Had a nice chat with the Rolex folks at Harrods in London. Asked about availability of certain modems. Said they like to build “organic relationships” with customers. Had to look that one up. Message was you gotta buy a few things to access subs
Continue readingWell.. i just turned down ‘the call’ (for the watch i didn’t ask for).
The AD called me yesterday and offered me a Mint-Green Dial 41mm Datejust on an Oyster bracelet.
Continue readingIt wasn’t the watch I’ve asked for.
It’s not a color I’m fond of.
But I probably would have bought it if it had the Jubilee bracelet..
After calling back today and politely saying ‘no thank you’, I asked how far down the list I am for one I did ask for.
“It will still be another 5-6 years.. now”
The dude didn’t need to say ‘now’.. that part was just hurtful
Aftermarket alternative bracelet
Trying to save the 16610’s OEM bracelet/clasp and find something that has a low profile clasp to fit everything neatly inside my dress shirt cuff.
I ordered the Forstner bracelet already and they are in transit. But it seems like a pretty tall clasp….
Oyster Perpetual Lavender Question
Looking for an OP lavender 31 or 34, AD said they’ll add one of the sizes to wishlist but no guidance on when the watch would arrive.
Chrono prices are $12000+ but not sure if it’ll decrease soon, and how much it may decrease, so not sure if to buy th…

I have the NFC service card and it’s in…
Buying my first Rolex: Sub Date vs. DJ Wimbledon
Hello guys!
I am buying my first Rolex. There is a great chance it will be my only one, since I am far from being a "fanboy" of a single watchmaker, and will be adding other brand pieces to my small (at least for now) collection.
I am deb…

I’ve drifted in and out of owning a rolex for many years now. But last year, I came to the conclusion that it’s hard to beat rolex for the perfect combination of design, comfort, engineering, toughness and overall quality of execution the price point. …
Continue readingDoes loctite on bracelet goes loose after encountering higher temperture?
