Seems to me that there are alot of TRFers out there with both of these watches...........so.............

Lets see a weekend wrist shot or glamour shot of your pair! (Watches!!

)

Trurolexer · 10 May 2008, 11:26 PM

I will post it here if I already buy one. lol!!!

pwrslider · 11 May 2008, 03:09 AM

Only fair..since I started it...here come the pics.

Sorry....took em fast to get them up and running and the crystals are a bit dirty and/or dusty.....

Trurolexer · 11 May 2008, 04:14 AM

Nice!!! At least I can see 'em side by side to compare. But I think the winner (in my heart) still Bluesy.

the bezel numbers on that bluesy look odd to me
is it an aftermarket bezel?

SPACE-DWELLER · 11 May 2008, 05:28 AM

That's a great and very versatile pair!

nope........just a bad photo in bad lite

GoldenBear · 11 May 2008, 09:53 AM

The font on the numbers does seem narrow, but I'm sure the light plays tricks...

artbypaul · 11 May 2008, 10:02 AM

Mine. :)

pwrslider · 11 May 2008, 10:08 AM

hmmmm...they are different.. mine is a S series......bought new in 95 from Tournour NY..................

georgemera · 11 May 2008, 10:14 AM

Here are mine

Norm · 11 May 2008, 10:38 AM

georgemera, that is a perfect collection! I have Bluesy and the TT DJ but I would love the other two as well. I'm particularly becoming fond of the white faced Explorer after spending some time on this forum!

artbypaul · 11 May 2008, 10:42 AM

Great collection, George!

Norm- I too, am planning on buying a white Explorer II in the future. They are a solid looking watch, indeed!

Paul

georgemera · 11 May 2008, 10:49 AM

Thanks guys I love my collection, I got the Yach-master, GMT IIC and the Bluesy this year, Bluesy I bought it this thursday and I don't know when to stop, today I try the Daytona, I need help how to stop this watch fever I have.

are you sure you haven't replaced the original bezel
this one looks aftermarket to me

BiG JeEzY · 11 May 2008, 05:19 PM

Georgemera, that is an excellent collection!! It is very versatile! I think there is one perfect watch that will really round out that collection well. It is, a white dial Explorer II! It wouldn't hurt to add one white dial watch to any collection.

I'm with Jerome...Explorer II Polar is a good choose. Or maybe Daytona white dial?

Here's a couple more shots..on macro. Let me know. I wouldn't put it past that AD in NY to stick a different bezel in..... I supposedly bought it NEW in 1996.................and it has not been in for any service yet...

Interested in any comments on the bezel.............

unclesallie · 12 May 2008, 01:24 PM

beautiful beautiful watches...thanks!
best,

mic6 · 12 May 2008, 03:45 PM

now i am pretty sure the bezel is aftermarket
it must have been replaced in the past
pearl, fonts (especially the "4")

x2

The pictures of the most recent blue Sub on this thread has an aftermarket bezel on it. It does not really look like the font that Rolex uses on their bezels at all. The font in the genuine insert looks a little more stiff, meaning the numbers are not as curved. I am sure that if you send the watch in, they can replace the bezel for you Steve. Try the independent RSC located in San Francisco.

The bezel on the Blue Sub in your avatar actually has the genuine bezel insert. Compare it to the pictures that you had just posted, you can see a difference in the font.

pwrslider · 13 May 2008, 02:34 AM

Jerome.......Thanks for the advice! I called them and they said the bezel change can't be done in house..and has to go to Beverly Hills.....is this correct...or just info given on the phone. In other words...is a personal visit better...and can they do it there?

Ok.......is the bezel aftermarket....or just the insert?? Reason I ask is a bezel change has to go to Beverly Hills....I think the RSC at Shreve can do the insert.

Thanks for all your advice!

The bezel insert is aftermarket

Changing the bezel insert is not a very difficult thing to do and any AD can take care of it it's that simple

pwrslider · 13 May 2008, 02:57 AM

Thanks frostie!!

I started calling the AD this morning..and inadvertantly asked them to replace the aftermarket BEZEL...they said the main RSC had to do that. If it's just the insert....that makes it easier..and in the long run..cheaper.

Thanks again!

DSJ · 13 May 2008, 03:15 AM

That was my dream pair, but due to cost constraints, I compromised slightly and have these, which I love!
