The White Whippet

Thank you for accepting me on this forum. I have a 1995 36mm Datejust and a 1997 26mm Datejust, These are being refurbished and serviced by Rolex. I now wish to restart my Rolex journey and have added a Ski-Dweller 42mm and Deepsea 44mm. Fascinating subject to investigate.

The Sky-Dweller is my favorite Rolex. I've loved it since I first saw them when they were only offered in precious metal. I still think they're best in PM. Welcome to the Forum.

A very warm welcome and I thank the heavens that the title of the thread was not a new Rolex nickname attempt.

The Logo is to do with my other passion in retirement-cars. When I bought my first Jaguar in 2016 I had to give a nickname on the App connection. I like white cars so hence the name. Seems to have stuck with my car club mates. As soon as I get my nearly vintage Datejusts back from refurbishment. I'll post a picture of the 4 watches.

Also, that is quite the jump from a 36mm to the SkyD and DeepSea. Definitely try them on before buying. Look forward to seeing pictures when you get them :)

I would have bet a million bucks this thread was introducing a new watch nickname, based on the title.
