And you thought there was only ONE "R" in Rolex?

Think again, guys.

I can see several "R's" in Rolex - yes, quite a few as a matter of fact!!

Like....

Reliable...
Rugged...
Robust...
Remarkable...
Right on time....(I just made this one up!!)
Reputable...
Recognizable...

And, of course, this SUBMARINER just about says it all!!

So, guys, the next time you look at your ROLEX.....you know EXACTLY what you're looking at!!

How about:

Resaleable;
Retro (as in the new Milgauss);
Resilient;
Responsible (as in Corporate citizenry via charitable donations);
Replicated (via fakes);
Resurgent and Radical (the SDDS).

JJ that's a well kept clasp you've got there. Regular polish or extra care ?? My SD was already marked after 2 days of desk diving...
