I decided to pull the trigger on this vintage 1675. It's an early 1970. I have the original riveted C.I. Oyster bracelet but am presently wearing it on this Maratac NATO strap...

Hi Everyone,

I think that Burt Reynolds is seen wearing one at the beginning of the film, HOOPER? Though I’m not positive? Although it certainly looks like one?
Also, I think he might be wearing one in the film, STROKER ACE?

Till next time…

My 16710 is getting an insert . . .

. . . but it'll be my daily wear when it gets back from my Rolex dealer next week.

E serial, Jubilee, red / black insert, with fresh regulation and pressure test . . .

Yes. Keep in mind this will be your only intervention. Blue pill or Red pill. Blue wire or Red wire. There is no turning back once you pass through that Door. Number. Three.

To save you years of aggravation, sideways glances from your significant other, late night bloodshot eyes from staring at your screen, I suggest you box up any watch that exceeds 15 years of age and ship them immediately to me.

This is purely for your benefit I assure you.

I love it. Altruism at its finest. Thank you for that generous offer.
I'm afraid it's too late.

Pics Friday.

Every "No" is one step closer to a "Yes"
