It's genuinely made me stop looking at other watches totally as this is the last watch I'll ever buy for myself. For what I want from a watch, it is 100% perfect and I still love looking at it 6 months in.
Most comfortable watch I've ever owned!

I picked up this gorgeous Submariner 16800 yesterday. My first ever Rolex. It's from 1980 which is my birth year...I love the creamy plots and matching hands...It's in amazing condition for an almost 36 year old watch and it has some warranty as well. Can't stop looking at it!
I really can see what all the fuss is about now!

Enjoying this post.
Some day an early ZenithDaytona will come into the picture and some yellow gold. The pull of vintage is strong. Sorry for the quality of some pictures.
Today and yesterday's .
Gold did call
Last of an era
14060
a disaster
Should never let go
And another
Rare LV?
Could not warm to
The favourite, unpolished gilt 5508

That Daytona is very special. Thanks for sharing
Just picked this up last week. 16570 A serial.
Tried it on a perlon at first as the 'Rolex rattle' was distracting.
I then worked out a way of fixing the rattle and went back to the oyster, but as I write this now on my iPad, the rattle is back!
This pic was taken with the watch in a metal bucket :-)

Nice photograph showing the sub on a nato!
I will have to try this at some point. I also really like the tritium dials on the older models… I have included a photo of my 16610 below:

Sorry I don't know why my photo won't show even though it is under 2MB.
