My first rolex

[sc0tt]

Had my tudor heritage bay red for a year now but it was never really a rolex.

Popped out for half an hour this afternoon and got this from watchfinder at the royal exchange.



Chuffed

Only wanted a £500 blue faced watch at the start of the week

Nice, that was an expensive lunch

Great choice, very nice.

Well done. It's very difficult to not buy a Rolex I think. You can buy other watches, thinking they'll do, but one day it'll hit you.

Good work.

I have to agree wholeheartedly on this reply well put Femur,It's why I could never wear a fake Rolex I know at a glance you can't tell the difference,but I would know.!

[hosedoctor]

By the way what year and how much did you get it for if you don't mind me asking?

[sc0tt]

18 years old and a few hundred less than 4.

Was up for £3950.

The tudor wont see much daylight now.

[dc2rr07]

18 years, Iooks like new cracking buy.

[rog007]

Near perfect shot too with a cracking shirt showing just the right amount of cuff; double points!

[sc0tt]

Only way to wear a suit. Thank you.

Just checked its actually a 99 model.

Had a link taken out this morning in Goldsmiths. In my excitement i took it and when driving it was too loose and twisted now.

That looks very nice, good choice OP. Enjoy wearing.

Looking to move on my as new tudor. Check your thread

[dieselgrunt]

Pure class.

bitten by the bug!! would be interested to know your thoughts on how the rolex and tudor compare because tudor fans basically say they're the same watch.

[battered]

They can't be the same because AIUI the whole point of Tudor is that it's a bought-in mech while a Rolex is a Rolex mech made on site. If this is important to you then it justifies the difference but either way it's a real difference.

Nice watch, but not to my taste. Clearly it's to yours, so enjoy it.

Tudor is far heavier. Rolex for me is more classy and much slimmer.

I'll be honest for me its just a watch. Wanted one for years so I don't know much about the intricate details but I know what I like.

I'm already thinking of moving the tudor on when I was adamant I wouldn't on friday.

Very difficult not to like the sub, looks like its had new dial at service at some point in its life

Nice choice, and much better than those blue faced horrors you were looking at.
