Okay guys,

I know I've done this one before on another forum, but for the benefit of a number of new fellas here, let's do this one all over again.

Your wifey comes down on you like a ton of bricks and says: You may keep just ONE Rolex - no more - and that's absolutely final!! No 'ifs' or 'buts' about it....or we go our separate ways!

Which one would you opt for and why?

I'd better go first....I'd still stick with my present TT Blue YM....it's been the most attractive of the 15 I've ever owned.....and besides I never use my watches like tools....I just baby them!!

Cheers - JJ

PS: Decided not to post a picture of the said watch because....

JJ Irani · 23 August 2005, 11:34 AM

Does that mean I can't participate even though you knew what my answer would be?

JJ Irani · 23 August 2005, 11:47 AM

LOL! You know I'd never say that!!

Yacht-Master, the real one, with SS/PLT.

Only one Rolex, huh? Does that mean I can keep my 6 Omegas?

I'm with Atomic here.

See? Sam has his head screwed on right. I've said it before and I'll say it again...

Sam is a man of great style and taste!

On another forum? In another time! Well, this same kind of question is being asked from time to time on my flight jacket forums (what jacket would you keep?), it keeps popping up. As a man without a Rolex (but not for long) I cannot comment on that. But I would keep my Sub. Comes in handy when you’re stranded on that uninhabited island. The watches I still have now are a 70’s LED watch (very hip right now, groovy man), a Chase-Durer Black Steel Chrono (first series, 660 feet WR), an Ingersoll automatic, very nice watch for the money with moon phase, big date and full calendar, a Timex Reef-Gear dive watch (660 feet WR), a Citizen Pro Master World Timer and an unknown 70’s looking analog quartz watch with big, leather strap. From this lot I would keep the Ingersoll. Or the Citizen.

Take care,

Frans.

Given i only own 1 rolex, it would have to be my trusty seadweller.. stealth rolex that is suitable for all circumstances and dress.

Atomic / Sam.. i think you need to clean your exp II faces to bring them to their true whiteness as they are meant to be..

Mamas....you must have been looking at those old faded EXP II dials again.

RogerF · 24 August 2005, 03:41 PM

I would lean towards this one.

JJ Irani · 24 August 2005, 04:59 PM

Don't lean too hard, Roger. You know what happened recently to James' SD!!

Agreed... and there's no premium or collectability with those terribly faded dials either. I'm surprised Rolex keeps making them because they're almost as bad as those orange abominations made by Omega.

Goodwatch · 25 August 2005, 12:16 AM

I know I should almost feel ashamed to admit to this (I'm not) but I really like that SO very much. Especially with the matching leather strap. Nice watch, good specs. But again, ‘it ain’t no Rolex’ :-)

Take care,

Frans.

SO???

You mean PO (Planet Ocean) and, of course, you mean this one - Ed's favourite....

Goodwatch · 25 August 2005, 04:52 AM

I don't why I keep referring to this watch as Super Ocean. That would be too much credit :-)

Thanks,

Frans.

No, it isn't. Once you've held one in your hand, you'll know what I'm talking about. The finish is absolutely mind-blowing. The bracelet feels rock-solid as does the clasp. Excellent watch for its price and top value with the co-axial movement too.

JJ

padi56 · 25 August 2005, 04:31 PM

Must agree with JJ for a change,I like the PO too, nice watch the bracelet
clasp is far better than the sub.
