Rolex Cruise watch.

Only 5 weeks until we're on the high seas, steaming toward the Caribbean

This is the one that made the list.. Less bling to keep the natives from getting restless, and no date....hey, we'll be on vacation.. Should be able to take snorkeling and para-sailing with ease..



Which one would you take with you ????

Nice pic, Larry.

On a cruise, I'd take my SS Daytona.

Don't need a date feature on a cruise!

I would take the Sub to wear during the day and the Daytona for dinner time. Enjoy your vacation man, and don't forget to check out the watches in the Caribbean.

Wear the TT Sub! Ooops, wait a minute, yours was made on a day that they ran out of proper dials and slapped on a regular Sub dial...nevermind.


The non-date Sub is a great vacation watch!

Hopefully time will rush along until you go, then slow down so you can enjoy it properly!

You must be referring to the original dial that Rolex made for Real Men who wear the TT Rolex Sub....rather than the other dial made for office queens..

Wow...I like the two-tone! Sadly I still wear my fake rolex when I go on vacation. It looks like the real thing and I do not have to worry about losing it or it getting stolen.

Be VERY careful with your valuables....

Especially when you are off the boat!

Yeah, but you do have to worry about having a piece of $!@# on your wrist, thereby supporting the highly illegal not to mention immoral fake Rolex industry. Is that really worth it?

Yeah, at least get an Invicta. It's a better watch than ANY replica and costs less than most.

Just got back from 11 days in Greek Islands---

We Sailed a 41 footer in The Aegean Sea so I wore a cheapy Rolex so if I lost it, I would not be broken-hearted or "broke".
