Hi Aykun,

Welcome aboard. You certainly do have excellent taste in watches. The TT Blue Sub, so popularly called, is a favourite amongst many of the members here.

Hope you can acquire it some day. You will truly love it as much as we do!!

Cheers - JJ

Don't be! I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that pictures don't interrupt the forum, but rather they add to it! Forums get boring without pictures. The more the better!

Thank you my friend but I was just afraid that as every moderators and admins at forums here whom that concern about forums design may comply because of space that photos take and I made them smaller not to casue a problem to anyone else.

I haven't been here long, so I don't know how they are, but on the other forums I'm on pictures are always enjoyed and encouraged. The key seems to be sizing them to an easily viewable size (which you did). Also, while some forums may have their own image gallery that you can upload pics, I don't think this one does. So as long as you are just hot linking the pics, they aren't actually being stored on the forums server so it doesn't take any room.

Welcome Aykun! I very much enjoyed your photos as we love travel and other parts of our world. You have a beautiful home in a beautiful area. I hope very soon you will have a beautiful blue Sub to go with it!

Obsession · 19 March 2007, 05:25 AM

I went to UK,Swiss,France,Czech,Greece before but I cant go anymore I havent visa and I havent chance to take. btw I ve just excellent English, even in Istanbul AD ROleX doesnt make discount even I talk my mother language Turkish in European countries I will need to talk just English with them and they will act cocky and they will just aggree on the MSRP and before going there taking visa I must be sure about the price cause the amount of money I will take depends on the price, which means forget Europe =(

Have you been to all THREE ADs in Istanbul? Are they all adamant on giving you any kind of discount?

Obsession · 19 March 2007, 05:34 AM

yes I had been to compare prices and nearly no discount since long time I just pass near the window when I pass there just to see my dream blue

That is very sad indeed. I can feel your pain and passion, Aykun. I wish you luck and some good fortune along the way.

Obsession · 19 March 2007, 05:56 AM

thanks that you can feel and as you know that all Rolexes' prices are increased last October I'm more sad about near future.

Tombstone · 19 March 2007, 06:23 AM

Aykun, Welcome to the forum, you live in a very beautiful area. The photographs are beautiful as well. Looking forward to the photos of your new watch when you get it.

Obsession · 19 March 2007, 06:36 AM

Thank you but Turkey is very risky country you can meet every kind of trick I even do not trust an AD ROLEX in Turkey they also can sell a fake rolex in an original box and I can never prove it. I prefer to send 6000 dollars to USA to buy a Rolex from a grey but powerseller, but USA is half around the world I can't trust too cause of distance and I canT travel, I really dont know what to do and how to buy a Rolex when I will complete the amount of capital for my Rolex.I m so sad about it.

WOW!! How on earth can one not even trust a Rolex AD? Can they actually sell fakes in Rolex boxes?

Oh boy, now I've heard it all!!

Obsession · 19 March 2007, 07:44 PM

I dont know JJ but in Turkey everything is possible, this country is the most popular with fakes, replicas, theft, hacking, everything illegal, I will buy when I will travel abroad, if that will be possible.

Yes, but how is it possible for an AD to sell fakes? He would lose his dealership in an instant if Rolex found out.....and they will find out. I don't think it's possible for the ADs there to sell fakes. Other jewellers I can believe, but certainly not the ADs.
