I'm new, by the way..

Just wanted to say HI to everyone and hope I can learn from all of you as well as contribute to this forum.

My favorite Rolex is the Submariner 50th Anniversary, shortly followed by the GMT II 116710.

Here are my beautiful babies:

I'm weird with stickers...

What I do is peel a sticker off for every "cool" place or "moment" I'm in. For example, if I'm having a drink at a hotel bar traveling somewhere, and strike up a conversation w/ a gorgeous female that progresses into, well.... then I peel a sticker off the watch.

Or if I edge out an M3 through 5th gear and no police, another sticker.

I guess I'm just getting the watches ready for my experiences this way... If you look closely, the LV is sans stickers, which means I've worn it the most... which is true because it's my favorite.

I know, I'm weird =)

Who isn't weird.....after all, we are spending time doing this, when we could be "cleaning up the garage, or something far more useful", as I am told from time to time....gha

Edging out an M3 with no police is definitely worth a sticker ! Great pics by the way.

Welcome new guy
Hey you have some prrrddyy good looking watches there pal
I like the way you peel off the plastic.
Glad to have you around. I really like the LV too, but I wish I had a black bezel sometimes or should I say, I wish Rolex made it an option, like the aluminum GMT bezel inserts.

A very nice pix of some very nice Rolex.

Which GMT do you like best.

if I'm having a drink at a hotel bar traveling somewhere, and strike up a conversation w/ a gorgeous female that progresses into, well.... then I peel a sticker off the watch.

JJ!!some help needed here.

Weirder still is that this forum is full of people who completely understand the sentiment....

beautiful collection.....

If it progresses into a rash do you put the sticker back on?

If she is actually a He, do you throw away the watch?

Wrong time

Looks like your GMC Master IIc SS is 5 minutes slower than the others.

I have the others set 5 mins in advance, where the "new" one was 5mins slow because I was timing it for accuracy. -1.5 secs per day for 3 days, not too bad...

Welcome to TRF!

Stunning collection you have there!

And most (it not all??) seem to be still unworn (still have the "plastic" on them)??

Thanks for sharing the pic!
