Hi Art, Well I suppose there is a story, but in many ways the “charms of vintage Rolex”, as you say, are apparent in the picture I posted. Namely the wonderful plexiglass that bends and morphs the dial when viewed at different angles and the creamy butter...
...that you afford any credit at all to the one-on-one counselling session ( he blushed.... ), but don't think for a moment that you can avoid the group therapy . We're all waiting impatiently now for that left-field horological self-analysis as only you ...
Thanks Jeff, I was initially drawn to these old Submariners (this 5513 is from 1966) because of the yummy patina of the tritium markers. However, now it is on my wrist I am really enjoying the visual effect of the thick plexiglass. Thanks also for your he...
... awesome ! Great catch, and that plexi is so very, very sexy! Congrats on a great vintage piece! Here's a piece I WISH I was wearing on my wrist this Friday after seeing it at the JLC Boutique yesterday: Cheers, and have a great weekend! Daos This mess...
I can't get it out of my head. I like the size of the case, the cool gray of the dial, and the romantic day/night indicator. It's really so beautiful to me. Alright, I better get back to work on my pictures! Daos
Thanks Steven, Your great Submariner collection and photos pushed me in this direction too. I am a slow learner, but I am starting to see what all the 'fuss' is about. Really enjoying wearing this most basic 5513. Andrew
. . . but they're pretty damn good at the essentials, too! With all due respect for the rest of your JLC collection, Nico, the Chronometre is my favorite . . . warmest regards, Art
Brilliant analogy -- I know deep down inside that it's silly, but it's exactly that thing about looking down, seeing this watch on your wrist and feeling that you should be at least a match for the guy with the Timex Ironman...(full disclosure: I do actua...
thanks for reminder dear Art it was huge success in my young days no to say that we have lot to explain to our parents why we need knife suddenly and not a bicycle All the best Damian
If I do, it'll be unplanned, and you never want to be invited to an unplanned meeting on Friday in corporate America -- not these days anyway... Best, Jed
. . . which is where management likes to handle potentially 'difficult' cases . . . less attention, fewer co-workers, and security conveniently at hand . . .
I once had a client (SVP of sales for a large corporation) who would only fire guys at an airline club (he favored the Red Carpet Club in Denver) -- do it at a table in the middle of the room, so that there were strong disincentives to cause a scene, and ...
Yes, it's 45mm but it doesn't really feel so big because the black color hides its size... This message has been edited by chazlin on 2009-11-15 06:03:43
and you get to see the date pointer jump over the tourbi. No matter what, if I owned this watch, I would always wear it in the middle of the month. But I was expecting to see something with a Maltese Cross....you teased a week or two ago and then left us ...
...do you mean either a) you will take photos or videos of the date jump on your Master Tourbi or b) you wil reveal what is attached to the Maltese Cross? LOL. respo
my friend...... I meant that tonight it will change- sorry I am not that good in taking video. However it is a good idea and I will try to do it..... Cheers
tried to make a video last night but..... failed miserably as I fell asleep a few minutes before..... However I will soon post a review of this watch and try to include a video.... Cheers
I just fell off my chair...laughing. I will look forward to your review, Pink. I assume the date change occurred without a hitch, even if you weren't watching. respo
this is my latest aquisition to go in the 'oriental' themed section. its an Orient star 'somes'. i've wanted one for a long time due to the beautiful brown dial. it was released in partnership with Somes who are Japans biggest equestrian leather makers he...
thanks Art, thanks Ginger. it was a dort of impulse purchase after being outbid on an Orient Star Royal handwind, but its better than i expected, far better to be honest. my 2 Azimuths have been delayed until december as new releases often are, but i was ...
