Stephane

that's love

Nope, it's Lani

Happy Joyeux Anniversaire TJ !!!

Have a good time.

Still not sold, so why not wear it for a nice evening home?

Honestly, I don't know.

Subs hold their value pretty well.

I don't make a lot of money, so $5,000 is a lot for a watch.

Even if there's a 1:1, I still don't care. With the 16610 I always feel like somethings missing. I don't get that feeling wearing my rep SFSO or PO.

100% agreed. A Sub must be 1:1 ...for me.

That is because it is my primary love watch.

In example, I have others for which I don't care: Ingy, PO, Explorer II....

Maciek, no surprise that I say: buy a gen.

Ever since I look at watches, the Sub has been my goal.

Now that I have it, it will probably be the last I sell.

But 4.400$ is a bit to high in my opinion.

Why don't you try the r-l-x.de sales? It's a great place for you as not far away, so no taxes.

Forget the US: you'll pay taxes anyway and I'm not sure the sellers are as "serious" as on the German forum.

Anyway, get a genuine, if the watch is your fav or one of your fav...for all the others, stick to frankens

EDIT: Us sellers maybe less serious with overseas buyers I mean. After all, once the watch is gone...

I'm not sure if I may post here as we're the second day of the week

But here is what I put on my wrist tonight

Thanks for the information

... At least the stamped leaves (coronet looks wrong & never seen the additional coronet at right)

+1

Sorry but where is the thread now

Do these things only accommodate American timezones?

This is a great rep:

And that is a great photo !

Thursday it was the 16610

This morning it's 1680

Lani.. just how many watches do you have?? i don't need an exact number.. just a ballpark guess

A few

You sure have a fantastic "few" watch collection Lani!

Great reportage of a very beautifull couple!

The spider is "good" looking too

...and that tree, wow.

All the best to both of you.

Stephane

1002 and 1003 for me!

Once again, you made it my friend...what a great trio

Did I hear GTG ?

I'd certainly consider to be in the UK if the agenda is quiet enough for me here

The Eurostar should be affordable if booked ahead.

I vote no too!

But it's too bad for us of course but much better for the community.

hmmm, I would say that if a raffle doesn't go well (too many unsold tickets) then why not though!

Congrats man!

I recently discover the DateJust and got one myself.

It's a great watch and surprisingly not that small on the wrist.

I like yours a lot: great dial.

Good choice in my opinion.

Enjoiy it!

All the best

Stephane

great hotel choice Omni

Dito!

I wonder if I ever will have the chance to stay there...

I'm so in love with the old fashioned Waldorff

Have a great stay in NYC!

All the best,

Stephane

Thanks for sharing guys.

One more proof that it is nearly impossible to know all about the vintage Rolex.

One learn almost every day something new

Nice DJ, Stephane. We definitely have similar tastes!

Maybe I'll wear the DJ today and get out of the sub rut.

Wow, indeed!

You kept the bezel though.

I have it in a box and love the watch replaced with the current one.

Funny how I like this watch, very unexpected as it's smaller than the subs

Going Date just today

sadly to risky for the Belgian customs

Indeed

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolument!

Congratulations Marty.

Enjoy the honeymoon

All the best,

Stephane

Thanks for opening this thread Lani.

It's usefull to remind what kind of hobby this is and also to highlight that communication is the key of good relationship.

Indeed, if communication stops, then it should be posted here for the community to be aware of what happens.

One suggestion would be to use the gen GMT 1675 as a base. swap the bezel, gen dial + gen hands set...... at the end of the day, you will have a very nice 1675 GMT that you can sell in the future.

According to my genuine dealer in the Netherlands, when the 1655 was released, as it did not sell, the largest Amsterdam AD offered a "transformer kit" so you could go from a Explorer to a GMT look !!!

Ok, it's not helping the discussion on the best route, but it's a funny story? All this for 2 or 3K

Pitty we weren't older and in Amsterdam in those years

A photo of mine ?

All the best,

Stephane

Wow, thanks for sharing Vly.

A 1680 week-end probably

Have a good one guys.
