The main thing is that you know the secret of that mighty gold hewn beauty and that's why you probably walk around, confidently, with a big grin! ;-)

Count me in. My first Rolex was a Submariner purchased in June 1986, and now my 16613 hasn't come off my wrist in the 2+ months I've owned it.

Thanks guys. I've been trying to get the 16613 back on camera and I konw I'm slipping in my old age because 5 years ago I would have had multiple directories of shots by now. I am absolutely smitten by this thing.





I don't know if I'm ever taking it off.
