There's a lesson to be learned here Colin.

You may or may not be an a$$, based on the validity of your story of ownership of a watch (or car, fish, shoes, etc.).

Picture or not, dated newspaper, signature (yada yada) there is no way to absolutely prove ownership to those who wish not to believe and have their own agendas\issues - and prove their own a$$-ness.

Wear the watch in pride of having earned it - not in what it will represent to others.

Rolex is not a heavy watch, especially the band. The case is average weight for its size which in not that big compared to other chrono's like Baume Mercier or Breitling.

Oh, I know. If you look at his bezel and the bezel from the Daytona on Rolex's website, you're going to notice quite a few differences.

I was looking at Daytonas the other day at jewlery store I happen to walk in. It looks like there are several faces and maybe a couple of bezels? Can't say for sure on the bezel, but ther are different dials for sure.

I have assembled a small collection of Quotes from Colin the $12,000 Rolex Daytona, in addition to several thousand $ in other mentioned watches he owned already, High School Student Buyer who does not own a camera, oh I mean has a camera but battery is charging on a shi...y camera:

I loved the Diesel I had, just can't afford a box. :/

I don't have the unlimited cigar fund going.. I am a student, so finding the least expensive, good sticks is my priority.

Know anywhere I can get Opus X singles?

I am a high school student, so I know how you feel!

I am sorry, please explain, and I will try to clear it up for you.
Never mind. I just looked up the single Opus X and saw the price.. I didn't know that they were that expensive!!!' I am guessing that is what was confusing everyone..

Since I throw pocket change and singles and fives into a jar on top of my dresser every night, that will become my new cigar fund.

Just the change I accumulate from the gas station, convenience store, vending machines, wal mart/target. Stuff like that.

I also have a few Omegas, tag heurs, and other assorted watches.

I wish my camera would charge faster so I could take some pictures

My dad and I split the cost as I have made a 3.5+ for my entire high school career so far

Once Again: B.S. is what I hear and everyone else is welcome to make their own decision.

Just for information purposes, there are different bezels for different Daytona models. The bezel is based on the year of the release and sometimes even on the model itself (gold, presidential, etc).

I have a $100 watch that keeps perfect time and 25k invested that makes me 8 to 18% returns. Should I cash out and get a Rolex?

I've been into Rolex for a while now. Really like the Daytona as well. The SS Daytonas are tough to find, at least they used to be. Also like the look of the 50th anniversary Sub. Some nice new models over the last few years, like the new GMT with ceramic dial.

No, you should PM me the name of your broker.

One of the best new one's along with Yachtmaster II which is quite a compelling watch from Rolex and probably the only one I would put on my "want list".
