One question: On your new SubC, do you have 4.5 bracelet links on the 6 o'clock side?

Happy New Year!!!

Tom

Hi Tom,

Actually I took off one full link from each side and then transferred one ½ link from the '12' side to the '6' side to give me this final arrangement as in the pic below.............

Remember, the original 16610 does come with 4½ links on the '6' side.

JJ

I think two is a great number to own as regards Rolex. I have two (Sub and GMT) and I think that's it for me. They are getting overly-expensive and while I can afford a third I'd rather spend the cash on other things. That said I may get a third watch but it won't be a Rolex and it will be a lot cheaper!

Love your new Sub!

We have missed you around here JJ, Glad to see you back to posting again, I have alwasy enjoyed your humor and insight

Very sorry to hear of your health issues, I sincerely wish you a quick and speedy recovery, you have two gorgeous pieces remaining there and as another said, they are only watches... They are meant to bring you enjoyment and I believe they have done that for you, you will have them back should you desire

How are you liking that Sub C, I have the green and black and love them!

I noticed you hadn't been posting for some weeks now and was worried. Very sorry to hear of your health problems but I'm relieved that you're back JJ.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that your tests will be OK and wish you and your family a happy New Year!

George Ab · 29 December 2010, 11:22 AM

You do have the pick of the litter, and two is a great number.

I admire your wife's taste in watches and in you. You're the best JJ..... all the best... always.

Sub'erman · 29 December 2010, 11:22 AM

Cool that you changed your mind and got the Sub C.
I still remember what you said about the Sub C when you presented your new V-series 16610.
And good to have you back!!
Things are kind of quiet around here when you are not contributing to the forum!

Glad to hear you won't be parting with the Yachtmaster. That is my one and only Rolex right now but I hope to add another at some point. Even if I don't add another Rolex I can't picture ever getting rid of this watch.

Enjoy the 2 great watches you have and I hope you feel better.

tkc324 · 29 December 2010, 12:30 PM

Good to see you back here JJ... always love reading your comments. Have a happy and healthy new year!

ingoodtime · 29 December 2010, 01:15 PM

JJ. I'm glad you kept a few pieces that make you feel happy. Hope you feel stronger everyday!

TSts · 29 December 2010, 01:23 PM

I feel absolutely fantastic with my two Rolexes!

I wish the same feeling for you JJ!

fc3s2k · 29 December 2010, 02:46 PM

First of all thanks for every thing (advice etc.). hope for a speedy recovery.
Because of your advice, I'm a 2 watch guy myself!!!! Yours look awesome, I love my SUB C as well.

JUSTROLEXES · 29 December 2010, 02:52 PM

Good to see you JJ and as long as you keep the Yacht

Life is good

fusionstorm · 29 December 2010, 03:05 PM

You had the pleasure of owning both pieces for free (well, just the meager amount of interest you would have made in your savings account). Not a bad deal IMO!!!

Rolex Freak · 29 December 2010, 03:09 PM

Great two of a kind JJ. Do you like the Sub C any more or less than the 16610? Hope you get better.

azkri · 29 December 2010, 03:54 PM

Wish you the very best JJ.

GBJIV · 29 December 2010, 04:27 PM

JJ, prayers are with you. Sorry to hear that you have not been feeling well. Take Care!

KirkWilfred · 29 December 2010, 04:39 PM

Thanks JJ,

that is what I thought.

I did exactly the same with mine, in order to have a perfect centering of the clasp on my 6.75" wrist.

Watch Professor · 29 December 2010, 11:07 PM

Wonderful to have you posting again. Hoping the test results come out OK. Good choice with 2 Rolexes. I have my two- a 16610 and a GMT IIC. and happy with both. Have a happy and healthy New Year.

i sure you will be able to enjoy both more than before.

good to see you posting here again! (are you still active at TKF? havent seen this thread over there... yet)

Does everything we say over here have to be transcribed to over there? I'm a 1 forum man: if I can read, see, buy and enjoy the company on 1 forum then why in earth would I want to go to another forum just to repost something... other than to get maximin exposure.

just my 2cents
