Any Rolex additions on your list for 2008?

[retsyo]

I just refrain: Have a Happy New Year!


Additions for '08? Definitely.
I'm struggling with myself wether to do it or not:

A new steel DateJust with that great elegant "silver-black-/roulette"-dial.

That very watch is blowing my mind....

[ephedrin]

Hm... .will see what rolex roll out in Bazel.
perhaps a Milgauss.

I have no plans for 2008 because I upgraded my YG Day-Date 118208 from 2002 to the ultimate Rolex the Day-Date in Platinum 118206 with the Ice blue roman deal

It is an incredible watch, really understated

You can feel it is more heavy the YG. The DD PT weight around 225 gram and the YG around 170 gram depending of how many links you have on your bracelet

The new concealed claps on my new Day-Date is more solid a the feeling is that it is more secure than the old one

How do I post pictures?

Lars, just load your picture up to e.g. imageshack.us (free), the host will generate a code which to copy and paste (completely, with all brackets) into the dialogue field where you post comments.

Please mind that you use .jpg or any other common picture format and don't let the pics be too big.

Hope this helps...

I still wonder, whether a 116710 will get me or not...

Hope you like them?

Mike - we should have an Ohio delegation to Basel this year.

Lars - very nice photos! Please try to keep them no larger than 800x600 and under 250k in file size. Thanks!

i plan to buy the 116400gv. but if the time comes one of my than 4 watches must leave me
i really don´t know of holding the 116710 or the 116400gv....?
definetly the 16700 stays because it´my first rolex model and i will not sell the 116520 until i don`t have a new one....

[trk1969]

i just sold one of my two 14060M.
maybe the second one will have to go this summer since the new GMT just got my attention.

but we will see...

cheers!

I feel ready for something in gold. Looking forward to buy DD soon. Think I'm going for one form the eighties.

Christian - models from that era are mighty tempting. Single quicks can be had for about a third or less of the price of a brand new one at retail.

I had already an active 2008, a 16700 that came and left already. It will go for a good purpose to help children in need.

A Sub 168000 and a 5513 joined me in January. Now I am thinking to keep the 5513 for sure, its from my birthyear, but let the 168000 go and then I may go for my first brandnew Rolex, but I am undecided, most likely though a 116710, probably later in 2008. Also thinking about the green glass Milgauss, but I guess it is impossible to get right now, isn't it? Or is it just hype? I spoke to an authorized jeweler here in Chicago, and they told me that they can get me one if I buy a few other Rolexes before. Huhhh...

[ehemaliges mitglied 9711]

Still waiting for my 116400 GV.

And who knows what Basel brings...
