Interesting......
My first Rolex was an explorer II some years ago......
But my first real Rolex was a sub meters first, the warmth and the charm of it
are captivating indeed....
I would suggest a no date sub, a great beater and a classic....
You can fairly easily find one ( new or like new) and "experiment" daily with it.....
From that, I think that you can discover the rolex world, both vintage & modern....
Good luck my friend....
Cheers
I think I am going to surrender......
Hi folks , I never wrote here on the Rolex forum before,for some reasons I never improved my basic knowledge on Rolex history and current/recent collections.But here what happened in the last few days..... I am looking for the ultimate travelling summer c...
sooner or later we all fall for the crown
Hi, Mo Glad to have you here. As far as what you are describing, the GMT 2 Ceramic sounds like the perfect choice for you. Another option I would suggest could be the Daytona, particularly the white gold with the black and red dial. Absolutely stunning! T...
Thanks Alex..
A lot of friends are pushing me towards the GMTII with ceramic bezel,I must say that it s very appealing......... Yellow gold Sub?!?!?!Thats a killer on the beach for sure!Definetely an eye catcher, envy of every boy,magnet for every girl...Ha ha,Why not?...
Mo - Mo - Mo - what can I say the dark side awaits.
Mon ami, There is no rush. You are on the right track. The ultimate travel companion you can eat sleep, drag luguage with is a Rolex Submariner. Forget everything anyone has said about these watches and accept your destiny. You need to experience one of t...
Bill,how can I not give your advice a go..
first because your opinion is important to me,secondly after such a heartfelt advice I HAVE to try to catch the bug..... Thank you Bill,its gonna be all your fault if it happens...... I know how to use my next few days off.... Mo
Mo it only hurts a little the first time
Then my friend it is a pleasure every time. Now get your head out of the gutter - I am talking about watches here not s?x ! See you are already seeing letters upside down. LOL I guess there may be some over lap but with all the devil advisers you will fin...
I will clear my thoughts and begin...
then we will compare in the not distant future,,,,Christmas almost here. I have a hot tip for your next summer over,I'll tell you all about it. Can t wait to see you and family Bill. Mo
Looking forward to it with great anticipation.
We need to set some dates in motion for xmas...
Your selection is already very good, Momon ami.
I would first choose the GMT which can also be a superb travel watch, but which would fit the bill if you have to put a tuxedo for some special events ( Deeeelphine ). The other which comes to mind is the YachtMaster with the platinum dial and bezel. This...
Special events.....
that s all I live for(Delphineeeeeee)... I was sure of this...there is a great danger here,to catch a relatevily vintage bug,to go James Bond,and to get a playful Milgauss.. I knew what the answer was gonna be......Consider all the options..... PT steel Y...
As for Vintage, Mo ...
I can give you an hand, not a kick ... I have some good connections here, in Paris, so, if you have the opportunity ( and I know you will.. ), we may hit 2 bords with the same stone. Best, my friend. Nicoias PS: If you can be here in Paris on the 18th of ...
Thank you Nico,
I definetely will play...lets catch a good one.....unfortunately the 18 I will be away with all the book madness,but I will visit veeeery soon.....my poor heart! Mo
One way of solving the problem...
I took my Submariner LV and SDDS for service in the beginning of the summer. However, I missed my every day sporting Rolex esso much that I wanted to buy a new one. So I bought Yacht Master. But then, visiting Tokyo I saw the ND Submariner, then from Lond...
Not from zero,
I still have 2 rolexes in Paris which I have to pick up soon. However, I must admit that it would have been much cheaper just to change the strategy and go for a nice vintage piece as you recommended during our last meeting. At the same time, if i would b...
Empty beer bottles is a serious option ...
And a very healthy one if you don't dringk them before. But I still think option B is something to think about. Let's see that next time we meet! Best, my friend. Nicolas
As you know Nico,
I don't drink beer. So again I would have two options: a. during dull nights collect the empty bottles from the streets. This would also mean some positive cash flows or b. collect the bottles after your consumption. I just wonder which alternative would ...
Remeber what they say
He who dies with the most toys wins. Kari I am sure the St Peter is waiting for you at the gate with your name already on the guest list. I am sure they already have a table ready for you at the club. No rush here just avoid the guys with the pointy ears....
I agree with your analysis
The easy route is a new Rolex from the many choices available all good no way to lose there. The harder and more adventurous route is that of as you very well put it is a 5513 no date plexi with all its ugly and pointy bits. And risks. With all of the Mod...
LMAO, Bill... But so true!
And I have the feeling Kari already knows / fears that. Best, Nicolas
If I ever needed more confusion...
this certainly didn t help.....WOW!Way to go sir,I must admit that a few times I was so taken by a group shot.The charm of the ever green rolex look repeated in a box is hard to beat. YM is very appealing,a sub is a classic,and a GMTII is a must have........
in closing - Saepius plantata arbor fructum profert exiguum.
The modern interpretation of course. Keep moving so as not to stagnate. The end result will be the happier one. Enough of my rambling for tonight. Ciao gents.
For holiday activities the GMT II...
I've had my GMT for a while now and is prob the piece I wear the most to be honest for the reasons you said - rugged, waterproof, practical etc etc. In fact it is being 'pimped' soon..!! As I have just got a Speedy Pro with black bezel I'm getting the bla...
Andy,GMT is top of the list
and by next week I-ll make my mind up.... Hope to see you soon. Mo
