My perfect triumverate

i think it was 2006 that i went on the record with my ideal three watches to suit all occasions .....now i am if i am honest with myself ...i am , more than a little 'fickle' shall we say ......

so i was a little surprised when i realized 6 years later on which three watches i had taken out of the bank for the summer without even thinking about it......

Milsub 5517 for the bush ...Comex 1665 for the beach ...and Newman 6263 for dinner....that's my summer taken care off

If you were into horse racing, you might refer to it as the trifecta of Rolex. If you were into hockey, you might refer to them as a hat trick. Either way, they are perfect.

Jed, how is autumn/fall and spring covered? Some pics of you surfing Bell's Beach with the Comex would be good...

All the best for the new year...

Jed, you should really do yourself a favour....

I'm prepared to straight swap you those three 'dated' pieces for three new in box replacements being a brand new Submariner, Sea-Dweller Deep-Sea (much better depth rating) and a SS Daytona

I know I'm such a good guy, I'll even deliver the new ones to you personally
