Decided to put it on after watching the Hurley Haywood interview on Hodinkee..

His AK was really worn with a lot of scratches all around. Looked really nice. I wish I was that carefree with my watches but my OCD gets in the way. I don’t mind getting to that point where it has a lot of wear but the journey to get to that would drive me nuts!

Anyway, this will probably be my watch ‘til Easter. Enjoy your day folks smile


Lovely lighting

I find the dial a bit too busy for my liking but it definitely has some charm, enjoy it in good health!

I understand how it can appear busy. Why it also took me awhile to pull the trigger. But i usually am a sucker for anomalies especially from Rolex.

I watched that talking watches.

Must be nice to have Rolex as a sponsor… (and Porsche)!
Your watch looks great. And you don’t have to beat it up to wear it. I’m with you on this one.

I know, right? I got a kick out of that datejust where it was first given to him on a “rubber band” after being seen wearing a timex..

Porsche + Rolex = wow! And happens to be a nice gent too!

One of Rolexes which i really like, but don't own yet. Great shot!

How cool, this photo. But less cool than the watch. ;)

 
 By: amanico : March 28th, 2024-04:29

Indeed. After watching that Haywood interview..

I was wondering if you folks in the automotive forum would ever consider an AK as a driving watch. It was about trying to break speed records after all.

I do!

 
 By: amanico : March 28th, 2024-08:18

Hehe I can imagine it on a racing strap.

 
 By: Echi : March 28th, 2024-08:35

Exactly what I have in mind... ;)

Great pic.

When you’re sponsored by Rolex it would be easier to “Shake and bake” the watches.
Mine says hi.


Indeed! :-)

Love the shot

When I buy a watch thinking ‘it’ll be my beater, I still hate the thought of scratches. So I got a G-Shock too so now that takes all the beatings.

Hehe that would be Seiko for me :-)

 
 By: Echi : March 28th, 2024-10:59

Also a good choice 😀
