No mama, No Papa Rolexes in Miami, etc.?
I read this article: https://.nytimes/2018/02/16/s...egistries.htmlAnd it mentions the phrase no mama, no papa which is supposedly used for the purpose of conveying that a watch has neither papers nor serial number.According to a Los Angeles based dealer mentioned in the article, no mama, no papa watches are very easy to trade. After all, a gold Submariner is a gold Submariner. I cannot imagine wanting a Rolex with no serial number. How can they possibly be easy to trade?I think it is against the law in some places to have an item with an altered serial number. Texas comes to mind.Are Rolexes without serial numbers really as common as the article tries to imply? I thought it was an interesting article, but maybe a bit of a shill for the watch registry services mentioned.
Legacy watches.
With a heavy yet proud heart I put on my dad's datejust today for the first time since he passed. The watch is nothing special and not my style. However, the since of pride I felt this morning wearing it brought great memories. I'd love to see others legacy watches or hand me downs and also love to hear any stories that may be associated with them. I always remember playing catch with my dad and my son and him always fiddling with the watch coming out of the mit when he caught a ball. Most of the time he'd take it off and had it to my daughter to hold. She always looked at it with so much admiration and sense of importance that he'd trust her holding it. Sorry for the long post. Just wanted to share. We all know how special Rolex's are and the stories known only to the owners that are associated with them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Submariner 116610LN Certificate Card FONT STYLE?!
HelloI am about to give up my GMT-Master II in favor for a Submariner 116610LN. I have only seen pictures of the Sub so far (will of course take it to an AD before I buy it, if I will). So when looking at the picture of the certificate card I find that the Font used is not the same font I have on my certificate on my 116710. On the Sub's card the font looks more like Times new roman (see picture below) and on all other cards I've seen, the font is more like Arial?cert1.jpgWhat do you think about this? The watch is sold from AD in Greece in 2012 I believe. Does Rolex use different font's, sounds strange to me if so. Here is a picture of the Sub anyhow. Does it look authentic to you?2016-01-31 08.58.05.jpgIMG_3897.jpgIMG_3899.jpgIMG_3901.jpgIMG_3902.jpg
