Rolex Owners?..

colinb913 · 03-30-2010, 08:34 PM

Well, I just got my first rolex today! It is a Rolex Daytone Cosmograph. It is a gorgeous watch, and will be putting pictures up as soon as possible..

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

Anyone out there own a rolex of their own?

Blueface · 03-30-2010, 08:37 PM

Congrats.
Almost bought that one 14 years ago.
Didn't know how hot they would become.
I own an Oyster Perpetual, tow tone.

Yowza! Congratulations!

I keep telling my older kids they're spending my Corvette money on college, and they better darn well make it worth it.

I wish my camera would charge faster so I could take some pictures.. But here is a picture I found on photobucket of the exact same watch.

markem · 03-30-2010, 08:48 PM

here is the official Rolex site photo of my watch. Have had it 7 years now.

colinb913 · 03-30-2010, 08:50 PM

That is a beautiful watch, but I don't care for the date being magnified.. I don't like the date on any watch.. Even though I have a few that have the date.. Haha

Wait until you get to my age. You will really appreciate that magnification.

Here is a picture of the same one I have.

colinb913 · 03-30-2010, 08:56 PM

Haha, yeah. I think so. The daytona has dials in the back to display the date.. Its a really neat watch.

CigarNut · 03-30-2010, 09:43 PM

No Rolex here... I have a Tissot

Yes it is a very nice watch and at over $12,000 it seems rather nice for another addition to a High School Student Collection as when a while back you were inquiring about $30-50 cigars saying you did not know they were so expensive and would be too much for you as a high school student........ Once again something does not smell quite right here.

I have a plain submariner. Had it for 18 years, wear it every day, looks like I just bought it.
Keeps crappy time, but it's a very nice watch.

Can't wait to see the one you bought.

What model Omega & Tag do you have?

I was offerred one by a guy on a corner in Chicago once and he opened his jacked. You should have seen all the watches and necklaces he had but then IceHog3 came to my rescue

That is a sharp watch. I sold an older Daytona for sale in Boston that also has day and date below the 12, but was a smallish case.

Rolex, Omega, Breitling, Rado, Swatch, and Tissot are made down the street from our shop in Biel.

Oddly, there's only one shop that sells Rolex in Biel, but they have them all with no wait or inflated prices.

gettysburgfreak · 03-31-2010, 05:48 AM

I can't wait to get a Rolex. I have wanted one ever since I was a young pup. Once I get a few years into my job I will hopefully get one.
