Rolex wearers then and now

[Cru Jones]

Seen on the Internets.

[173rdabn]

ARRRRRRRGH Seems every other post is the "now". I'm sure that these are only an aberration, not the normal wearer or simply spoofing for a chuckle.

[BriansRolex]

Watches are meant to be worn and enjoyed not wrapped in plastic so they don't get a scratch

[123Blueface]

……and investments can be a meme all of its own.

I can confidently say, my Rolex gmt is still used for aviation and has experienced 6+ G’s.

[Harry-57]

I never get tired of seeing that graphic every time it's posted.

[Nairn1980]

Every now and then a protective sticke/shield thread pops up. Always goes down well lol

I wonder if Sean Connery ever asked if it’s safe to wear his watch overseas

I wonder if James Bond behind the scenes asked if it’s safe to wear his Rolexes or Omegas while on his missions

The picture above suggest he did not think it was safe

[JSolution]

I have watches I don’t care about beating up - and watches I do.

I know this picture is a joke but the people on the top row didn’t actually pay for their watches. I would be a lot less inclined to give a toss if I didn’t pay for it ��

Proud to be the "yester-year" wearer :)

[ArtNouveau]

I’m old school, I’ve always worn my Rolex and other “nice” watches for whatever I’m doing. My OPs have become my defacto mountainbiking watches but my Daytona and BLRO have also been along for many adventures and experiences. Why buy them if you’re not going to use them?

[Easy Rhino]

I was actually advised by my SA (who's a great guy, BTW) that the 19 years of abuse I've put my 14060M sub through was excessive. Nonetheless it still looks essentially perfect unless you examine it through a loupe or magnification. To this day I still wear it when doing rough work of all types.

Do you think Connery ever said "mine says hi!" when someone showed their new watch in front of him?

[gerry100]

didnt 007 wear a Rolex customized by Q?

[swils8610]

Lol…that’s totally accurate

007 used them to get rid of those pesky zippers on a woman’s dress? Thanks Q
Oh! that bond! So enjoy them a scratch here or there is the real life patina or character marks.

Great, me too ! Just completed a FAM ride in BlueAngel #7, and we took it to 6.9g, my 1992 16700 kept ticking !

I normally fly 787, lucky to pull 1.6 in a steep turn

[htc8p]

This is true but given economic downturn i think there are less rolex now

Now it’s 6+Gs over retail

[martyjanderson]

Really fits swiss watch owners in general...not usually the macho crowd
