Like I'm home. Like putting on a nice pair of jeans Friday evening after wearing a suit all day.

Get the Rolex when your ready and keep the tudor as a daily

I do not wear mine to work. I wear it more at home and when working from home. So when coming home it is a nice luxury to put it on

Rolex reminds me of a famous film.

Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory. Rolex is the equivalent for adults .

Dressy.....but casual.

It's a nice feeling to wear a great watch. Each of my watches have some personal significance to them, which is another source of good vibes.

This one makes me want to go climb a mountain and explore some caves.



This one makes me want to travel to different time zone just so I can use the GMT hand.

My Yacht-Master II gold 116688 is so pretty and expensive that sometimes when I go places people treat me like crap because they are jealous. My watch tells everyone that I am boss and we know what we are doing plus it was not passed down and I bought it. My wife's super diamond masterpiece tells everyone to shut up and this watch is so expensive that you can buy 5X submariner gold 16618 at 15k. I was eating with my wife in Santa Monica by the water and the lights reflected all over the place and got a lot of attention. My wife does not wear it much in public due to the bling bling so she wears her mid size platinum yacht which is classy also I have the men's yacht to match.

Pavlos, good thread. Your OP is super hot! Such a great Rolex for a great price. Rolex hit a home run on that model. I own the Grape and love it.


How does a Rolex make me feel. I came from somewhat humble beginnings. Been working since I was 13. Having a Rolex on my wrist is just a sigh of relief for me that I've kinda made it. Like I'm not rich but I'm comfortable. It was just a minor luxury that I finally afforded myself. It feels good.


Wearing this right now. Cheers all.

I only have the one Rolex and it makes me proud that I have worked hard and been able to afford it.

Been through a few different models and settled on this Yachtmaster. So comfortable. I have strict one in - one out policy so my GMTiiC is on the chopping block. Also nice to have a model that is seen less often.
