It's all relative. I think many people start off thinking £250 is a lot and things spiral out of control from there. It's a disease I tell you!!

I'll think about doing a sales post as would be better being worn more as not getting much wrist time with me.

Holy thread resurrection.... Is there much love for these still on here? I've a pretty much mint full set example which I picked up a few years ago from Alastair if I remember correctly and I've just never worn it much because it was mint. No idea what it's worth now, guessing less than an LV desire being much rarer! How many are left on here?

I would consider using Duncan at Genesis for a service but if you're selling I can understand why you might choose Rolex. I haven't been on here for a long while but remember your observations on the LV when it's value for c£5k max! Strange times for certain watches.....

I've been MIA from here for a while however I recall some years ago there was a member who was modding a couple of these using Tag dials to create a chronos like this. My RLT29 is as upgraded by Roy, with the Tag knurled crown and back. The screw in crown no longer works as with many others but it doesn't see water so not an issue for me.

Finally joined the Rolex club after years of resistance!

My only squarish one...

This for me sourced from a forum member, with a quirky Fortis as runner up. All went a bit vintage this year with a few older pieces arriving.

Regular wearer when at home

I is not surprised. Great make and lovely looking watch so congrats. I miss the Conquest Heritage I had for a while and suspect I'll pick up another at some point as it was just lovely in an olde worlde type gone by kind of way.

Errr that's a Rolex which several pages back you ruled out for ageist reasons. Are you ready for a grown up's watch? Surely the Forum should vote on this.

That adds to it's appeal to me, it has the clarity of design of a Rolex but an unassuming image/presence at a more affordable price. Oh and the blue is the clincher. Black is so meh ;)

Whilst there may be a grain of truth in that:

Why post 1990? Quick tempting Tudor sub shot on a slim flat 6.75“ wrist... Below my wrist is the abyss into which all other watches will fall ;)

Maybe everyone should own a Speedie at some point but they are common as owt, exist in multiple variations and manual winding means it would get less wear with me. I've slim wrists too so as a daily wearer I'd suggest: Modern - the new 36mm BB or an Explorer if you need to scratch that Rolex itch. Old - a Tudor sub, 79190, before they hit the £3k mark.
