1655 Back from a Business Trip...

Well, I just returned home from a 2-week business trip to Shanghai and Tokyo. I decided to wear my 1655 for the whole trip as I'm still enamored with it and wanted to show a friend who really likes Rolex. Not that it should be a surprise, but it was a great wear the whole time and is none the worse for wear (other than some new desk diving scratches on the clasp).

Here are some table shots while in Tokyo at a sushi spot and with my friend's and his wife's watches nearby. Played with a new macro lens on these...fun for using it the first time. The last iPhone shot is of his new 16713 while taking me to Narita in his fantastic sounding C63 AMG!

Anyhow, the message is...wear those vintage pieces!!
