A few pics of TRF’s Mascot

I just noticed that at the top of TRF, while viewing from the computer, there is a Milgauss and a 116509 WG Daytona with Matte Black (or some would say anthracite) Racing Dial...

I am so stoked that I’m sporting one of the watches being displayed!

Who chooses these watches and will they ever change?

How do you TRF’ers feel about the fact that since my Rolex is being displayed that it may be superior to you Rolex...?

Flame suit on.

I see a GMT IIc LN today on the banner. I think TRF did this as soon you posted this thread.

Yes it looks like there is a conspiracy. Hehe. So I do see where there is a

DJ, 116509, 16610lv and a Millgauss.


Is there only 4 Mascots carrying the flag for TRF?

Once we know we can state why and support our theory thru examples and pictures and may be a separate poll to see just who is first second third and fourth...

I don’t see any others for sale on TRF and I feel bad that some folks don’t have an opportunity to acquire such beauty...

Now back to the Mascott

I remember seeing a 114200 Air King on there at one point. I made a note because I used to own the same one.

This thread is all in fun. Maybe the mods can move it to the open discussion forum if they choose...

I am offended by your remark

Your Daytona is for sale in the classified section here. Starting threads to promote the sale of your watch is in poor taste, IMHO.

While you may or may not appreciate the humor, surely you can see that these posts were lighthearted and made in fun. I hope.

Sam. Redial and service hands?

My 2013 116515 bought from an AD had green lume. Yours is what, 9 years old? Should not have blue lume?

I would hope so. Still odd that the watch is for sale ( and clearly is not all original)

Odd post indeed.

Curious, why is the hour hand’s lume different from that of the rest of the watch?

Well..they couldn't have commented on it if you hadn't started the thread.

Whether you are promoting the sale or not, the inference of a watch that is for sale is prohibited outside of the sales sub-forum. Check the rules for posting, Sam.

Just for clarification...I did post watch for sale, and as I wore the Daytona a couple of days after getting it. Then I sold my 116619 WG Sub. A couple of days after wearing the Daytona, I started liking it. Then I didn't care if it sold and was going to not bump it anymore. Then i posted this thread.

As I liked it more and more and it grew on me, I wanted to share some pics. Then colin10101 said, Watch is for sale in the for-sale section yadda-yadda So I then, "removed it for sale." to eliminate any idea that I'm trying to Advertise the watch.

OK can we move on?

I am also curious about the Lume being blue on the dial, and it looks like blue on the minute hand.

Devildog said it may be a re-dial but how would i know?

And if Rolex, did the re-dial, they wouldn't mix match hands would they?
