Hi guys

Fiji is a very small group of islands, approximately 333 islands, some of which you can walk around in a matter of a few hours. The economy is mostly sugarcane and tourism. I am one of about 300 lawyers on the island and generally its pretty stress free.

In fiji is there is one authorised rolex dealer with 5 outlets on the main island i live on. Expensive but nice to stare at... its still cheaper to fly into New Zealand as the closest country with an AD and buy a rollie tax free i.e. a ss sub or gmt2 for between 5.5 to 6.5 grand NZ dollars.

cheers
ps can someone help with my comex post i am about to do.

I though the no date sub deserved at least one vote.

If you said ultimate, then it would still be the YM. I mean what other watch can actually say that it has the precious metals to really go along with a black tie affair?

Only if the black tie affair was at a frickin retirement center JJ, that is the only place the YG would fit in.

Icon10 Sea-Dweller for me...

And I'm probably in the minority. Thanks for inviting me to join this little band of Rolex fans. It looks like a rockin' site. I say give the others a run for their money

Cheers Peter

Welcome to the forum Pete. The Seadweller is not a bad choice.

Hey Pete, welcome to TRF!!! The good thing about this type of poll, you can't really make a wrong answer at all, unless the Leopard Daytona is an option.

Icon10 Thanks for the warm welcome guys...

I agree no choice is the wrong one, however, the leopard dial would not get my vote...
