Thanks for sharing, but we still need the picture of the watch to include a copy of today's newspaper in order to properly authenticate the date. Just kidding! Nice watch. :D

Thats not a daytona??? Are you kidding me?! If I had a better camera I would take a picture of the red wording around the bottom dial that says "DAYTONA" Oh well. There are always those who are hypocritical in response to their jealousy.

Darrell- that kind of kidding I have no problem with brother. Just people that are always hypocritical because he "knows" my watch. Brother of jealousy, would you like my address, and you can come authenticate it yourself?

You can send it to me, I'll authenticate it for you.

Haha, oh well. Like has been stated before, there are always few hypocrits. Anyways, I have proven myself. Enjoy the thread guys. I am happy it has been quite a learning experience for a few. :)

Subs are the most common rolex. This just makes it not as commom

I got tired of having the band brushed from desk diving.
That's a good idea my bracelet takes a beating.

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.

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:

My secret is simple (I think). My friend that use to work for Rolex told me from the moment I got it to make sure it fit snug on my wrist, that it didn't sit loose with any play.
I have worn it that way ever since and I guess it must work well indeed.
BTW, that drove me nuts to get use to as I hated a anything tight on my wrist.
Eventually, I got over it.
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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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