Any wristwatch enthusiasts here?

Found a NOS of this 2016 version and just purchased it. The one in the case is the actual one I purchased. Can't wait for it to arrive.

Thanks, it is a 2 in 1 for me. I get to combine my hobby of watches and my favorite strongman.

I have been looking for this original model for a few years and am so happy I didn't settle for the newer version now.

That's a good looking watch, congrats!

Not that it's of any monetary value but I still have my Timex watch from my parents for my third grade graduation in 1969.

Nice, do you have a picture of it? I have had this one since around the 3rd grade and amazingly it still works.

Very nice Jeff! Rolex’s serial numbers are unreliable or non-existent pre-1930s from my experience, so you either have to rely on hallmarks (non-existent on the Canadian imports) or hope for engraving. It’s amazing how well watches work over a century later.

Todeen, beautiful Rolex and love the stories behind each of your watches. The stories, in my opinion, are what make watches special. Mine mark special occasions in my life but always wished I made more of those family pieces—I have one that my dad traded for when serving overseas, and it makes me happy every time I wear it.

That is a cool video. It is amazing how many are little moving parts are inside a watch.

They must have run over it with a tank to break the crystal like that. I have hit mine extremely hard many times and not even a scratch. Each time I cringe then look down and am happy it is still perfect.
