What is your "go-to" Rolex
I was wondering this issue...I want to go out, but I am not sure what I am going to do. I could go swimming. Maybe go hiking. Maybe some lunch. Maybe a meeting in the afternoon. I want a low-key, under-the-radar watch to wear that can be worn with many di...
Among the few Rolex I have - it would be....
The Explorer II. Great for any situation + the extra timezone! :) Best Blomman ...
Ahh the Explorer II ...
I miss my pair (Black and White) a lot. I may get one (not rusty but not new) and ask to my watchmaker to remove the cyclops. With a leather strap, it may be less risky to "walk here, on the wild side". Cheers, Nilo
The Explorer is the watch to go with.
But if you add travels in your plans, then the Bruiser is an even better choice. Have fun! Nicolas
obviously it is a 1016 !!!!!
luckily i have two then i am always ready ;-) for wine tasting at work urban kit & dessert ...
hello Joe! my go-to Rolex is a 14064M Sub...
... with leather straps. I feel that wearing it without its Oyster bracelet takes off some of its "Rolex identity" which is something desirable while walking in some places in my city or in certain situations here. It is a tough and reliable watch that th...
leather
band is working nicely on this no date sub. I have the two line version, i might place a vintage strap on it as well!
Thank you for your comments Emalit! As a matter of fact...
... leather should not be the best option for a diving watch if you intend to wear the watch in water, dive, etc. I wear this watch with its original Oyster bracelet when scuba diving. But for informal daily wear I love the use of leather straps on my wat...
I would have to say the Rolex 16660 comes out often
Basically the Rolex 666 offers a lot namely I don't worry about scratches on the crystal or case for that matter. But having said that I have added another vintage choices that are getting a lot of wrist time and no worries about scratches. The The Fat La...
Bill....
....i think i have a mental check-list that eliminates a watch for me..... If i am going to be swimming, then essentially any watch from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s gets eliminated. Plexi similarly goes. .....if I am going to be anywhere that could scratch...
I usually pick my 16800 Tiffany & Co.
It's my travel watch because it can face any sitation and has everything for the modern life. Patina and rarity are the icing on the cake. ...
With a 16800
you have the comfort of knowing that it is modern enough to protect that dial....as yes, with that patina and being a Tiffany ....you get that extra joy of seeing something rare on your wrist. On this front, there is an edge over the Explorer...indeed
GMT II "Coke"
* Waterproof/ diver * GMT complication (useful for overseas business and travel) * Coke can be dressed up or down * Robust for everyday wear; Basically scratchproof
Explorer 1 and Sub for me, Baron...
Love ´em both!! Now, if I wanted to tone the Sub down a bit, I swap the Oyster bracelet for nato bands and those do the trick marvelously. Looking forward in seeing more of your all-terrain pair, Baron! Both super cool and classic! Cheers, Alex ...
the sister left the house 2 years ago
and is missed from time to time, but gone for good. ...
Guilty pleasure
In all honesty I have to admit that the steel/yellow gold GMT is a guilty pleasure and I regret selling it.
