A bold movie?
:)
What’s a bluesy
Thank you for that. I tried that Harry but to no avail. I have a hazy distant memory that it stopped changing days when he had it.
Thanks for your kind words Scwazrh. Memories are to be treasured.
Couldn't agree more @scwazrh . Hard to beat the elegance of the pre ceramic sub though but Rolex have done well with the new model. Also wears so much bigger despite on paper being just 1mm bigger in diameter.
World of difference between that old model on adverts and a new model 41mm bluesy.Older subs don’t have that silky smooth perfection on the wrist that the new models do.
Unkel & 893bet, let's dial right back on the so called "jokes" please.
I thought you were from Limerick? Maybe your family has settled? 🤣
Wouldn’t be for me anyway. I don’t live in a house that can be towed (I do holiday in one!).
That's a super picture @eljono
My trusty SMP
Lovely elegant watch, looks great on the seller, but these wear very small and the bracelet is a huge let down on them. Price is also extremely strong at over €11k. They are worth maybe €8-9k in a private sale imho.
Under retail bluesy on adverts. Older 5 digit version.
And that’s what it’s all about .Enjoy the Xmas memories from it.
Beautiful and meaningful piece being your father's.
Perhaps the day might be changed by rotating the crown in the opposite direction you used when setting the date?
Wearing my Father's old watch today (He loved Christmas)
Avia, probably bought in a jewellers shop in late 70s. It was running slow, I took the back off. Said a few prayers to a number of God's. (At my age tis best to keep options open) and blow me down with a feather she's now running grand.
I can't figure out how to change the day but heyho.
And many thanks for selling me your second Rolex.
It's made me realise this is bling enough for me 😂
Ah good to see my second Rolex. Looks better on you than on me! My first Rolex with a bit of bling / a bit of a difference. It must have given me the taste for more 😁
A brief pitstop before venturing in to some final Christmas shopping
No I didn't even ask for the price. Walked in just on the off chance they'd have one that I could try on 😁
Did you ask the price in Dawsons?Any price Ive had from them has always been miles above market price never mind retail price
Roger, will have a deep dive (geddit :)) on which one to get.
I wouldn't pretend to be knowledgeable enough to make a recommendation. But what I would recommend is throwing the strap away the minute it arrives!
Undoubtedly the worst I have experienced.
Yeah yours was class. Although I'd prefer a bit of colour over just black. And the colours on them aren't great either. If they were and one would totally have wowed me, I'd probably have it now. The rubber - I don't know. It just makes a watch look and feel cheap to me. I've tried on many high end watches on rubber including a Patek Philippe Aquanaut and they just don't do it for me.
I'm of a similar vein Wibbs, I always find it funny when people say they don't wear their watches to tell the time. As someone mildly obsessed with timekeeping, it's an absolute necessity for me to have an accurately-reading watch on my wrist. On the very rare occasion where I may forget to put a watch on (last time I think was 5/6 years ago), I get the same feeling as driving a car with no seatbelt. Weird and uncomfortable.
Oh I do look at my watch for the time alright rather than take my phone out of my pocket. But in case of a scheduled meeting or appointment I wouldn't trust the watch and use the phone instead. Even with a COSC certified watch that performs to about 1-2s deviation per day. I guess it would be fine if you make a habit of setting your watch to the exact time at least once a week, but I don't.
I wouldn't wear a watch if it didn't tell the time. I suppose it is the only justification for me as a man to wear a bit of jewelry 😂
I know we don't wear watches to tell the time
I realise it's often said in amusement Unk, but how true is it? I certainly do wear a watch to tell the time. Even when sat in front of a computer screen I look to my wrist for the time. A few years back my car's clock went on the blink from a loose connection and it was a friend that had to point it out to me and that's in my direct sightline. Now granted I got into "old watches" as a kid because the digitals that were The Thing back then I just couldn't get on with. Still can't. I think I've worn my dad's late 70s Seiko calculator watch once this year and only for a morning. For some reason with digital time I require my third braincell to fire to read it.
You're not the only one saying something like that and no, absolutely no offence taken 😁
Perhaps in my old age I want to do wear something a bit different. I'd wear a rainbow Daytona if I could afford one and they weren't so small 😂
I don't know. Taste is a very personal thing of course and please don't take offence but to me that just looks horrendous. Like something I paid €90 on Ali for.
i was very close to buying an explorer mark 2 39mm last year but ended up getting the steinhart 'adverturer' instead when it came out.. i love the look of the watch
i had a ROO diver on rubber for a bit, lovely watch but too big for me, rubber works better i think because of the limitations of the bracelet that you have already pointed out!
