For those who think all modern Rolexes are just jewelry

I respectfully disagree. Just received this beast today and love it. Thank you to Jacek at HQ Milton!

All my Rolex ADs are jewelry stores. Nice watch regardless.

They are not, esp when you go to PP, AP and Lange etc you know how tough and durable and worry free your Rolex is. Congrats!

All watches are jewelry. Even dive watches are jewelry. It’s not a negative.

Drop it from five feet onto a tiled floor, and find out how tough and durable your Rolex jewellery is.

Thank you everyone! Tried the 43mm twice loved the look but uncomfortable even on my 7.5 inch wrist...the116600 is just right!

I think it’s my favorite ever and I’ve had many subs/sea dwellers...

congratulations on your mechanical jewellery! one of the best no doubt and the same place i started with Rolex (i'm sure same for alot of us).

saying a wristwatch is jewellery is not a bad thing i think. just a fact. also i predict in 5 years time (maybe less) you'll be looking at the shiny DJ's having embraced the idea that a nice mechanical watch is, for some men, the only jewellery that they wear.

good luck with the watch!
