SubFrog Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 Well, here's my latest purchase from a fellow Louisianian member of this board...via EL. I took these pictures while in the decision phase. I was a bit concerned at the 36mm size of this watch as I am more used to my Submariners and Breitlings that are much bigger. At first glance, this thing is stunning...even if it does seem a bit small. However, after a bit of wear, I realized that this thing is one of the most comfortable watches I've worn...it felt like it was part of my wrist. Then my buddy came over with his new Aspire white Navitimer, and his first response to this Rollie was: WOW...that's just the one I wanted. My fiancee was the next to see it and she said: Keep it. So, yes dear, I'm keeping it. It's a beauty. MAKE :Rolex MODEL :18239 DIAL:Silver MOVEMENT :Swiss ETA DIMENSIONS :36mm BACK :Solid W/Sticker BRACELET :President LOGO ON STRAP / CLASP :Yes DATE INDICATOR :@3:00 DATE FONT COLOUR :Black On White Pics out by the pool with the plastic still on...but, still looks nice:

Guest Sql_pl Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 Beautiful watch! And very hard to spot as a rep I think! Wear it well!
ubiquitous Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 Excellent decision Froggy!! I'd keep it too
Bignasty Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 The "President" band has to be one of the most comfortable bands around! The diameter of the watch is much smaller but the design is classic! My only hold up on these is the weight. Feels too light to be gen. I'm seriously considering the new Precious Time 14k two tone model D@te-Just though! wear it well! Jon
tomtofa Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 That is a nice one. Closest I've had is a Datejust. The size didn't bother me (one of my favorites when I'm not Pamming is an Explorer I), but it had a Jubilee band, and that did bother me. The President band is a whole lot nicer. Now if it just had a rolled rather than fluted bezel . . .
SubFrog Posted June 10, 2006 Author Report Posted June 10, 2006 Thanks guys. Yea, I thought the same thing about the bezel at first...but, this one definitely grew on me. I may still look for another with the round bezel. I'm sort of interested in that ice blue dial.
KB Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 Yeah Froogy i gotta admit I agree with your wife on this one...........keep it Ken
