Rolex Submariner 5508 under the Italian Sun.

How captivating is a glossy dial when the light is good, while living in our eternally grey towns, you feel more than you see... Almost all the pics I took of my 5508 needed the help of a flash, so it was time to submit this beauty to its natural environm...  

Vintage at its best!

Some would hesitate to wear this beauty let alone subject it to the elements. Those pics. are getting to be too professionally taken. Are you sure you didn't bring Jocke with you? ( no offence Jocke ) cheers fernando

I don't see myself not wearing this Beauty, Fernando.

Like I told you, I am trying my very best to avoid the vintage bacteria. Again this week I took a new injection agains this virus but still, one vintage is bothering my mind 24/7. I will post a short story next week about my counter actions. Best, Kari

Resistance is futile, Kari.

The more you resist, the more you're convinced that you have to get one. But you already now that, my friend. What can be this Vintage watch which obsesses you so much??? Best, Nicolas

I'll explain next week...

I start to have a very firm idea how a diving watch should look like and feel like. But you will see on Tuesday what I am thinking. Best, Kari

Nothing beats old skool!

I agree that this Rolex is very classy.

The lack of crownguards and date give the watch a completely different look versus the current Sub, or even many other popular vintage Subs. Great holiday shots, as usual! I feel that one of these days I will succumb to the allure of Rolex. I'm just not s... 

With or without crownguard, Daos...

That is a " Shakesperian " question... I wouldn't say that one is cooler than the other, as they are very different Subs, and as I also found some very appealing crownguard Subs. The more you dig, the more you're embarassed, but you know this phenomenon. ... 

Just perfect my friend.
