And picked up this Rolex Submariner at a shop that sells pre-owned Rolex's...This one is from 2000.... 18k and Stainless Steel....

 I can still feel the sting....ouch

Very nice, is this your first Rolex?  Its a very special kind of sting, but one that you treasure.

[rogart63]

The sting in the wallet  :lol: . That is a very nice watch congratulations.

 Yes it is . Thank you Guys , It is nice . I had been looking at this one since November .

It looks in mint condition.  A very beautiful and functional time piece.  As to the "sting in the wallet"...I am reminded of what a good friend often says to me when I "um and ah" about a purchase with a high price tag...  "You're a long time dead and you can't take the money with you."

 

Ricardo...just enjoy the fact that you were able to get the watch at a price much lower than if it was new and, remember, it is still a valuable Rolex which can only appreciate in value over time.

it's evident that you have a problem, louis. get out now. i'll help by taking your accutrons off of your hands. lol.

 

that's quite a piece of watchcraft. like i said, it would be a toss up between your speedtimer and this rolex for wrist time.

And next it will be a Vacheron Constantin Overseas and then a Patek...it only gets worse. Make sure you get a new Overseas though, with an exhibition case back and a blue dial so I can be even more jealous. LOL

Nice watch!

I just got this Hamilton Jazzmaster GMT the other day. I look forward to traveling with it.

It's probably going to be upside down.

An upside down Hamilton! Beautiful! :)

 

Cheers,

PS. I really love Hamiltons!

[Folkvisor]

Yeah, sorry. It doesn't even help to turn my iPad upside down...LOL

[bobm12]

:D

[ricardopalamino]

That Hamilton IS a beauty . I wouldn't have a problem wearing it upside down . I too really love Hamilton s . 

 

I've been wearing this vintage silver and gold for a few days.....

Your watch has rather unique dial. Very nice.

Is it true that Hamilton left the retail market for a time to produce watches exclusively for the U.S. Military? Someone told me that the other day.

[joelcarvajal]

Try wearing it on you other arm. It might resolve the upside down issue.[emoji12]

Genius, sheer genius! Why did no one else think of that?!

I don't know the answer to that one Dave . 

Have you checked out the Marathon diver I posted in this collection forum . This is a watch that is specked for the Military , but is also popular for civilian use . As a matter of fact , a "Sterile" version is available without the Government ID info on it.

Isn't Marathon made by Timex? I wouldn't be surprised if it was a higher division being it such an old and respected company. I believe they were the timekeepers of Olympics and other events -- or something important like those -- some time ago...
