  1. A fellow member asked about how do they fit on the wrist. That's a good question, because the case is completely different. Tried to capture that with the watchbox cushions... Hope this helps! Thank you, V.
  2. Nice Trinity... enjoy them!
  3. Autumn (or Fall ) is here...Hope you enjoy as much as I do. Thanks for looking. V
  4. Now I have these two beast at home, I was curious about how will they look face to face. Wanted to share some pics with you... Thank you! V.
  5. Thank you for the answer. I wouldn't use escrow services from unknown companies. But I have to admit the scam is quite well set up. Regards.
  6. I was just seeing watches for sale, and made an inquiry to a seller. He offered to do the transaction through this site: http://www.express-gps.co.cc/ The smell is definitely not good... Anyone have been offered to do business via this site?
  7. Wow... amazing pics... you're the master of natural light!
  8. Welcome... A Sub is only the starting point... you'll understand this very soon.
  9. That's actually a very good point - customs in Spain act randomly. They're normally not so strict as in other EU countries, but sometimes they are. BTW, there is a local seller here offering a '81 triple 6 for 3.9 k
  10. 1980 Rolex Submariner Date Divers 16800 in Matte Dial http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...em=300269210799 What do you guys think? I try not to look it, but...
  11. Just to add to JohnG excellent suggestions... Barrio Salamanca (Colon square, Velazquez, Goya, and Serrano streets). One of the nicest part of the city. Lots of fancy shops and cool restaurants. Your wife will be delighted... while you can have a look at the watchstores (there are a few -probably the best in Spain- in Serrano street). have fun!
  12. thank you for your kind replies... but now I'm even more confused... I've just seen a 16700 A-series which fits the budget... This is a nightmare...
  13. Do you think it is feasible to find a 16800 w/ matte dial under 3.5 k
  14. A zero means a lot Unfortunately the few 16800 (not to mention 1680) I've seen are far beyond my budget restrictions....
  15. Thank you for the advice... I think Sub w/ lugholes is going to be there... @lazarini... There is no 16800 in the list... It is a 168000 from 1987 I found in a store close to my office.
  16. Hi, well, I have to say that handling with replicas is the perfect testbed to decide a gen purchase... I'm very slow making decisions but my next gen (purchase planned for next year) is going to be a second hand Rolex SS, budget below 3.500
  17. Well... one of my grandfathers used to wear it that way, so I'm quite familiar with it. The story is... he was a truck driver during the war, and that's the way he could easily check the hour without letting go of the steering wheel. (Notice that trucks from the 30's where not so "human friendly" as they are nowadays... ) So maybe you're the only one alive... just kidding.
  18. Great review... Deep, wide, easy to read and... funny. You really forced me (and all the machos in the forum) to buy one...
  19. Mmm... I received a Z-series last week. But I specifically asked for a 16610 Z-Series (no engraving on rehaut) before ordering. V.
  20. I think I don't get this...
  21. I think it has not been mentioned... Pacino in "88 minutes"
  22. I was having the same question as im2, as I have a WM9 Z-serial Sub and spare "ultimate" and "noob" bracelets... I like the whiter sheen on the "ultimate" links... ...the hollow mid-links on the noob... ...and WM9s clasp is quite good... (Who has the best Sub bracelet? ) You guys are amazing... The amount of knowledge you've got is overwhelming... Thank you for sharing it.
  23. Now I'm confused... Is the M-serial suppose to have the flat "S"? I have always associated the flat S with the Z-serial (year 2007)... Am I missing something?
  24. Thanks for posting your Nautties! Those MBKs are really nice... I must have one...
  25. Well... a lot has been said about this superb watch and its design. Just wanted to share some shots with all Nautilus lovers... Thank you. V.
