I Heart Rolex

[sturgeon123456]

Bought my first one a week ago.....bought my second one today. I'm so done. No more EVER I mean it Well maybe a little down the road

Anyway, what color is the lume supposed to be (when its glowing) on my GMT C V series? Also The second Rolex I bought is a 1991 Date Just TT. Should I take it to my AD and have them service it? Should I wear it and see how it runs?

How about some pictures!!!! Congratulations!!! it wont stop from there!!!hahahaha

Ahhh Haaaa.. As Oscar said,its only just started!!
To answer your question,light green is the lume colour and I would service that DJ if you dont know its history......Rob....

Thanks guys, Sleddog....how do you like your GMT II C?

[sleddog]

Love it..! Its my FAV of the collection!!! A solid and good looking watch...

Well that is good to hear!! Stupid question......I live near the Winnipeg area, the winters are cooooooooooooooold. Can -30 weather be hard on the watch, or the movement?

I seriously doubt it. These are tough watches. You'd probably have more trouble with sand/ salt water and the bezel than inclement weather. Although there's a recent post by Colnago where the II-c survived a beach outing

Congratulations! You have a nice pair.

And good luck on keeping it just 2.

Yes I would service the DJ.

See how the DJ runs before you have it serviced, it might have already been serviced. As for "no more", that feeling will pass in a couple of days. Now some pic's please.

[sturgeon123456]

I will post pics as soon as I get the second watch.....I have been wearing the GMT II C tt since I got it on Sat......i was supposed to get the other watch (the datejust) tomorrow but due to delays it won't be coming till next week :( can't wait though lol....it's a tt with ivory Pyramid dial with roman numerals, it is an early 90's model.

The Canadian 30 below + will not harm your Rolex!!!! Rest assured it will be A OK..
Rob.!
PS: I recall a post where a guy froze his rolex in a glass of water in the freezer the pulled it out and thawed it on the stove in a boiling pot of water!!!! Didnt miss a beat... Hows that for tough??

[deserted]

MY friend i put my TT black sub in a deep freezer overnight and it was still running, the deep frezer just for the record was -50 degrees below zero.

These are some of the toughest watches on the planet

Mega tough would be an understatemet.....I was a very keen racing cyclist for many years, I wore a DateJust for all races....and during training.......inevitably accidents happen, some falls can be nasty (and very painful!!).....my black dial DateJust has seen the most action, here's a before and after shot after one particularly nasty crash.....new crystal, hand set and dial......and straight back into service....these watches are hard as nails....
