The trio: the new and the old

Still experimenting with the camera - as you can see, I don't have a very good camera. Apology for the crappy photos. Promise to get a new and better camera in the near future. My first and newly acquired chrono watch, Daytona; my eight or nine year old tool watch (from mountain biking, to snorkling, to jet skiiing, and from being head butted, to being kicked, to being dropped, to being thrown, to being nicked, and to being scratched), GMT II 16710; a family legacy (trying to share a piece of the experience of owning a DJ with my father who owned a 28+ year old DJ until he past away 10 years ago). To me, Rolex isn't just Rolex. At the same time, it's all about Rolex and more.






Clear crystal sapphire is always greener on the GV side. Cheers!!

Nice treo you have there! A watch for all occasions!

Love your choice of datejust actually, does it still get much wrist time with your other watches?

You do not need a new camera. You take good pictures! More importantly you have a great trio.

You have three beautiful watches and the photos are not as bad as you say. Taking photos of jewelry of any kind is very difficult! I use a light box and still have trouble with glare and reflections. Keep shooting! Cheers, Bill P.

Thank you guys for the kind words. My watch photography is still at its infancy compared to the photos taken and posted by the members of the forum - with good angle, clear images, and sharp details. I really enjoyed these Rolexes, especially the DateJust in the past few months as I come to appreciate its simplicity, versatility, and elegance. In the coming months, I will be spending some quality time with my Daytona as I search for and consider my next watch goal for the new year - perhaps a GV or TT GMT. Anyways, Happy Chinese NewYear.
