Wearing a PP... Is it different?
Hi guys, Obviously this is a very niche and cool place to be, and I do feel out of place posting here as I do not have a PP, and also on TRF sometimes I feel odd as I have 'just' a submariner (a phrase that would sound cocky to the every day person but here it's really just a cheap Rolex)But I am wondering...Do you spend a lot of time worrying about the PP on your wrist? Some of you have easily $500k++ in PP, some PP even costing more than that in one watch..After just a couple of months with my sub, it is no longer mint but has scratches on the bracelet and lugs. It's stainless steel, Patek's are precious metal which is even more scratch prone. A scratch on a SS sub, not a huge deal, it will polish out okay if I want it to, and it's not a hugely expensive Rolex anyway, (although still a nice piece that deserves me being careful) but some of this subform member's watches would easily lose the value of my Rolex by an accidental bump into something hard and metallic. I guess what I a

Incoming & A Serious First World Problem
Okay, so the Rolex that first brought me to the brand was not the first Rolex that I ended up buying. I was seeking a Sub ND but found and very much liked a BLNR. Like many a first-time buyer, I allowed myself to get distracted. Long story short, the BLNR did not suit me well (the PCLs scratched easily and the extra pop worked better as an idea in the showroom than as a daily wearer in my everyday casual life) and I sold it a few months after buying it.I was going to have that Sub ND! But I couldn't find one easily, so I decided to wait for my AD to get one while biding my time by buying what I at first considered to be a cheaper alternative. Damn, that cheaper alternative ended up suiting me so very well that when I finally did get the Sub ND (today!!) and returned home, I found myself realizing just how much I LOVE this damned cheaper alternative...this Pelagos in-house...Of course, I will be taking those stickers and bezel protector off soon, I just know it. But this Pelagos ended

Wasn't really a DJ guy until I saw this watch (116234), anyone wear one as a daily?
Since becoming a Rolex fan, my interests have mainly been with the SS sports models (14060, 16710, and now BLNR). It's not that I disliked the DJ's, just wasn't drawn to them the way I was with the Subs and GMTs. But I stumbled across this old Hodinkee article reviewing the 116234. The particular combination chosen by Hodinkee here is stunning -- champagne dial, fluted bezel, Oyster bracelet. Does anyone here have this watch? How about wearing it as a daily?Link to article

Trying on a few grails...
Picked up a D-Blue today and thought I'd try on a few grails at the AD again. I've never taken the PM Rolex plunge, but I want to really badly after this visit:
