesome Instagram pictures of pairs of similar, yet fundamentally different Rolex watches to mull over.
