Watches III

Aiyah bro, I bought my first AP in 2008... the Volcano... For a couple of years, it felt cool to be wearing it and everybody was gushing about it. In that time I also bought the Safari, Rose Gold Rubberclad, and the Navy. Never believed in paying twice or triple the price of a standard ROO for Juan Pablo Montoya or Barrichello. I have posted pics of the watches before in black-and-white so you guys were guessing which models they were because you couldn't see the colours. I was trying to make a point: APs are pretty dumb watches.... a different coloured rehaut, different coloured numerical index, different coloured dial or dial with some alteration to it, they call it a new model or they give it some grandiose moniker and brand (also price) it as such, to the extent of having some celebrity sporting it on his/her wrist (yes even for the non-signature models).

 

I am left with only a Safari now.... it is the least "beng-ish" of the APs I possessed.

 

I discovered just how farked up the situation was when I was selling my APs. The people who came to buy, OMG..... brand new Mercedes coupes, brand new Porsches, cannot speak proper English, stinking of new, fast wealth, one of them even got very friendly with me and said, "I just sold my property, now got a lot of money". OMG I couldn't believe he told me that within the first ten minutes of meeting me!

 

 

I know you got your APs early.

And if you recall , i mentioned many times on this Watches thread that those were the exact reasons i myself wont buy AP except the classic models.

 

Anyway am so glad you hopped on the Rolex clan with nothing less than a solid gold Daytona.

The Safari is worth the keep, it is a classic in the offshore range.

 

A solid gold President next?

So that we can all sit together at. chinatown coffeeshop and not look out of place?

ya...cousin :)

 

Liked it previously over the Diver due to the additional tinge of color.

 

Thought the diver was only released recently and the Scubas in red/blue were kind of released a few years back?

Yep, scubas came in red/blue/orange/black(wempe)

 

I was deciding if i should get the Diver but decided to get the blue scuba instead from the mkt

The white faced one has more contrast but the chocolate one is very nice too :)

 

Hope to see you get it soon [bounce2]

Brown dial is nice. But for daytonas i still prefer the classic stardard models.

Viceroy just got one recently, i am looking for a similar one
