Hi Aykun,

Welcome aboard. You certainly do have excellent taste in watches. The TT Blue Sub, so popularly called, is a favourite amongst many of the members here.

Hope you can acquire it some day. You will truly love it as much as we do!!

Cheers - JJ

Thank you and I know what I want I love the blue color of Rolex sub it sometimes look like blue sky and sometimes looks like a blue marine as its name which is my dream watch that I will wear in special days but till forever and I already have a blue Raymond Weil W1 that I bought 3 years before from Ebay and a Tissot PRS 200 silver color. And photo of my watch, me and also a present to all Rolex fans which are 2 photos in Geneva. I m glad to be in this group.

Don't be! I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that pictures don't interrupt the forum, but rather they add to it! Forums get boring without pictures. The more the better!

Thank you my friend but I was just afraid that as every moderators and admins at forums here whom that concern about forums design may comply because of space that photos take and I made them smaller not to casue a problem to anyone else.

I haven't been here long, so I don't know how they are, but on the other forums I'm on pictures are always enjoyed and encouraged. The key seems to be sizing them to an easily viewable size (which you did). Also, while some forums may have their own image gallery that you can upload pics, I don't think this one does. So as long as you are just hot linking the pics, they aren't actually being stored on the forums server so it doesn't take any room.

Since you live in Istanbul, is it not possible for you to fly over to some nearby European country for a better deal.

You need to do some serious shopping around. Perhaps you can get a good deal from some AD elsewhere in Europe.

Good luck - JJ

Obsession · 19 March 2007, 05:25 AM

I went to UK,Swiss,France,Czech,Greece before but I cant go anymore I havent visa and I havent chance to take. btw I ve just excellent English, even in Istanbul AD ROleX doesnt make discount even I talk my mother language Turkish in European countries I will need to talk just English with them and they will act cocky and they will just aggree on the MSRP and before going there taking visa I must be sure about the price cause the amount of money I will take depends on the price, which means forget Europe =(

Obsession · 19 March 2007, 05:34 AM
