Very, very nice color, the iPhone photo doesn't do justice.... HAGWE! Ken, away from Tokyo to have some time-off.... ...  

. . . most Purists have (or had) at least one, but I wasn't sure if you were in the Rolex ranks. Art

My strike zone is relatively narrow, but I thought I should expand my world :-) But still testing phase, whether I will like it very much in the long run.... Thanks, Art! Ken

Awesome pair! Have a great weekend, Alex

but sold all of them (too common though it's the King) except one, 16610 Sub that I got from my dad for my 18th birthday, I am 44 now. It still got all the tags, anchors, receipt, pocket calendars (1989-1990), box, paper. Something I will not let go thoug... 

Love that one! Sold it for Pam 001 :((

but I have only one Rolex, though I have much more watches from other brands: Jlc's, GO's, Panerai etc. My Rolex is one of my best summer friend for 5 years, and I don't want to let her go, although there were some real good trade offers time to time... S...

I can only say BRAVO! Best, Nicolas

It is so easy to recognise a Persol? Because a Rolex... Thanks for your appreciate! Yours, Adam

I have to admit that in general I don’t like Rolex watches. Don’t get me wrong, they are fine watches and someone has to admire the brand for its truly rich history and unique approach they take in the industry. On the other hand, a Rolex is just too popu...  

PS: if you ever think of trading this Chrono, send me a line, pls ! - LoL,LoL

You made the right choice! :) HAGWE Blomman

Nice shots, BTW - needless to say !! Best to you & yours ! hs.

A small piece of everything! ;) Best Blomman

My story to this one is that I have started very, very late with watches and when I seeking the internet for watches I saw a copy of it with black bezel from Citizen and instantly loved the clear, round and strong design. Quite quickly I learned that it i...  

That would make half of Stockholm population criminals... Ah wait... They are! ;) HAGWE Blomman

So wear your Rolex proudly. ;) Best, Nicolas

I don't think I will be getting any new timepieces any time soon, but If I were to get the chance, strictly my preference, I'd get a blue 36mm 116000. It's perfectly simple and reminds me of my first watch. It's very much my style and I think it gives muc...

I like this one because it\'s less spoken of, but I am usually still reluctant to put it on much because it garners more attention than I would prefer, and it\'s not always the positive kind. Still, it bears all the history and hallmarks of Rolex and is f...
