Oh, Celebrities And Their Rolex Watches!
I am typically not one for celebrity gossip. As far as I am concerned, celebrities, for the most part, are just like you and me, but less intelligent, with more money, and with lots more free time on their hands. But when you combine watches and celebrities I get a bit interested, if not for sheer voyeuristic intentions.Here is a little enjoyable blog about celebrities and their Rolex watches. Some shots are glamorous, some are less than so. The bottom line is that these celebrities never seem to take their Rolex watches off. Don't be impressed however when a celebrity chooses to wear a Rolex. They sure are nice watches, but they are basically the default "nice watch." Sort of like "new money's first luxury watch." Never a bad choice, but not the only choice. Nevertheless, no true watch collection is complete without at least a handful of Rolex watches. Rolex sort of has you cornered like that, and celebrities too for that matter.What are some of the more interesting shots/stories at t

5070 yes or no
I really like the 5070 in platinum and rose, I was thinking of trading a full rose skydweller and 18k yacht 2 is it worth it ?

Rolex Service Center Replace Dial on Sub 168000
I sent my Rolex Sub 168000 which I bought in 1987 to RSC NY for service and they told me that they will have to replace the dial & hands as required part of service. My old dial tridium has been flaking and it is affecting the watch function. The new dial & hands will cost over $550 plus service of $700 including taxes total of $1,500. I ask Rolex if I can keep my old dial. They told me that I will have to pay additional $300 bucks to keep the old dial. I was surprised because of this extra charge of $300 just to keep my old dial. Is keeping my old dial worth it even paying extra for it? Does anyone in the forum have the same experience? I need your advice.
