For the rolex adventure, you first need to wear an explorer. ;D :Cheers:
No point ending the journey my dear friend, not even for the time being. The Mayans say this year 21/12/2012 is the end of the journey for everyone on planet earth. You should continue with the hobby right till the end. On 21/12/2012, make sure you wear an Omega Speedmaster Professional or better a X-33 MIssion to Mars and hope that when the earth blows up and sends you (or what's left of you) flying to Mars, you will still have a watch on your wrist when make contact with Red Planet. Good luck.
I think the only Rolex that has ever been to space (and unofficially) is the 1675 GMT. So it's wise to stick to an Omega. ;D ;D ;D

Abel,
At some point of our life, we tend to get bored of things we accumulated during the early years. Being said, I am a 70% recovered watchacholic? at one point or another...
Something new comes in to replace the present interest...be it a new physical love life and / or material things like camera?.
Given time, we may looked back and say ahhhhhh......

David,
After being accumulating more watch than i can wear. I had decided to cull all of them and downsize into a manageable amount. Hence i end up getting this rolex. I feel dumb to go for lesser grade watch and in the end i lost most of the value in those watch. I wish i could had the patient and get this rolex outright instead of settling for subtitute. I could have saved $ by doing so :Scolding:
I am taking up cycling to fill up my pass time and to build up some fitness on myself but i keep crashing = out of action due to injuries twice already (currently healing from 2nd crash lol)
Thanks for your word of advice david :Cheers:
-
Good for you, Abel. Not too late to come into some sense. For me, I have culled most of the 'other' make and keep to one " you know what" ......
cheers and keep well.

-
From the packaging, definitely ain't vintage.
And not the newer ceramic sub or gmtiic packaging as well.
A young chap like you would not go the route of datejusts...
So, my guess is it's either a 14060M 4 line sub, 16610 Sub date or a 16600 Sea-Dweller.

Yup, i find it so hard to sell those "culled" watch for cash. Managed to sell some of it but most of it its hard to sell even its "well known" brand. Oh well, I learned the hard lesson of collecting watches

You are right, datejust is not my kind of watch man... just dont like the bling bling on it :HammerHead: ;D
-
dont mean to burst your bubble la..but honestly, you cant stop..now you taste rolex, the next is audemar piguet royal oak. Unless suddenly you just cease to like watches and look at them as 'just a watch', then you can truly stop..i think once you work you will buy again :Laughing_on_floor:
-
I agree but Hanz we may not truly know what's in these young chaps' mind.
With yellow gold and flashy colors coming back as the next "in" thing.
This is my guess: 2012 Safari Joe Daytona Starlight edition.

I think matching undergarment is available as an option ;)
p/s I don't judge. ;D

This is too bling bro not my style to be honest :HammerHead:

Style can change to match the watch. Just ask the risti. They will tell you story on how they alter their shirt's sleeves to accompany those 47mm luminor.
It happen all the time, quite common actually. :)
Goes better with darker skin tone so if you love outdoor activities it's a bonus.

Liv remarried? I didn't know that. Last time I spoken to her was about 10 years ago. She wanted to start a family, really into the children thing but I told her that's not how I roll. She cry and then we split up. I should have kept her by my side instead of letting her off with that british idiot. >:(
Hope you take care of her, man and give her lotsa children.
ps she likes to be tickle on the back of her left ear. ;)

More appropriately the Norgay's watch.

I will be surprised (but pleasantly surprised) if its true. A young man choosing the understated Explorer 1 as his grail Rolex. Whichever, don't forget to share why you make the choice.

I was out of line. I apologize.
Actually back in the 60s the term "gay" actually means gay(happy) not a reference for homosexual.
I was being cheeky... Norgay ... gay? Happy?
Happy watch? You get what I mean ;)
Not a joke aiming at people with small wrist.

It is one of those things that we will never know I guess. The funny thing is, in the letter Hillary wrote to Smiths 'I carried your watch to the summit. It worked perfectly'. Why carried and not 'wear'?
Tenzing's Rolex was given to him by his friend and mountaineer Raymond Lambert.

There were no Explorer model at the time. What rolex did is to take their normal production watch and fit it with special oil and part to make the watch durable for the expedition. These were in a way "prototype". The Explorer 1 were born out of these research.
Hope this help.

since we're still waiting for the unveiling and on the topic of mountaineering, I am always more intrigued by the question of George Mallory and Andy Irvine reaching the summit first before perishing. The facts seemed to suggest no but the romanticism (Mallory's guts in wanting to try against all odds, having young Irvine as a companion to reach the summit and the promise by Mallory to his wife that he will leave her photo on the summit) in us would love a twist to the story.
To add to the spice, Mallory's body was found many years later and they could not find the photo. Interestingly, it seemed that he was wearing a Rolex? (although there's also a dispute to this)
http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=190283
To be fair. Sir Hillary did said (in a respectful manner) that even if MAllory reached the top, a complete conquering of any high altitude mountains should include a successful descent because the journey down is equally dangerous...
