Great Story Dino. I know how you feel when you have to work really hard for that Rolex.

The Sub LVc is a nice watch, but I think it looks much better in the metal than it does in any photo - even though some of your photos are really good. I'm not sure why, but the green dial doesn't seem to lend itself to photos in quite the same way as the black dial does.

As for having a Rolex at your age...that's good going! I would have killed for one back when I was that young! I'm trying to make up for it now, though!

Thanks man

It certainly is a hard one to photograph!

The GMTIIc is a cracking watch... Just a few things that used to pull me away from it. If you like it, go for it!

There really is a pride and passion in ownership.

Great pix. Prefer the Sub over that model of GMT.

Puffy · 24 September 2011, 01:05 AM

nice work mate!

agree with the PCLs, if you don't like hairline marks then you need to go all brushed

Great read Dino

What a great ride it has been, I am looking forward to the next stop, is it still a Daytona? I think it is time to sell that new car and grab another watch

The next watch I will get my hands on wont be until next year now mate. I'm aiming towards a DayDate of some form. Or a TT GMTIIc

Nice!!

Oyster1982 · 25 September 2011, 12:50 PM

Dino, the LV seems to be the best choice. I could not have an oyster band with pcl's I would end up being commited to an insane asylum. I like to see people from generation Y accomplishing goals, because the older generations look down on us. Congrats on your journey therough watches and life, hope the rest of your years are just as splendid.
