I Plan to be out by the pool all weekend.....back to the Sub Beater: How about you ?

Dan Pierce · 5 August 2007, 01:43 AM

I wanted something a little lighter for this really hot weekend. Decided to wear the DateJust. Then on Monday back on the road with my trusty GMT II.

WOW...196,608 hz.

Folks, that's almost 197,000 cycles (vibes) per second....

That kinda puts the old Rolex 28,800 beats per hour to the task, doesn't it ?

I actually keep it at a place where it cannot escape from that easily

Humbert Ramuz with a Lecoultre movement, around 1890 - 1900. Too bad it isn't one with their patented 'winding by opening the case' though.

Then this one for work, tonight yes it's the SD.
Ouch, that close up shows the pounding my daily wear watch takes, now you know why a TT Sub is out of the question for now.

Tombstone · 5 August 2007, 07:37 AM

It is my Boston University ring, one of these days I will learn to take a somewhat presentable photograph. What I really need is a light box and a mirror.

Wow! almost twenty years, fantastic, makes so much sense of what my dear old mum used to say, save up and buy quality, it's cheaper in the long run.
congrats on two fine looking watches, great taste!

Thanks for the kind words Ian.

I agree with your mum.

The current TT is a late 2001 model..My original TT was a 1988 ref 16803 that was stolen in ~1999. I never got comfortable with anything else so replaced it a couple of years later....

Once you find a place for a particular model within yourself...absolutely nothing else will fill it..

Oddly, my other love has been the GMT on a Jubilee, which I fulfilled this past year - but the unknown was the black faced EXP II; it has become my daily wearer lately....

Chris and Seros....both of you....superb pics, guys!!

Thanks Larry.
I love the jubilee on the GMT, was that availible officially, like they still do with the DJ?

I know what you mean about the right model. I have tried most on now and the one that keeps singing to me is the SD so that is going to be my very first Rolex. It should not be long now!

I would love to visit Vegas one day, I know it is very popular with my Canadian Buddies!
Have a great weekend by the pool, good health to you!

But the white EXP II can make a man's willpower turn to will have power....
