        Have you taken a look at the new Sea Dweller @Finn666? It might be an alternative to the Submariner, if you're looking for another option.

          @QuantumMechanic that Deep Sea is gorgeous.

          I took a look at a boutique only limited edition Memovox last year with a blue dial. It's not got the diving touches of yours, and I prefer the Deep Sea design.

          Really like that Memovox. I have my eye on a Jaeger Master Calendar. No dealers near me though.

              Nothing to choose between them really.
              Both fantastic watches.
              Just down to personal taste.
              I'm more of a GMT fan.

                If anyone wants some watch porn, the Hodinkee shop has a 1950s mil-spec Fifty Fathoms with a bronze case in stock.

                Unfortunately they're asking $65,000 for it. Sorry @Giles. 😞

                There's also a very cool Rolex King Midas. I've got a soft spot for radical 1970s cases.

                    I've had a GMT master ll since 1991 that I've now given to Jules, who loves it and wears it well. Gorgeous watch that came into its own whilst I was flying in the RAF.

                      When Rolex released the updated GMT Master II in 2005 it should have been called the Master III.

                      All the cosmetic changes make it a different watch, in my opinion, a pretty ugly one in comparison to its previous designs.

                      The typeface on the bezel reminds me of my blind great grandmothers landline phone…

                        Me too, but mostly because I'm on the ass end of the world, and knowing the time where all you cool cats are is kinda useful 🙂 Afternoon EU folks, morning US folks 😉

                          @Finn666 sorry, probably the worst photo. only realised now after taking a quick snap earlier today at work.. my skin tone just blends everything in with my wallet..  😞

                          edit: fixed the photobucket problem..

                                I dunno I'm partial to the GMT > (black) Sub. Whilst the SD > GMT. That being said, it's my .02 that the GMT is the nicest designed modern-day Rolex. The Hulk is the nicest of the submariners, though.

                                  I prefer @QuantumMechanic's Jaeger to the GMT, but my watch tastes aren't entirely Catholic. 😃

                                  Were I buying a Rolex, it'd probably be the Air-King or Explorer.

                                  Incidentally, the new Sea Dweller that I highlighted yesterday has the new generation Rolex movement, which has a longer power reserve (70 hours versus 48 hours), and is more resistant to magnetism. The downsides are that it's more expensive, and has a 43 mm diameter, which might make it too big.

                                    thanks rocket. the moment i saw the strap, i knew it was the one. i have another camo, like woodland camo but it didn't quite fit compared to this sand camo..

                                    well come on QM, the best looking sub has to be a red sub..

                                    anyway, a random questions guys, thoughts on rolex servicing? it just crossed my mind that i haven't serviced it once since 4 years ago, or maybe i had just once..

                                      If i didnt had a marriage to pay for id buy a pinion watch right now. I dont like watches in general but they look so great.  Cant stop looking at them.

                                        I agree! I was more thinking of modern-day rolex watches and budget friendliness for Finn666.

                                            curiously as i thought of it the other day, i haven't serviced my rolex since i got it 4 years ago..

                                            what are your thoughts on servicing guys? maybe @Tempvs too.. i'd love to hear what you think..
