Rolex - LOL...

LOL...

yeah a few differences - but I love the fact it still looks almost exactly the same. It's just classic Rolex evolution...although some people didn't like the changes to the date version last year my dealer can't get enough of them and it is their biggest seller by far. I think they are classed as a Rolex Boutique now after buying the shop next door and turning it into a dedicated Rolex shop/boutique...that was another great party for the opening evening last year..!!

The new bracelt with extra weight helps it sit better on the wrist, my GMT does slip round sometimes which is a bit annoying. Like you say the glidelock clasp is just genius to alter the length on those hot or cold days.

This is to be the new daily beater then get the GMT serviced and now I know how much that one is worth since I bought it it'll be looked after a bit better..!!

Just watching the Moto GP...far more fun than the Formula 1. If you can get tickets to watch one live let me know and I'll come join you

Big Boy.

Party preview of the new range.....Cheshire style....

By: Andy : May 17th, 2012-01:03

Last night my dealer had a preview evening and 4 course meal to preview the new Rolex range....something I was interested in as I wanted to see the new Sub..!! The head of Rolex UK was there and the whole evening was themed on Pan Am with boarding passes ...

The idea of the Pan Am decorum is excellent.

You will understand why soon. Well, this new Sub... There is worse, for sure. Best, Nicolas PS: Did you happen to see the Tudor Novelties, as well?

Indeed Pan Am and Rolex are like a family.....

By: Andy : May 17th, 2012-09:16

pity I missed a pic of the 5 models as they were dressed in tiny Pam Am cabin crew outfits..!! Legs like you wouldn't believe I know modern Subs aren't quite your thing, but I promise I'll look at a vintage Sub (maybe a 69 year if it was a good one) to pa...

And you didn't take pics of the Pan Am Models??? Banned!

Where is the ban button??? Best, Nicolas

Oh no...!!!!

Wonderful presentation with the thematic Pan Am decor...

... but I feel that not documenting the stewardess models, really deserves a big BAN! Cordial regards, Abel.

Andy got the message very well. He will soon post the required pics, I am sure. ;) [nt]

have you been then..? I used to prefere the shop in Macclesfield but this one will do The Xmas doo's are also great as the centre bar area is used for drinks and cocktail staff...I think we polished off at least a 100 bottles of Verve champagne..!! Great ...

Yes, not far away from me here....

By: Ross Povey : May 18th, 2012-08:22

certainly the best AD within striking distance! Very nice staff in the Rolex boutique. Nearly bought the 39mm Exp there late last year. I'm not really a customer though as vintage is my thing; so no invites for these dinners :-( The chap I dealt with like...

looks like a good do Andy

By: G99 : May 19th, 2012-14:34

however, i cant see how the new submariner is any different to the current ones. perhaps i'm missing the finer points. why not get the 69 sub for your birthday ? see you soon G

Well....

By: Andy : May 20th, 2012-00:47

subtle differences but in fact almost every part is different..!! They updated the Sub with the date last year and have done the same tweaks this year to the Sub without date....so it now has the new case with bigger lugs, new strap with solid links inste...

By: G99 : May 20th, 2012-02:54

ok, there are some subtle differences . the solid link bracelet and glidelock clasp are 2 of the nicest IMO. theres nothing worse than your wrists swelling during the day and not being able to adjust the bracelet so theyve won me over with that. having s...

can't believe how they are cornering so quick in the wet - apart from that crash just now..!!! LOL Moi....

By: G99 : May 20th, 2012-05:54

excellent ride from Rossi, shame he cant do it in the dry feel a bit sorry for Stoner as hes dropped 9 points in this race and he was top of the tree 1 point above Lorenzo who came first. puts him down to 2nd if not 3rd in the championship. still on the ...

PS...

By: Andy : May 20th, 2012-00:57

after this one I think I will be looking for a vintage Sub from 69 (if it was a good year) to have the old v new Moi.

well Rolex arent known for...

By: G99 : May 20th, 2012-02:50

well Rolex arent known for huge changes so i think it would have been an ok year. the 5513 was their most popular and i think the 5512 COSC model was still made then. best G
