Dino Asked For This, Blame Him
Alright Dino, you asked for this. Let me say that I am no artist, I don't have a very creative 'artsy' mind, and I've got no photographic skills other than pushing the 'snap' button. These are the best I can do at trying to capture my watch with some perspective. Cheers - JBA, M.D.

Well, with regards to all the nicknames around here for watches (Hulk, Bluesy, Blue Angel, Shark, etc.), I've named mine 'The King', although I don't refer to it as such except to myself. Strange, I know...

Thanks one and all. It's much harder to take these picture than the usual wrist shots. And it makes me feel kinda dorky, but it's kinda fun, too!

This thread is classic! I still vote Dr. JBA for TRF Rolex spokesman of the year as there is no denying the Dr. genuinely loves his timepiece! It looks great on you, as I said before an will say again Dino has no chance but to succumb to the enablement! Now it's just a matter of guessing what 18k model he will pick up

Haha, thanks Sam. I do really love my piece. I hope Dino gets as much joy out of his Gold as I have. Now we all just have to wait on which piece it will be!

The King looks spectacular and from someone who has named a couple of mine "Blue Angel" and "Tango", I'm all for it. Adds character.... not that that beauty of yours needs any help
Beautiful |

Thanks! If I'm honest, I don't think of it too much as 'The King,' it was just a spiffy nickname I made up thanks to this place, and it kind of has a nice jingle to my ear. |
