A Rolex 1680/8 Submariner-Date 650ft above the City of London this morning...

Am I getting old? I'm starting to fancy an all gold Sub now!

MG's brother's?

I'm off to the dealer here (Ben Bridge, Houston, TX) this evening and may take the opportunity to try some stuff on (they didn't take the GMT in for service at the weekend as the watchmaker was away and no one else could check the serial numbers etc apparently)...

They have an almost full compliment of Rolex models, including the ceramic dial sports watches in stock! Could be fun!

Still wearing my Hydroconquest everyday, three months in now.

Still on the original bracelet - it has the odd scuff now so i'm not so precious/worried about it now! - maybe i'll mix things up with a shark mesh bracelet one day, or a blue Toshi strap. Having said this, the polished centre links which I was unsure about have really grown on me, and add to the watches appearance, making it stand out a little. It's a comfortable well designed substantial bracelet too, so why change it...

I only take it off to wash/work on the bike. It's keeping fantastic time, very near (if not) COSC. Very comfortable, and easy to read, and the bezel stands out beautifully when it catches the sun - i'm glad I went for blue!

I don't stare at it as much as I used to, but I sure love it! For a special never-sell watch for my 21st birthday, I chose well smile It's transpired since day one that that it is so nice that it just has to be worn everyday - and fortunately, it makes a great everyday watch thats for sure. Thanks to the people who recommended it! biggrin

Glad you like your Hydroconquest. I have mine on a Hirsch leather strap at the moment. £30-odd, it's 22mm but fits the 21mm Longines lugs just fine.

^^ I can't believe I missed the earlier pictures - very nice.

Looks like you've got the odd sticker still on the watch though

Nice review of a fantastic watch. I'm a year in with mine now and love it. Ridiculous value for money, I don't think there's anything in its price range to touch it.
