Hi Robbie, good to see you back on the board! I hope your health problems aren't getting you down too much, although it's never nice being ill.
With regards to watches, I think I am increasingly coming round to your viewpoint! The comfort issue is what often decides what I choose from the box - although I love the ones I have, sometimes that mesh bracelet is a little too heavy, and that leather strap a little too stiff... (although that probably serves me right for not sorting out decent straps yet! lol) You are right in what you say, Rolex just seem to disappear off the wrist because they are so comfortable to wear And the size is 'just right', being not too small and not too big, even for my skinny 6.75" wrists!
I came to the boards looking for anything but Rolex - to me they were worn by sleazy "look at me, I'm [censored] great because I have a Rolex" types who I definitely did NOT want to be associated with - yet the classic designs are timeless, and I've really been getting into the vintage Rolex stuff recently because it is different from the usual everyday watch but still looks amazing after however many years! The newer ones are still a bit 'bling' for my taste, although I do admit that the Blue Cerachrome I picked up from BK is extremely comfortable on the wrist and flashy without being gaudy, with the Glidelock clasp being so handy when you go from the hot weather outside to a cool room inside
Overall... I'm just waffling on... lol... but I can see me adding a lot more Rolex to the box when I get some funds together!
