Thankful, this holiday week, for AD calls :)

Not one of the watches folks here rave about or praise (especially since its not the “polar”), but I’m absolutely loving it. I expected it to wear much bigger than my sub and GMT, but alas the slimmer lugs and bezel make it very sleek and elegantly functional for both dress and casual settings.

I opted for the black dial, true to the original ref. 1655 (and a bit of a sleeper in today’s market).

Obligatory pic - cheers all!

Nice pic ! Enjoy !

Max7857 · 27 November 2019, 05:25 AM

Congratulations! Looks awesome. I too was wanting a Polar. My AD said they had a black dial in the safe I could try on to see the fit. I liked it so much I decided not to wait on the Polar and bought it. Enjoy your new watch and the holidays.

I prefer the black dial because of how the hands appear to "float" due to their black base at the centre.

schoolboy · 27 November 2019, 05:29 AM

I praise that one!

Congrats

Odie-r · 27 November 2019, 05:31 AM

Lovely. Congrats!

Congrats, my polar says hi.

Congrats. Nice pic, it looks great.

RichM · 27 November 2019, 05:59 AM

I’ll praise that, and I’m a Polar owner. Congratulations

Congrats!

omx5o · 27 November 2019, 06:51 AM

A surprisingly comfortable watch. It's well balanced.

Gold Crown · 27 November 2019, 07:08 AM

It’s a great piece and wears very comfortably. Enjoy it.

FreshPrince14 · 27 November 2019, 07:20 AM

Congrats! Far nicer than the polar imo. Love the pop of the orange hand against the black.

Soo much better than the polar! I love mine!

slus · 27 November 2019, 07:34 AM

Looks great. That one is one of the few SS I'd likely leave with, if offered to me. Last time I tried one on the cases were full of every SS imaginable, probably 2011?

Oxfordian · 27 November 2019, 07:39 AM

Lovely watch, congratulations

1SG MTB · 27 November 2019, 07:46 AM

Very nice. My very first Rolex was the 5 digit version of your watch. I loved every minute of wearing it. Congrats!

ocN55 · 27 November 2019, 07:51 AM

Nice! One of my personal favorites...

Big congratulations. I think that is the best watch Rolex makes! You can anything with that watch on your wrist and it will never miss a beat.

LDN · 27 November 2019, 08:02 AM

trippinjimmy · 27 November 2019, 08:11 AM

Kudos for not following the herd and getting what speaks to you. Not my cup of tea, but that's why there are multiple references, right?

Wear it in good health!

Bizcut1 · 27 November 2019, 08:23 AM
