Enlighten us?

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Touching up a brushed finish is quite easy. There's a tool that looks like a pencil eraser that fixes the brused finish.

When a watch has a mix of polish and brushing you have to be careful.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Those are a ***** maintain.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

That is the pain in the rear with my Concord Saratoga.
It has both polished and brushed on the stainless part.
The 18 Kt is all polished.
It is an awesome and comfortable watch but I rarely wear it.

Here is what that one looks like:

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Hey thanks for the tip :tu. I wear mine loose on my wrist, I think I will take it in and have them take a link out. I have the same issue, I hate tight things on my wrist; reminds me of handcuffs...but that's another story.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Handcuffs are not fun.:r

I think the concept works of tight around the wrist because if you think about it, if it is loose and gets stretched by your wrist constantly as you use it, eventually, it loosens the links.
By sitting tight on the wrist, that minimizes the chances of that stretching.
As to the tight feel, doesn't have to choke you. Just don't have it with any play on it that allows it to drop. After a while, you get use to it.

BTW,
Same with my wife's. Looks like new.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

I figured he was joking. Deadpan sardonic humor doesn't always work well in print.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

I think Rolex use hollow links (on some models) to make it feel super light, or they are not using pins through the links.

Does this happen with all their bracelets or just the Jubilee type?

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

ALL.

You should see some of the Presidential gold bracelets I have seen.
A total worn down mess.
With the gold it is much worse than with stainless.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

The watch is heavy, but the band isnt so bad.. When I saw it I expected it to be heavier.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

and you expected it to be real also?

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

There's a lesson to be learned here Colin.

You may or may not be an a$$, based on the validity of your story of ownership of a watch (or car, fish, shoes, etc.).

Picture or not, dated newspaper, signature (yada yada) there is no way to absolutely prove ownership to those who wish not to believe and have their own agendas\issues - and prove their own a$$-ness.

Wear the watch in pride of having earned it - not in what it will represent to others.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Rolex is not a heavy watch, especially the band. The case is average weight for its size which in not that big compared to other chrono's like Baume Mercier or Breitling.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Oh, I know. If you look at his bezel and the bezel from the Daytona on Rolex's website, you're going to notice quite a few differences. :2

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

I was looking at Daytonas the other day at jewlery store I happen to walk in. It looks like there are several faces and maybe a couple of bezels? Can't say for sure on the bezel, but ther are different dials for sure.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Yeah their are face variations, but their don't seem to be any bezel variations, at least not what I have seen. :2

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

and also please look up the definition of a hypocrite

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

I have assembled a small collection of Quotes from Colin the $12,000 Rolex Daytona, in addition to several thousand $ in other mentioned watches he owned already, High School Student Buyer who does not own a camera, oh I mean has a camera but battery is charging on a shi...y camera:

I loved the Diesel I had, just can't afford a box. :/

I don't have the unlimited cigar fund going.. I am a student, so finding the least expensive, good sticks is my priority.

Know anywhere I can get Opus X singles?

I am a high school student, so I know how you feel!

I am sorry, please explain, and I will try to clear it up for you.
Never mind. I just looked up the single Opus X and saw the price.. I didn't know that they were that expensive!!!' I am guessing that is what was confusing everyone..

Since I throw pocket change and singles and fives into a jar on top of my dresser every night, that will become my new cigar fund.

Just the change I accumulate from the gas station, convenience store, vending machines, wal mart/target. Stuff like that.

I also have a few Omegas, tag heurs, and other assorted watches.

I wish my camera would charge faster so I could take some pictures

My dad and I split the cost as I have made a 3.5+ for my entire high school career so far

Once Again: B.S. is what I hear and everyone else is welcome to make their own decision.

Guys, the O.P. hasn't posted in this thread for 10 days. Seriously, let it go. :2

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Just for information purposes, there are different bezels for different Daytona models. The bezel is based on the year of the release and sometimes even on the model itself (gold, presidential, etc).

Re: Rolex Owners question
 

I have a $100 watch that keeps perfect time and 25k invested that makes me 8 to 18% returns. Should I cash out and get a Rolex?

