Greetings from Fort William

[cosmonaut]

Hello there

Came accross this forum while i was surfing for information about my watch

I've got a sea-dweller that i bought from Tourneau in Las Vegas I bought the wife a nice oyster perpetual at the same time

I'll be sticking around as i've got the Rolex bug

[cosmonaut]

ignore the hairy arms.... they're the wifes

Welcome to TRF!! The important thing is you have a sense of humour. Nothing else really matters on TRF!!

Nice SD, by the way. Wear it in good health and hope you enjoy your stay on this great forum of ours.

Cheers - JJ

Why is it i'm already lusting after a Milgauss though?

[SPACE-DWELLER]

Can't blame you. The Milgauss is a very interesting model, too.

What do you think about the new DSSD?

[cosmonaut]

To be honest, I've only seen one picture, but it looked good!!

I like the idea of it too, I know nobody will ever go down that deep, but it's still kind of cool to have a watch that can. Are they going to be hard to get hold of? I'd like a SS daytona (just like most people) or a green crystal Milgauss, it's just a shame that you can't get hold of them unlessyou're willing to pay way over MSRP

Will the SDDS be just as rare?

Welcome to TRF. I'm sure your wife was not standing over your shoulder when you were complimenting her on her hairy arms.

With your sense of humor you'll blend in real good here. You have a fabulous watch.

I think the SDDS will be hard to come by at first and the greedy one's will try to make a profit over it's desirability. Hopefully it won't be as limited as the GV Milgauss is.

Enjoy your stay and I am eager to watch your collection grow. Hard not to when you've got the bug.

thanks for the welcome

I'll take a picture of the wife's watch when she gets in from work (she's in the police) see what you think?

She's a good sport, the hairy arms comment wouldn't bother her.... much

it's a shame that the daytona is in such short supply, I'm not rich, but could just about manage to buy one at list price, but i certainly can't afford to pay £6,800 ish for a new one from a dealer...same with the milgauss GV, I can't afford £8k for one, which is what i've seen the odd one going for

there's so many watches that i'd like (IWC Portugueser, Vacheron, any tourbillon etc) to buy, I just need to win the lottery first

Watches facinate me, I didn't buy a Rolex for the benefit of anybody else, I genuinly don't care if nobody else in the world knows I've got one, I bought it for me, I bought it to make me happy, I bought it because there's just something good about owning a Rolex... does that make me sad? maybe to some people, but life's short, so i don't worry about that

[OYSTERMANN]

A big welcome to TRF, Cosmonaut - have a great time taking part and having fun with fellow members.

I like your stance on your Sea-Dweller - that you bought it for YOU and you enjoy wearing it for your own enjoyment.

It's a great looking watch.

[jasonbellevue]

Welcome to TRF, not a big fan of the hairy arm , but I am, of the SD. Hope you enjoy your stay here.

[GMTJOHNNY]

So you were in Vegas, and purchased Rolex watches....hmmm.....
I'll meet you at table 2 of Bellagio. You caount the cards and I will bet....
Welcome to the forum!
This is a great place and you will see more wrist shots and more hairy arms than you care for but a great bunch of folks!
Come often!

[cosmonaut]

the wife's watch


we'll never forget our trip to Vegas for many reasons, the biggest of course is that we got married but coming a close second is just how lucky the wife was at gambling first night there and she wins $1,100 in 30 minutes on a slot machine, then a couple of days later she dropped the jackpot on a 1c machine of $1,000 and she finished the week off in style.... we had finished walking around on our last night and decided to head off to bed, as we passsed the last roulette table, she stops and puts our final $25 on black, it comes up black, she lets it ride and it comes up black again...she takes this off and puts $25 on her birthday number 5 and it drops in ...she's walking to the cage with $1,000 again!!! it made our holiday as we're not rich by any means.... and this was all at The Belagio

Anyway, two very happy people coming back, both with a Rolex to remember our time in that crazy place

[mike]

Welcome to the forum. Good to see another Scot on here too.

Thats a lovely looking SD, and like you say you'll soon get the bug for more being on here. I'm pretty new on here too and already want an Anniversary Sub, Daytona and a Milgauss.

Aiiii

I really want a Daytona too, I've just been offered one at a very good price but just can't afford it at the moment... I know i'll lose the watch, but that's life I guess

[oneillba]

Great story and great watches. Now if you want to see a hair arm, just go searching for some of JJ's wrist shots. Glad to have you here. You seem to have good humor.

Welcome to the forum

Great pair...............
