Rolex

Finally I have completed the steel sports watch trio I wanted. Submariner “Kermit” ceramic, Daytona “Panda”, GMT Master 2 “Pepsi”. I was too late to get the Hulk before it was discontinued but am very grateful to have received the new Kermit earlier this ...  

How does the new green sub wear on the wrist ? Does it wear slightly larger versus the hulk or even the gmt you own?

The Daytona wears a bit smaller. Ceramic 41mm Kermit, 40mm sub-c of Pepsi wear around the same to me Thanks again !

Love the middle one.

Your collection taste changed from MB, JLC to Rolex? Great trio, covered 3 good functions.👍🏻

Yes sick and tired of the Richemonts, Swatch, LVMH brands with their LEs after LEs (yet less demand and poor value each time lol). Rolex doesn’t need any LEs yet have such huge demand . Clearly they are doing it right and I respect that ! The difference b... 

Similar with me, I used to think “everyone” or almost too many, Singapore “uncles” , “A-longs”, wear Rolex and missing out on the fine prestigious brands of traditional watch making with nice movements etc....😂 My first Rolex is the Cellini Prince, becaus... 

Still having their Rolexes :p And there are many fakes in Singapore haha :p Cheers Robin

I went trough the same circle, same as you got tired of all the worries of high horology( I still admire them, but no need to own them). Rolex=throw it on the wrist and go... Nice trio, congratulations!

However, to comment on Rolex "doing it right" - some ten years ago I was still able to collect subs and daytonas at my AD with 25-30% off MRSP. Since then they have not really changed their business policy but market has gone crazy. I don't wear my Rolex ... 

Yes, market has shifted in 10 year, the current trend is clearly still steel sports models. But Rolex, AP, Patek are not the only brands with these steel sports offerings, JLC has them, VC has always had them, now lange also has 1. But those who have clea... 

Maybe through this competition ten years (and 15/20 years) ago I was able to walk in, pick a certain sub or Daytona and get that kind of percentage off MSRP. Not today anymore but at that time yes. I think some here will remember that e.g. the last Kermit... 

Especially when compared to indie brands like Dufour, KV, Laurent Ferrier, Hajime Asaoka (I’m still loving my new Tsunami!) , as well as below lange, PP, VC (at least those with geneva seals)

There is no superior or inferior groups of watches and we have the right to love any watches Well said.

Just wearing them lesser these days Cheers Robin

Their privately owned nature has some strengths when it comes to long term strategies instead of the pressures of delivering short term shareholder value

Keep at it and hopefully you can get the others too

Thats all you need.

I can close shop to my collection now Thank you !

Nice variance in looks/style. You have it covered nicely!

I’ve been through the rolexes, and am moving into the speedmaster and haute horologie domains, but fully recognize that I’ll eventually circle back to Rolex. Enjoy yours in good health Btw: those PCLs on the daytona look pristine. Hope that that not becau... 

Are fairly new and worn in rotation. The Kermit is a few days old, the Daytona less than 6 months and the Pepsi I recall I got it just before Christmas last year . Over time I am sure they will get some love marks lol

I never expected to be so fast too lol

:p

Would love to own any of them! Especially the Daytona.

Is my fav amongst the 3

... although I prefer the 116500 with a black dial, as well as the submariner ... I love black dials. Maybe that's why I like Rolex's professionals SS. There is only the YM that I like with its rhodium dial and again I think I would have taken it with a b... 

Speaking of AirKing , here is a pic I took of mine recently . ...  

An offbeat and modern style watch for a professional Rolex. It has often been disparaged but I like this watch. Mine is coming soon ... Best

The AK has quite a cult following here Let us know when yours is here and we can do a roll call !

Yes that’s the most important
