Hi guys,

We have discussions on Rolex all the time.

But which topic about this watch really turns you on?

For me, it would have to be things like the weight of the watch, the bracelet links, fit and resizing as well as the prices.

What's yours?

JJ

I like to hear who got what low price on his Rolex!
Battle for which is the nicest looking!
Which one is an all around practical model!
Would like to hear more from the ladies about their Rolex's!

I kind of like to know about the tech part, movements etc. My old GMT has a 1575 which they said was a great movement, then the 3135 which is part of the reason I bought my Sub, now this new Daytona movement sounds really facinating.

astcell · 13 March 2007, 04:15 AM

I love all the different variants there are of the Rolex models. The one post here of the watch with no date but a gold face with black lines, veeeerrrryyyy nice. You will not see that elsewhere. Then we have the Milgauss, Leopard Daytona, and all the various Subbies.

The classic, timeless look, much like an S500 Mercedes, they always command respect.

eudiam · 13 March 2007, 04:24 AM

1. SS sport models pics posting.

2. threads regarding durability & ruggedness.

Chris B · 13 March 2007, 04:42 AM

The one aspect that always absorbs me is the overall versatility of the brand, there’s a model for every occasion or activity, however the dressiest can be worn using a jack-hammer and the most rugged worn with suit, simply wonderful.

kakalika · 13 March 2007, 04:58 AM

I am fascinated by the technology and the manufacturing process.

MRQturbo · 13 March 2007, 04:59 AM

when you guys get all technical and take about movements..i'm completely lost....lol...

mike · 13 March 2007, 07:48 AM

Well that's some great responses!

I gotta agree with all of them.
I guess the history of the brand and the accomplishments have always interested me.

Alcan · 13 March 2007, 08:11 AM

My favourite topics are the threads about "Which toothpaste, underwear, suppository, fast food restaurant, and dishwasher soap do you have with your Rolex?"

Aren't you guys being a little redundant, suppository - corncob pipe, prophylactic - freezer bags, kind of the same things, no?

And you both forgot, GUNS and KNIVES, my Rolex dealer just added two glass cases of pistols and three of just knives! Bill

Well Bill, you could be right. But...I personally have never used a corncob pipe as a suppository (although I can think of some people I would like to recommend that to) or a freezer bag as a prophylactic (much too small). Guns and knives are good...never seen them in a Rolex dealer's shop, though. VEEEEWY INTEWESTING...

What sort of post by Alcan do you prefer with your Rolex?

The one he made is pretty damn good, Robert!

Solo118 · 13 March 2007, 10:09 AM

I love to hear how each Rolex is made, How much time goes into each watch, And of course cool functions you never knew about (Such as difference between Explorer II and GMT II)

astcell · 13 March 2007, 11:02 AM

I also love the rarity of the watch. One day if I turn out the be the world's oldest man at age 121 I will probably say something like "I'm finally at the top of my AD's SS Daytona list! Yay! (cough cough) Yay!"

I’m not sure what topic fascinates me the most. I am not even sure why I continue to read this forum but I keep doing it.

Fiwi · 14 March 2007, 08:33 AM

I love all the watch porn! I am amazed at the beautiful way some of you capture your timepieces. I also love reading about newly aquired Rolexes. For most of us here, it's a really big deal. Something we've waited for a long time. I like sharing that with all of you!

watchdrummer · 14 March 2007, 11:40 AM

I used to think it was the beauty, the history, the precision of the watch until I came on this board and realized some knucklehead from NZ could actually make 26,500 posts about a watch--now that is what fascinates me!!!

pcarson · 14 March 2007, 12:24 PM

You don't see the word "knucklehead" used much these days, and that's a shame. Being new to the forum I wouldn't get involved in whether the opinion is valid or not, but I intend to use the word more frequently now that Terry has refreshed it for me. For me, the beauty of Rolex ownership is (amongst other things) being reminded of ways to amusingly insult people. I think it's money well-spent.

watchdrummer · 14 March 2007, 12:30 PM

Knucklehead is a term of endearment as it relates to our kiwi friend--actually I am still bitter having never made the tosser list...........................

pcarson · 14 March 2007, 12:37 PM

That's the great thing about the word. It IS endearing, and we Australians are always looking for ways to further endear Kiwis. It's just how we are.
