and nice watch :thumbsup

the thing is a 5 dollar watch tells the same time as a rolex. i suppose if i had so much money i might as well throw it away i might buy one but i'd sooner put money back into the business than buy useless toys.

Mine was the same color and everything. Holy shit, Glen - you rattled my head into a zone where it hasn't been for many years. Now I want it again :1orglaugh

nice watches

rather go camping

Nice watch, congrats :thumbsup

ah darn. one can dream

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I had this watch too! completely forgot about it, seeing the pic reminded me how much I loved it. good times.

Poor me. I have RADO.

thanks guys. It's probably the last watch I'll ever buy. I highly recommend the brand. Sinn is manufactured in German, uses Swiss made movements, and are incredibly robust, good looking, and reasonably priced. Everyone I've dealt with at Sinn have been wonderful.

I had the all gold version of that years ago, got tired of it and sold it. Nice watch though:thumbsup

i can see why this is your favorite, it is a handsome rugged masculine watch.
really nice. what does it cost?
diamonds are not for me, on girls i think it looks sexy and stylish though.

small penis alert

:warning

I've seen the Explorer II ref 1655 go as low as 8k USD for a really beat up model in need of a full service, and as high as 50-60K USD for a pristine model with box and papers.

:1orglaugh at the obligatory "I can tell the time on my phone" comments.

Nice watch man, congrats. Rolex is classic watches. I prefer Porsche Design...

Good choice, beautiful watch :thumbsup

I would NEVER buy a Rolex watch...
Their design is awful and tasteless (to me at least).

I would rather buy Longines, Tissot, Patek Philippe, Tag Heuer, Breitling... in that price range.
There are many better looking and better quality watches for the price of Rolex (or even for less)

As for top of the line, I'd love to own a Vacheron Constantin or Ulysse Nardin watch.
But these can cost a fortune... "Time is money in deed...

Don't want to offend anyone with this post - just my 2c on watch topic...
Hope the Rolex will serve you well and that you'll be happy with it...


PS:
I would also never buy a fashion brand watch like Armani, D&G etc...
These will last 2-3 years and after that will stop working and they can't be repaired because of their poor built quality (mostly built in china from poor materials and using low quality components). This is so you dump it in the trash and go back to the Armani store and you buy a new one.

The time is passes quickly but if you wear a single watch all the time it will somehow slow down things.
That's the reason you should buy a quality watch and wear it for a long time.
I said that I would like to own V.C. or U.N. - and I'd like to add - the older - the better...
To bad my grandpa didn't own one so I could inherit one...

Nice watches!

i prefer mont blanc :thumbsup

I can never understand people wasting so much money on "Watches".

It's probably one of the last things I would waste money on, even if I had millions and millions to waste.

I agree, never understood dsign of rolex, its so crappy. Although it has some charm as "classic".

Have you seen how much money people waste on jewelry that does not even show time?
There is no rational "point", its jewelry.

Wrong, they can easily be repaired, and no they do not last only 2-3 years. Yes they are not much better than cheaper watch brands such as Casio's, but even Casio for 50Eur can be easily repaired and worn for decade or more.
Might be that you had experience with fake DG/Armani watch.

There are a comparative few number of consumer products that are so well designed and made that they have become cultural icons. It's not the glitz or snob appeal that keeps them alive, but the quality of the craftsmanship. Victorinox Swiss Army knives are a good example, Casio G-Force watches are another, as well as cameras from Nikon and lenses from Zeiss. Without dispute, Rolex is part of that list of the best consumer products ever made and that's why we are talking about them here. People who know them respect them.

I got my first, the two-tone Datejust, at the Army PX at Robinson Barracks in Stuttgart during the Cold War. I got it for an obscenely inexpensive price because they guy who ordered it out of the catalog for delivery there got cold feet. So, the PX discounted it from the military catalog price. After I had it on layaway - because an Army JAG Captain's salary didn't permit me to buy it outright - the PX had a special event discounting every item on layaway by 20% if you paid it off that day - and that's how I got it for about $875 when the list price was $2,500 and the military price was like $1,350. It's been in twice for service in 30 years but it still runs like a gazelle and still looks like it did the day I bought it. The green leather and wood box shows more wear than the watch. It's pretty dressy, so a GMT Master has become my everyday watch. I like and respect Seikos and Casios and Sector - I have a few of each, and each has its distinctive best quality and purpose, but none of them feel like a Rolex. Honest. And you should see the look on my dogs' faces when I put them up to their ears! Even they love to hear that movement in action.

congrats man., looks great,

Congrats :pimp

wow this is cool :)

Congrats. I have a 2013 Submariner and love it.

Love the rolex's!

nice watches ;)

Few years ago i picked up an Emporio Armani watch in BKK. 2k Baht. Still works and when i take it in to get a new strap most shops can't tell it's fake.

Congrats, nice classic model :thumbsup

Rolex is the cheapest watch you can buy....

Why ? There is such a demand for Good Conditions Rolexes, you can enjoy it for a few years and AT WORST, resell it for the same price you paid. No other watch can achieve that. I LOVE Brietlings, but the aftermarket demand is way lower, so if you ever want to resell it, you'll have to wait or discount it.

Rolex is not just a watch it's a form of estate you can pass on for generations...

Bought my first (Yachtmaster 2 tones/champagne) many year ago, now it's worth near double what I paid for, still in pristine condition.

Bought my 2nd one from a friend of all here in 2004 (Black SS Submariner), now worth about 1.5 times what I paid for.

Event the nicest Timex you pay let's say 200-300$ in few years will worth next to nothing... :2 cents:

As one said, there is no logic behind that, 'it's jewelry'. Some will pay $$$$ for the latest 5D GagaMouch 1000 inches TV set, I won't.. To each their thing ! :thumbsup

answer is simple... If I would decide to sell the Rolex in 10 years, I would probably get the same amount of money for it that I paid for it... why it is a waste?

Try to do the same with a car :winkwink:

Btw, I would never buy a high end watch like Rolex brand new, always pre owned.

The moment you walk out of the store with your brand new watch... the price drops 30% within 2 seconds

what he said :thumbsup

I like Rolexes but that is not quite true anymore, at least not with new ones.

I don't think he was talking about new ones... pre-owned is the way to go with (most) expensive watches

You're lost.

decent watch, but definitely not my style
