Rolex

I am not sure if it is sporty at all but it is without doubt the most sporty watch I have! 

I would wear with jeans, shorts, bermudas, a t shirt and so on... give it a try

I think this watch is so versatile that it can be worn in every scenario!

No message body

I look forward to this watch surviving many others in my small collection. I now understand why when asked what was his favourite watch brand, Roger Smith replied "Rolex'! 

somehow, I sort of guessed it would be something like this. Looking forward to seeing it on your wrist soon

It had to be something as nice as this for me to sacrifice the SBW231 which I have been very happy with. What is the world coming to??!! You buying Pateks, me buying Grand Seiko and Rolex!!!   

No message body

while the other is making questionable purchases! No prizes for guessing which one you are Richard! 

For me when buying a watch, how it fits on the wrist triumphs above all.  So when I was told that the lovely Rolex Datejust on display was 36mm, my eyes lit up like a boy in a toy shop!  What am I saying?!  It was a toy shop!!!   

plus VAT and exchange rate in your favor, best way to get luxury items 👍🏻

but the exchange rate had no effect on me since I still do not have a Malaysian credit card, only a couple in pounds sterling!  It is quite interesting the number of stainless steel Rolex available in the UK compared to Malaysia where not a single Rolex AD seems to have any stock of stainless steel watches.  Wipe that thought! 

I suspect we have about the same wrist size. The Sub I have now is a tad too large at 40mm. I also hear u regarding your earlier comments re retired/unemployed (although I suspect you are simply being modest here). Perhaps we can catch up during the upcoming Patek SG event.

I hope to currently be in Singapore on Sunday 29 September and am booked for the noon entrance to the exhibition. Would love to meet up even if it is for a short while.  I am flying in for the day. Your hotels are beyond my Malaysian budget Jim! 

Im from SG so everytime I come home I stay at mom's. Pitty, I have tic for the Oct 2 morning. Im due back to SG on the 1st.

Will invite you out for a meal should you drop by.

will look you up the next time Im in KL

PM me and give a little notice please so I can leave the city  (just kidding!)   

The white dial really matches the WG fluted bezel very nicely, so overall the face of the watch looks so uniform. Great buy and I agree this is one Rolex that could still remain a daily ‘go to’ wear.
Wear it in good health for ever!

I felt the same about the dial too which convinced me this Rolex would be a keeper. 

The perfect watch is what we all aspire to. I think this watch is going to be an old workhorse and a watch I will always be able to count on.

It is these 2 qualities where Rolex is in a league of its own.

the resale value of Rolex is so strong even compared with Patek. Theoretically any watch fully machine made with an annual production of over a million has no right to demand such an amazing resale value but this has a knock on effect as it makes buying a Rolex especially a steel one almost a no brainer because apart from enjoying the watch, it could prove to be a prudent investment.

Knowing your preference for dress watches, this can work in any setting and must be one of the most versatile piece that Rolex makes in my view.

Build quality and movement robustness doesn’t hurt either.. looking forward to your views on the nautilus and this piece.

That won't happen for awhile until Patek decide I am worthy of the Nautilus which hopefully will happen within the next 18 months.  Thank you for your kind comments!  On a separate note, will you be going to Singapore for you know what??!! 

I have yet to confirm when I can make the trip but most likely I would aim for the second weekend 5 Oct.

You planning to be there the first weekend?

That is just in case some of the limited editions win me over!
