Nice duo!

Rolex collecting can be an expensive and addictive mistress. But on the plus side, you can sell your gently used Rolex's if you want. Try doing that with gently used crack cocaine! :D

Fine watches like Rolex's are needful things. It feels great to own one, to handle it, and to wear it. Every glance at your Rolex gives you a sense of admiration. It's both finery and useful. When something checks all the boxes like the right Rolex does, it's a constant joy.

That DJ is amazing in person. It never fails to amaze me how much better these pieces look in person. Not that it's a bad pic!
Enjoy!

Could not get much better than that - Rolex and Porsche!

toucan 21 April 2017 04:43 AM

Nice and keep them coming!

manhattanproj 21 April 2017 06:40 AM

very nice watches. should have skipped the dj and gone for the batman + daytona. the holy trinity. or add an explorer to make it the holy ?quadrinity?

hope you don't discover ferraris like you did with the crown. or vintage rolex for that matter.

in the words of ralph lauren: I bought my first really great car – a 930 Turbo ... I thought it was the best thing in the world – and then my friend Jann Wenner – who owned Rolling Stone – said, "Ralph, try my Ferrari." And I did, and I realized there was a whole other world out there. I still love my Porsche but I can appreciate a great vintage Ferrari as well.

enjoy the new watches.

you're right :thinking:

note to self: i'll stop posting in any threads that say i bought 2 rolexes in as many months.

wasted all my research on ralph.

Wait till you get into vintage, that's when it really starts.
Look up 16550 creme dial for starters.

My wife is also much more understanding of this addiction than she would be with the aforementioned. She doesn't like it, but I don't think it's necessarily grounds for divorce or intervention.......maybe intervention.
