Things you love about your Rolex?
I like the Lume on my explorer: Its pretty awesome!
I also like the Mercedes Hand, it gives it a nice touch. Finally, I like the little laser engraved Coronet, excuse me for the dust on this photo. What do you like about your rolex? |

Nice shot of the LEC! |

There is nothing I do not like about my watch,that's why it is on my wrist since the day I got it.

Its clarity!
Just looking at that beautiful dial through its thick sapphire crystal with every marking and piece of lettering utter perfection, it just seems to have a clearness and clarity which I haven't seen on any other brand of watch...almost jewel like! |

I life the feel and the weight of my Rolexes. (Datejust and TT Sub). I like the sound of the ticking, when I wear it to bed. I like the "Cyclops". I like the shine of the 18K gold. I like the smooth feeling of the turn, as I unscrew the crown, like it has some kind of hydraulic fluid or something. I like the sound of the "clicks" as I turn the bezel. I love the color of the Blue and gold combination, as it always takes me back to the moment when I saw the ad for this watch some years ago (a picture of a yacht). I love the sparkles on the ceiling of my car as I drive, the sun reflecting against the fluted bezel of my DateJust. I love the curves of the DJ's case. I love the comfort of the Jubilee band, and how it wraps around my wrist as though it was custom made. Lastly, I like the feeling every morning, when I put on the watch as the last step of my morning routine.
Tht's just me. Pretty shallow, but never the less, true. |

I like that it's tough and versatile enough to go from diaper changes to soapy dishwater to yard work to a sushi dinner!

I like the simple and practical look of the sub. I also like the way the black looks so deep and you can't mistake the oyster bracelet when seen from across the room....

The quality and shine that the Oyster bracelet radiates. The iconic cyclops that defines the piece as a Rolex. The word Superlative - I have yet to find a practical way to use this in the real world.

For me the weight is a big part of the appeal, plus the knowledge that I could actually use any one of them for sporting activity or as a dress watch if I really wanted to, ie the versatility.

I would have to say the two tone of the steel on the bracelet, and the way indirect low light in a dark room makes the hands seem to radiate a soft light. haha :)
