Look deeply into the Hologram...

You're getting sleepy, very sleepy...

When I snap my fingers you'll have the urge to flip your Rolex for another one and sell this one to Steve-O..

Sleepy, sleepy....


Snap!!!

If I were you I wouldn't remove the hologram on your SD JJ. Remember the last time you took it off of a fake, the movement fell out of the case.

Yes - the 3135 - same as the Sub-date (SS as well as TT), YM and the DJs.

I know the 3135 is supposed to be "relatively unfinished"...or "not as attractive"...etc. etc...but the way I feel, at least it's built like a brick $hithouse, and is not some floozied up Swatch movement

I remove the hologram now each time I get a new watch.

I have heard conflicting things, somone told me that if you leave it on, water can get behind it and make pit marks on the SS. Maybe somone else has heard this also?

You must be REALLY new to the watch world. And that's all I am gonna say about that.

comatox - seems like you think I was taking a crack at Omegas...not an accurate assumption at all...while I am new to the online thing, I do have a minimal set of social skills...please don't get all sensitive - I was referring to an actual Swatch (insert generic flat plastic wristwatch here, quartz movement or otherwise) timepiece versus a 3135...after some online research though, I can understand why you thought I was referring to Swatch/ETA movements...see my post here -
http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...676#post192676
Perhaps next time you'll actually PM someone & ask them what they were inferring rather than make an assumption? Anyways...no offence intended...& none taken

hey, thanks, JJ...I thought so myself...considering most of my sporting gestures start with the word "Pull!"...must be getting more politically correct in my evening years...
