But I'm happy I ordered a clasp from Steve Muholland and a pair of pristine 502Ts from Anastasios. Should receive them soon, and I can't wait to get them on the Explorer.

Welcome to my world

I stopped shopping for a new watch because i would feel guilty to spend thousands of dollars on a Rolex.

But your watch looks great!

Mockingbird · 20 February 2010, 11:59 AM

Kyle, I'm a great admirer of your artistic ability regarded taking photos of watches, and I love your explorer, especially on the nylon strap.

But I gotta ask this... How does a 14 year old have this much money? As a college student I was dead broke and scraping around for cash. (obviously Kyle isn't old enough to be in college, that was just my example)

everose · 20 February 2010, 12:05 PM

Kyle.....right now,the Expy with the jubilee bracelet is my favourite Rolex.

You have superb taste!!!!

If you keep posting such enticing photos,the rest of us will
soon be broke too!!!!

Mockingbird · 20 February 2010, 12:14 PM

Kyle could easily be a professional photographer.

Most of the money that I have gotten since an early age, maybe 7 years old, has gone to the bank and stayed there for a while. But last year, after my mom purchased a Rolex for herself and my dad I decided to use that money to buy myself the Explorer. Also it's pre-owned, so that cut downs a lot of money.

Mockingbird · 20 February 2010, 12:28 PM

Oh cool! That makes a lot of sense, thanks for answering and not taking offense at my question. I understand that it was extremely nosey.

No problem, I've been asked that before.

How Does A 14-Year Old Devote So Much Time Staying On A Watch Forum All Day & Night? Heck When I Was 14-Years Old, There Were Many Other Things I Was Doing, School And Working On The Farm Once I Got Home! My Folks Never Afforded Me The Time! Believe Me At Night I Was In Bed Tired As Could Be!

But, To Each Their Own I Reckon!

JRA21 · 20 February 2010, 12:38 PM

Once again great photo !!!! Hope you get them soon !

Skullring · 20 February 2010, 12:39 PM

Congratulations on finding your pieces Kyle. It will look great.

Yeah I should start cutting down on the time I spend here. The workload is getting harder and I'll probably be focusing on school soon.

Prince Tudor · 20 February 2010, 12:40 PM

Kyle, your photos are amazing. Congrats on the new bracelet and end links.

Looks excellent Kyle. A fine watch to be sure!

NorthernPike · 20 February 2010, 01:11 PM

That's a very pretty watch, and I too admire your photos. At 14 when I was an enthusiastic novice Scuba diver I was obsessed with (among other things) Rolex Submariners, however they were far beyond my reach, financially. After recently restoring my Dad's old Everest, I got the bug again and got myself an LV for my 51st birthday. Too bad I didn't get one of those 5513s back then for a few hundred bucks.

R S · 20 February 2010, 01:11 PM

Hang in there 'hopper, it'll come back together for you. In the meanwhile keep shaming us with your mind blowing pics!!

No don't get me wrong, what I said was said in jest, I can recognize a joke when I see one!

Kyle: Gotta say that the jubilee bracelet looks awesome on the Exp I; and something I'd never seen before. Keep up the great photog, too !
