And they say "Rolex isn't a tool watch anymore" anything is a tool if you're willing to use it as one.

Your watch is beautiful. Great story. Thanks for sharing.

mjclark32 · 10 April 2019, 09:29 AM

Love it!
Stuff like this is one of the reasons my 16610 is on my wrist 99% of the time.
Will have to try out the beer opening

Bladeshot · 10 April 2019, 09:30 AM

Opening a bottle with it!!!! Cheers! Maybe that puts to rest (for a moment) the common complaint that Rolex is not a tool watch and it’s just jewelry.

Great story. You have a wonderful legacy watch to pass down.

jer276 · 10 April 2019, 10:02 AM

Truly amazing!

Cubdrick · 10 April 2019, 11:36 AM

You know Peroni's are twist off right?

:)

There is a beauty in not having to care what might happen when a watch has become well worn...

I also like seeing watches on people’s wrists that have been worn. It is reflection of a life led.

HACKNSACK44 · 10 April 2019, 01:34 PM

Very nice!

miamiman · 10 April 2019, 02:15 PM

I was offered one of those in 2016 for 8,000 dollars and I didn't buy it , what a screw up

SloRolexfan · 10 April 2019, 03:10 PM

I could have had a white zenith daytona for right around 11-12k in 2017 but got an 116520 instead...... Love the 116520 but I should have gotten the zenith!

Great story! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

I am sorry, but I would not do this with my watch.

He said he wouldn't use it as a bottle opener, not that you couldn't. You could probably use it as a doorstop or meat tenderizer too but I wouldn't.

Can you post more pics of the watch & the condition of the bracelet, clasp please. Love this story!

Deep18 · 18 April 2019, 03:04 AM

Great story and she looks fantastic 19 years in!

DJExplorer · 18 April 2019, 03:05 AM

Quite a bit jealous of the great wear marks you have acquired.
It’s looks great.
Best thread I’ve read in a while and the picture as the bottle opener won’t be forgotten!
Nice beer choice too.

Dana1 · 18 April 2019, 03:16 AM

That is no ordinary watch. It's a companion whose time travelled with you through the best and worst days.

If your ever going to sell it I think it might find its way back to you lol.
