My Shallowness

[motoikkyu]

It's good to be celebrated for who we are. The choices we make, including our watches, define who we are. You chose a watch that reflects your ideals of quality standards, value, and beauty. When others notice, they are celebrating your choices with you, or envying you, or currying your favor, it doesn't really matter. As long as your choice is a reflection of who you are and not an apology or projection of what you think the world wants you to be, you can never be shallow or incorrect. You've made a wonderful choice, to revel in it is not a crime. Oh, and congratulations on a great timepiece!

Congrats Seth....... as they say..... there is only one WG Sub...... and for me, the moment I saw it on holiday in St Tropez (of all places.....) I knew I had to have one...... So I fully understand where you're coming from.....

In terms of compliments, this is the only one of my collection which regulary gets comments..... usually just because the blue colour is so vibrant and warm and is offset so wonderfully by the cool hue of the white gold.......

But one story that I have told before but actually deserves a re-tell was at a night club in Warsaw in Poland. I was standing at the bar waiting to get a round of drinks when this vision in a very short dress appeared next to me (and I mean drop dead, jaw on the floor gorgeous).

As we waited, and while I was desperately thinking of something to say....she said "lovely watch" or words to that effect, "I haven't seen a blue Rolex before...... I remember not really knowing what to say that would be sufficiently cool or appropriate for the occasion ......... so just uttered "Oh thanks..... it's white gold..... and the only one they do in blue ".... or something like that......

Her smile (as I was kicked in the shins by my little lady) who had come over on "babe alert"........was absolutely priceless.....

Nothing wrong with that.

I've never told anyone outside of my wife that I have (or wear) a Rolex - it's certainly not to seek attention. However, when I purchased my Yacht-Master, I received tons of compliments from friends and even strangers.

With that being said, it's only natural to make you happy because all of these people are just confirming what you've thought all along. The watch is GORGEOUS!

Congrats and enjoy. That might be my favorite Rolex of all.

Thanks Seth .... Let me know when it happens to you .... Because it will......

And enjoy that watch....... I'm wearing mine today and it's just so perfect in every way. As you know..... the blue on a summer day is just glorious.

All the best.....

Thats the numero uno i the Rolex line

Nothing shallow about this. Compliments would probably be included as a complete package together with the box, hang tags, papers, cosc tag and manual. and enjoy your beauty
