Things you love about your Rolex?
I like the Lume on my explorer: Its pretty awesome!
I also like the Mercedes Hand, it gives it a nice touch. Finally, I like the little laser engraved Coronet, excuse me for the dust on this photo. What do you like about your rolex? |

I life the feel and the weight of my Rolexes. (Datejust and TT Sub). I like the sound of the ticking, when I wear it to bed. I like the "Cyclops". I like the shine of the 18K gold. I like the smooth feeling of the turn, as I unscrew the crown, like it has some kind of hydraulic fluid or something. I like the sound of the "clicks" as I turn the bezel. I love the color of the Blue and gold combination, as it always takes me back to the moment when I saw the ad for this watch some years ago (a picture of a yacht). I love the sparkles on the ceiling of my car as I drive, the sun reflecting against the fluted bezel of my DateJust. I love the curves of the DJ's case. I love the comfort of the Jubilee band, and how it wraps around my wrist as though it was custom made. Lastly, I like the feeling every morning, when I put on the watch as the last step of my morning routine.
Tht's just me. Pretty shallow, but never the less, true. |

Its clarity!
Just looking at that beautiful dial through its thick sapphire crystal with every marking and piece of lettering utter perfection, it just seems to have a clearness and clarity which I haven't seen on any other brand of watch...almost jewel like! |

I like that it's tough and versatile enough to go from diaper changes to soapy dishwater to yard work to a sushi dinner!

I like the simple and practical look of the sub. I also like the way the black looks so deep and you can't mistake the oyster bracelet when seen from across the room....

I would have to say the two tone of the steel on the bracelet, and the way indirect low light in a dark room makes the hands seem to radiate a soft light. haha :)
