Worn this watch pretty much everyday for the last 4 years. Only watch I own. Wear it for everything and it’s getting pretty beat up and stretched out. But you know what, who cares, they’re meant to be worn tough... or at least they were.

Love the thing.

I bought a 116610 LN a year ago and it's the only watch I wear. I could be happy wearing it everyday for a lifetime and to me it's the perfect watch. Right now it will stay that way because I cannot afford a second but at some point in life I may add another.

Just one Rolex

Attachment 1027933

My journey started with a U series 11610, ten years owned and on many adventures, sold to fund my 116613LN. Big mistake, never bonded with it like the 11610. On my 50th birthday my Father gifted me his Red 1680 that he worn for 50 years, I gave him my 116613LN. We’re both over the moon. Along the way I picked up a Blnr and an OP for the wife but the 1680 is my daily driver. Enjoy the journey

Such a beautiful watch and personal history which makes it that much better. My grail would be a great white SD, but I don’t see that one happening.

I’ve had my 16610 for over 8 years. I have others pieces, but wear it most of the time. Over the 8 years it’s power reserve has probably run down 10 or less times. I literally wear it for everything without a single worry.

That’s a modded watch. That reference never came with factory chamfers.

My 16600. Used to be my one and only go-to watch; wore it everywhere, doing everything for 18 years until I found this place.

Now, it's on rotation and I'm constantly asking myself if it's safe to do anything with it!! If you know what's best for you, run away from this place as far as you can!!

My one and only, the GMT Master II 16710 BLRO. I have not let it age or develop patina. Don't like that kind of thing.

Ha! I was just thinking that same thing the other day...why do I torture myself by going on TRF?!?! Run away, run away!

I thought I’d be happy with one Rolex (which I finally got a few weeks ago), but this place sucks you in and makes you want more!
