rhcolbert Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Coming in the mail Monday. Used and worn but don't care. My Rolex explorer II from the 90s was a used purchase as well. 2
Frozen North Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 @SaintMickey®, you sure don't see many 50th anniversary Submariners around. How do you like it? 1

I belong to The Rolex Forums.com. Plenty of members there own 50th Anni Subs, and many for sale in the classifieds section. It is not a rare watch, but certain early versions fetch a premium price.

OK, I have one that I purchased in 2004(?) from a Rolex dealer. I just don't see them anywhere. 2

I am not a fan of the new Subs or any of the new larger cases that Rolex has bestowed on us. When I bought it new it was around $5300....whatever the price was before price increase to $6400. Now Sub Dates are $8550 MSRP...stainless steel mind you! LOL It is the last of the original cases but was the first to have the Maxi Dials other than the Yachtmaster I believe (old hour markers look so small now compared). Now they all have the larger hour markers. Best thing is I like that everyone doesn't have one but they are out there... 2

Ginseng Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Some lovely watches there, gents. Here is my set. I have an Orient Mako II USA inbound so no photos of that one yet. And, sadly, no Rolex yet. My "nice" bracelet watches. L2R: Victorinox INOX, Steinhart Ocean Titanium, TWCO Salvage Diver, Oris BC3 Advanced, CountyComm MidPilot Auto SubSeconds. And my "beater" watches. L2R: Old Seiko, Seiko Titanium arabic, Seiko Titanium rectangular markers, really old Skagen Titanium Wilkey 2
rhcolbert Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Got the nardin polished up and new bracelet. Back onto the market. Selling my alpina alpiner 4 as well. Back to only one watch. Downsizing! 1
Ginseng Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Got my eye on this Sinn, 856-UTC on bracelet. Really appeals to my engineer's sensibilities. 3

At least with watches you aren't "lighting money on fire" like with cigars. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I currently own 12 watches with values ranging from under $100 to a few hundred $. My goal is to figure out a way to get the wife on board with a Breitling. I am thinking I will use the angle "I will sell all of my watches to get this one." 2

I had the same logic and sold off a dozen various watches for my first Rolex and now find myself with 2 Rolex and 4 Tudors and can't stop the bleeding! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Then you can get it now! ?I won't be paying for mine to go to college. Government will if they are willing to join the service or other forms of giving back to the country. 18, you can vote and be held legally to standards of an adult. Bye kiddos? 1