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

The only rolex store i've ever seen was in the bahamas and i bought one, well not from there but the flea market next store. So much cheaper, it was a deal.... :D

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Can't afford a watch.I have to resort to a sun dial.........;)

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

I've been into Rolex for a while now. Really like the Daytona as well. The SS Daytonas are tough to find, at least they used to be. Also like the look of the 50th anniversary Sub. Some nice new models over the last few years, like the new GMT with ceramic dial.

Re: Rolex Owners question
 

No, you should PM me the name of your broker. :)

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

One of the best new one's along with Yachtmaster II which is quite a compelling watch from Rolex and probably the only one I would put on my "want list".

Re: Rolex Owners question
 

If you want to.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

I have a seiko. I paid 280, I thought that was much too steep for a watch. I found it online later that week for 180. I know I'll never exceed 200 again for a watch. There's just no need.

Chris Farley?

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

I wasn't going to say too much until I came across his post in the golf banter.....

"par 4 teed it up and hit over close to the treeline, right under a branch. 50 yards out hit my 7 popped it right next to the pin (8 feet out) tapped it in for birdie.
Posted via Mobile Device "

If this kid knew anything about golf he would know what iron to use when 50 yards from a cup. :td

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Pitch and run?
I personally suck at golf so I don't make believe I know how to play it.:D

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Although given the pictures are not really clear, it does appear to be a Daytona. :2

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

well being a kid, although old enough to probably have over 50yds range on his 7 iron, I would believe it except for the fact that he would not hit his drive 50yds out on a par 4 if that were the case. Also why would you use a higher loft club if you were right under a tree?

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Simple, he said he was under a branch....you will not be hitting anything straight above your head so using a higher iron isn't an issue. Also, he said he meant his 9 iron so bringing this up is useless.

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

How is this thread even allowed to continue? :r

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Because punk ass kids like you always bump it with dumb comments :rolleyes:

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Ya know, if I stopped buying cigars, pipes, and pipe tobaccos for a while I could probablybuy a Rolex with what I'd have...hmmm....watch? Nah, got two already, and I bust them up fast...wouldn't want to do that to a Rolex...:D

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

:tpd:
Though I can't for the life of me figure out why. Nothing interesting about a Rolex to me. Patek, Vacheron, Lange, those are another story :tu

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

I think what he meant, is why haven't the mods locked a thread thats pretty much 8 pages of bashing on the kid... ;)

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

but then we wouldn't have the asshats out and posting

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

Totally uncalled for....

:rolleyes:

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

well there are many ways to be under a tree and not hit it 90* in the air and still clip a tree.... and if you are 50yds out trying to drop it on the green, you generally get a pretty decent amount of air under your ball, hence the worry of hitting a tree.

Not to mention, you wouldn't use a 7 iron to make that shot, unless you only hit a 7 iron 50 yds.... and if he drove it to within 50yds of the green on a par 4, chances are he can hit a 7 iron more than that distance.


but I digress, and am going to try like hell to let this thread die haha

Re: Rolex Owners?..
 

As a Rolex owner, if I said it was the looks that attracted me, it would be akin to saying I am going blind, although classic beauty appeals to me.

If I said I had a clue how the insides worked, I'd be a liar.

I brush it lightly with a toothbrush and mild detergent when it's dirty and get pissed when I have to reset it after 2 days off and it stopped running from not being worn. Looks as good as the day I got it.

If I said I'm a closet materialistic jerk who likes the look of it on my wrist, I'd be speaking accurately. I bought it solely because of the name and what my perception of that name is.

I enjoy talking about it with fellow Rolex owners and normally avoid conversations with those who don't own one as there is usually too much explaining for me.

For me, it represents something that was a total spluge and was something I always wanted butalways had other stuff I needed to pay for first. The years went by, and I was in my 40's and although it wasn't on the top of my priorities, it remained a strong desire.

Aside from a wedding band, it is the only piece of jewelry I will wear.

Every time I put it on my wrist, it reminds me of 2007, my best sales year ever, before the recession was a thought, and something only for me as the floors and kitchen were being done for my wife.

In hindsight, the money could have been better spent in a more responsible way, but I'm glad it wasn't.

Probably makes some think less of me, but in the vast majority of the cases, that's totally cool with me.

Colin, I hope yours brings you happiness, even if it's fake.

King James do you have a reading disability? I said I used a 9 iron. Typing on my virtual keyboard on my phone in class is a pain.
