To Rolex lovers like us is there any better smell than the smell of a brand new in box Rolex!!?

You know that leather smell you get when you get the box home and open it up!!

I need professional help.

I know there is the "new car" smell, but I didnt know Rolex had a new Rolex smell

Never been into sniffing green boxes, but whatever floats yer boat.

I remember the smell of the OLD-style boxes, the ones that came before the ones we get now. They tended to smell of GLUE!

Joey_V · 10 January 2008, 04:26 AM

I'll keep this in mind when I get my first Rolex..

SPACE-DWELLER · 10 January 2008, 05:11 AM

Only the old-style boxes with wood inside smelled of glue.

SSD · 10 January 2008, 05:49 AM

Looks like I picked a bad day to quit sniffin' glue!

Mine had no odor at all... And how much would we pay for a "New Rolex" air freshener???

Glad it was the BOX you were talking about, Tom. I had visions of you sniffing your ROLEX (possibly while on your wrist) when I saw the title of your thread!!!

I find that my submariner has a bit of an odor after I plung my arm into a bowl of hot chili............................................. ...............sorry, couldn't resist!!

As far as smelling green boxes......I won't even comment on that, except to highly recommend that you stay away from anyone that's green!!..gha

I love the smell of napalm in the morn... Ehhh, sorry

Be careful, you may get what you wish for

After the chili is cooled down & dried up (about 1 week) it seems to have a slight odor, but usually I will have a shower a week or so after that, with soap, so the smell subsides at that point...gha

kansaivet: haha i totally know what you mean.. i love sniffing at new stuff. especially leather. recently on a family shopping trip, i popped into tod's and louis vuitton store where we bought couple leather goods and i can't help sniffing them (when i got home of course) .... you know....i didn't really want to explain myself if i would've done them in the store.

i won;t say im weird.......i opt for..."having a strong sense of smell"
