Japan Rolex Magazine Giveaway Time!!

Ok its that time again. To keep us occupied while waiting for the real big giveaway I present this challenge to you.


Name my and my girl's combined collection pictured below based upon the lume of the dials only.

The winner will receive not one but two Japan Rolex magazines pictured below. Sent to you at no charge from me.


Rules.

1. One guess/answer only per member.

2. I prefer that you name them as they are pictured from left to right but it will not be a disqualifier if you do not.

3. Please name the Rolex exactly, i.e don't just say Submariner, as we all know their are many kinds of Submariners.

4. Please do not identify them by model numbers as I don't even know my own model numbers. Just the name of the type of Rolex please.

5. Finally the first member by time recorded on their post to correctly name all of the Rolex pictured will win the magazines. If there is a time tie I will think of a tie breaking question concerning one of the magazines and the first member to answer that will win.

6. The pictures in my signature may or may not still be in my current collection.

I imagine that some of the long term ( I almost said older : ) members here will have an advantage because all of the pictured Rolex have either been unveiled here as an incoming, a gift story or in the case of one a Rolex that I had given to my Dad on his 80th birthday that was returned to me after his death. Every Rolex pictured here I have written about and are owned by either me or my Girl.

Good luck and have fun!

By your original post I see you don't mean the watches in your signature. Very confusing breaking it up into 3 posts.

Well you might want to wait until I post the pictures before responding but yes, I should have mentioned the Rolex in my signature are current or former owned. Base your answer on the picture posted which is my current line up/rotation for me and my Girl. Thanks.

I'll defer to the experts on here, but have to give you a nod for the gesture. Very cool.

6 right.

Remember that part of this is remembering from my posts exactly what we own. Could be an all gold. A TT. All stainless. Platinum thrown in maybe? Read the rules again please. This entry was seriously close.

Remember one entry/guess per member.

You said the pictures below, so I assumed you meant the pictures in your signature.

That's how I understood it as well but thought it was too easy so I didn't reply.
