well that pretentious thing is a fine line around here. sometimes I don't want to post cause don't want to look like being obnoxious but I love seeing everyones cool stuff so..
most on this board are none haters and so the more stuff to see the better, but the member cards, jacket, secret handshake etc will be kept secret

this will be the emblem on the front of the jacket below your name and number….

I saw a guy at the airport the other day with a gorgeous vintage Daytona as well...I think I may need to get one (or more) of those too...man I just can't get enough of the Daytona!

Nothing ever feels as "right" to me as a Daytona...whether its SS or this masterpiece Platinum.

Absolutely, they are amazing! I would recommend contacting Jacek, a very trusted seller here who specializes in vintage sport Rolex.

Hey Tom
I really love and respect the fact that you are not scared to wear your watches in places that they were made to be worn. So when I saw the picture of your wife's Smurf with a diamond on top of it in a glass jar, that made me rip off the remainder of my stickers on one of my watches and welcome all scratches. (notice I said one)
