In 1986 I received my first Rolex from my Father. It was a Sub. You cannot fathom the sheer joy that I experimented. From that day forward I became a timepiece enthusiast. I did, however, make the pledge to never buy a Rolex again. The pledge kept for 24 years. Much to my dismay and surprise Rolex manufactured an item that I could not ignore: the milgauss GV. Against all odds I went out and bought the infamous piece. Now, was I wrong? Everything indicates the opposite. Please shed some light.

Regards,

Tanqin

Seems pretty normal to me

You liked it and you got it, no wrong doing here

Just don't wait another 24 years to buy the 3rd one

Your watches complement each other. For me, the Sub is great for casual wear, and I'm casual most of the time. The GV is nice for going out to dinner, a party, etc. Both make me feel good. Congratulations on acquiring the GV!

But so aren't we all?

You're absolutely crazy! - for pledging against Rolex.

Welcome back to the fold, and congratulations on the recent addition.

HL65 · 8 July 2010, 07:37 PM

Yes--We are all crazy!!

Welcome to our crazy world

IMO the only thing that's crazy is your self imposed 24 year exile.

You could have picked up a 6265 at Retail minus discount !!!

24 year pledge for no Rolex = madness
GV = cool guy, great taste, imaculate watch

Psmith · 8 July 2010, 10:04 PM

Good work Tanqin - how about some pics

Cheers

X2.. Totally agreed!

If by some chance, you feel crazy, you're not alone. As long as you only "hear" Rolex voices, you're fine!
