A Rolex watch & a Rolex to watch!!!!

PART 1: A Rolex Watch

So I got in my new 16800 from LawrenceB, its a beauty!!!

Everything he promised!!! I have been wearing my 14060m for the last month or so and I am amazed at putting on the 16800 how much more wrist presence it has over the 14060m.

Here is a wrist shot for ya!



PART 2: Rolex sports car series Six Hours at Watkins Glen, below is a screen shot from my LCD TV on my DVR for the first Rolex commercial in this Rolex series race!

What could be better fine cars, and fine watches

Didn't think I was a patina gut until I say this one...I personally think the khaki patina looks better with white gold surrounds!

Why has the matte dial w/ patina been so popular? Just cause less were made. I have seen way more matte dial subs with patina than the gloss dial with the WG surrounds.

Ken, that last chocolate you posted looked amazing, didnt think I was a tropical person either, looks like that might be changing as well!

Looks awesome! I have a 16800 with WG surrounds and a light patina. I love it, but have the matte dial bug now and am in the process of trading up. It is really just personal preference. I might get a matte dial and change my mind. I've been known to do that. Awesome pic, thanks for sharing!
