Incoming - 5711
I have owned a 5726 on bracelet and strap, 5980 two tone and Rose bracelet, none of these lasted long. I had a 5980R sold it, bought the actual watch back. Having trouble getting a Nautilus to last in the collection or rotation. I now love and wear my 5980R, I wear it a few days each month. I was considering rounding things out by having a Nautilus on bracelet to add to the strap and have one piece in steel and one PM. Didn't know which reference was going to sing to me this time around, if any. Kind of been there done that sort of thought process. In speaking to my favorite and great AD's I was informed they just had a 5711 arrive. I always thought of it as just an entry level piece due to the lack of complications. Then I started to think about the 5711 more and more. I generally have tastes now towards extremes, if I want a sports watch I want the ultimate, if a complicated I want them all, etc. The 5711 is an 'all rounder' HOWEVER sometimes less is more. A clean, quality, simple wa

On the hunt for a BLNR in Japan
Hi all, am heading to Tokyo on holiday next week and on the lookout for a BLNR while I am there. I heard a rumour that there are no waiting lists in Japan and so I might be lucky enough to find one at an AD if by chance they have had a recent delivery? If not I can apparently pick a new one up on the grey market - although I should expect to pay at least $1000 USD above retail? :O can anyone confirm this?Thinking this might be one of the few opportunities I get to be able to purchase a BLNR as I'm not high rollin' enough for the dealer in my country to prioritise me on the waiting list (sometime in the next year) am also concerned they might discontinue the batman next year OR WORSE bring out a new model on a jubilee that can't be changed a la the new Pepsi.There seem to be a hell of a lot of AD's in Tokyo - but would I be wasting my precious vacation time hitting up the AD's on the off chance they might have a BLNR in stock at retail?Or should I just bite the bullet and head for the n

Sea Dweller collection is growing...
Over the past year or two I have had a growing interest in the Sea Dweller. I started my Rolex collection with the 50th Anniversary Sub and thought my diver collection was complete. But over the last few years I'd read more about the history and see all the incomings and my interest grew. My first SD pickup was the SD4K. What a watch. Slightly larger than the sub but fits well on my wrist. The next pickup was the SD43. Winner winner. Absolutely love it. I never thought the DSSD was going to be a watch for me, but the technological advances in that watch drew me in. I was able to try one on a few weeks ago and the size wasn't as big as I thought it would be. Definitely thick, but fits on my wrist. Wears smaller than 44mm I think, compared to a PAM I owned a while back. Must have something to do with their crown guard and how I wear my watches. The James Cameron was the one I wanted. 3-4 folks on the lists at AD's here locally and above MSRP from the grays. I was going to be traveling th

Size matters
Hi AllLong time lurker on the forum, I am the proud 116400 GV and am at the point where I am itching for another addition to my collection (if one watch can garner the title of a collection.One of the things I really like about the Milgauss is it weight without being monstrous on the wrist. I believe this is primarily a result of the faraday cage? I was wondering if there are any rolex's that are heavier than others in the stainless steel range (I feel I am a bit young for anything PM). I feel like the SS skydweller may fit this niche, however I refuse to pay ��6000 over rrp on the grey market. I am in no massive rush so can wait it out and see (unlikely) if I can pick one up at an AD. However interested as to any other potential options (as trying stainless steel sport watches on in the UK at the minute is in itself a challenge!)Thanks in advance

Ok I get it now....
So today I got to put this baby on and now I get it. The weight, size, and thickness are right on. Passed on this baby (next guy is happy) as I'm still waiting on the blue......Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
