Sorry Rolex guys! Flat 4 is coming home
By: jlc.thomsen : July 29th, 2019-13:53
In my time of appreciating and collecting watches I always avoided Rolex. Not sure why really Then I started reading about the Kermit Flat four. It became an obsession to find one and today I drove 1.100 km to take this baby home. A Flat 4 Mark 1 with all...
Thank you Kari!

Yes seems a little crazy-until you get smitten by it.
Thanks Bono and Miles

Thanks Bono, the full story is here- it is easy to change the bezel insert on a Rolex, all the details including serial and paperwork have to match- Mark 1 can only be manufactured in 2003 (and maybe beginning of 2004) and have serial from Y94 to F54- apa...
Thanks Miles-It's an early F

Sold in spring 2004, most likely produced in 2003-what Rolex(es) do you have?

Onestly i am not a watch collector. I am a person who is interested in watches. But why i respond is that i have a same approach to the subject. Loving many watches, and Rolex is not my holy grail. And yes, i want to search for the hulk. Full green, becau...
Green is great! Kermit vs Hulk
By: jlc.thomsen : July 30th, 2019-00:50
I agree with you- green is a great colour. It's also the DNA colour of Rolex and the colour of $$ by the way. I have a green suit too and always get great comments from Irish customers and friends!!! I looked at the Hulk too-I think the anniversary Kermit...
I have a Flat 4. Had no idea it was a thing.

Z Serial #. I used to dive with this watch. Don’t do so anymore because people would go “you dive with that” and I would say “it’s a dive watch”. After a while it got tiring. So now it’s either the 14060, 16610 or 16600 that dares to get wet. And for 3 mo...
Cool- well it's made for that!

you wouldn't get many scratches under water anyway- just have it under the weat suit when you go in and out of the water- Diving with Kermit ...
Thanks for the advice Count.

I hear there are still some bezel inserts out there with flat 4 and they go for the price of what the Kermit was to start with!!!!
Congratulations.

I would also favor the 5 digit over the current Submariner. Proportions, visually, and on the wrist for me make it the better watch. But, the Hulk gains an exception as there is simply nothing like it (well, the blue white gold Sub but that’s a very diffe...
Thank you Jay

I get it, and the 6 digits are fine-wish they would redo some 5 digit subs though.
