Re: Non CW of the Day
As some of you know, my Dad passed away yesterday evening. The reposal is this evening and the funeral is tomorrow. Wearing the 1928 Rolex 912 'Tank' as it is in the family from new so is the perfect choice. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231119/0024a05f225b5a02c0e4042409a0fb6e.jpg Very sorry t...

Re: Other people’s perceptions
Au Contraire, I have, and I agree with you that not all who own Rolex are flash etc. I was making a somewhat sarcastic remark, mainly because a platinum Daytona is expensive.

Re: Other people’s perceptions
In 1985 I bought a GMT Master from the Duty Free shop in the Hilton Hotel in Agana, Guam. I wore the watch daily for over five years, the GMT function being useful in my work as a aircraft radio technician.

Two of the four are Steinharts, Ocean 39 GMT and Ocean 39 Vintage; the others are Invicta watches, one a Reserve, and the other a 4469 Diver. Crown action and movem...

Re: MoonSwatch Mission to Moonshine Gold - only today!
When the originals came out, I was hyped to possibly get one. The lack of the promised online availability and the ensuing secondary price escalation simply made me sit back and wait for the excitement to die down. If I cannot get the things here in Cincinnati, and at the original price, then "...
