Did you choose your Rolex based on looks or genuine functions?
Or a combination of both

I think I mostly chose the Explorer 2 because I liked the look of the white dial, and it's slightly smaller case size. The 2nd time zone is not really something I need on a day to day basis.

Functions.....what functions?

Looks......now you're talking!!

jas55 · 31 March 2009, 04:42 PM

that is a great looking watch! Did you end up selling it JJ?

Lamone · 31 March 2009, 04:45 PM

To me it's function over looks.

Nobody buys a Rolex to tell time.

No longer for sale, buddy.

After seeing the present shades of BLUE, obviously Rolex are no longer interested in reproducing that shade above once again......so I thought I'd better hang on to it.

Functions?

Let's see, obviously a watch has to tell time to be considered a watch, so the only real function my DJ has is the date.... Of course I bought it for looks!

Exactly

Looks mainly - the functions are a bonus, but peripheral to the purchase decision.

So I'd buy the Deepsea because it looks good on my wrist; the fact that it can withstand 13,000 ft of water pressure provides a nice talking point and is maybe psycholgically comforting at some level but to be honest, it's largely irrelevant to me (because I can barely swim, let alone dive!!)
