By-Tor Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I came to the rep forums for Rolex... then I got bored of the bad Rollie reps for a long time... now there have been some outstanding Rolex reps for the first time ever... GMTIIc, Explorer II's and the WM9 watches. Naturally I had to get them all, as these are my favorite models. Let's see group shots of your Rolex collection... I'm sure most of our vet members have quite respectable collections. I wonder if Stephane can fit all his watches in one photo though. I'll start! Upper line: 1. Gen 16710 2. WM9 Sub v2 3. GMT IIc WHS ETA Lower line: 4. ExpII bklm1234/Eurotimez black WHS ETA w/ genuine crown 5. ExpII Franken CHS ETA Let's see 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbieG Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 My humble collection. Just one at the moment, but you never know what may be coming (steel ceramic Sub in 2010?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 BTW, man BT, you really have the best of the best now. What more could a guy want for a modern Rollie collection. And you are right, the new reps you speak of are just blindingly good. Good show man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 BTW, man BT, you really have the best of the best now. Thanks Robbie! What more could a guy want for a modern Rollie collection. A Sea Dweller? Well I'll try to resist the new WM9. 16610 is so similar in design. PS: Awesome photos guys... keep 'em coming!

By-Tor Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 One Rolex that I'm always going back and forth is the TT Sub. Should I... yes I should... no I shouldn't... well maybe... This was the nicest TT rep I've had. Unfortunately no longer in my possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammandel Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Erm WOW, Robbie.. The quality of the bracelet/clasp.. Holy crap! Speechless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Yeah, DJ's sometimes get a bad rap from being a little cheezy sometimes in past years, but anyone who has felt or seen the new GMTIIc for example knows what I'm talking about when it comes to quality. The new solid center link bracelets and rolesor clasps on all models and bracelet types are TO DIE FOR nice. Just feel like a million bucks in your hands. Big step up from what they used to be. Gone are the days of the cheap and flimsy rattling Rollie parts... And I am the pickiest human alive when it comes to bracelets - a real hot button for me and I'm spoiled by the best. Plus, it isn't said enough as far as I'm concerned but Rolex having its own founddry and making alloys really is showing in the past very few years. Both the feel and look of all the metals is the best in the industry IMO. Nothing looks and/or shines like Rolex steel, gold, or platinum. Rolex patina is IT as far as I'm concerned! And the 904 steel in this pic I agree has been captured in that respect so thanks for noticing! Erm WOW, Robbie.. The quality of the bracelet/clasp.. Holy crap!
