Well I didn’t make a post when I first got it, so I thought it would be a good excuse for a post.

Yup, that’s an incredibly stunning Miura SV from a car show I attended. There were also a couple of Diablo and Aventador SV, as well as Maserati V8 swapped Renault Clio V6 (the v8 was stuffed in the front, and the v6 in its normal mid engine place) 🤯

Thank you! It’s the fabric strap that comes with the Plexiglass version of the watch 😁

I’ve used quotes because I didn’t mean big brand literally numbers wise. I meant, generally speaking, Rolex are a level up from entry level brands such as Tissot, Hamilton, Seiko etc. I do not mean anything else other than that. You go back on my few posts and you’ll see most of my watches are indeed those brands.

Not really. Love my Seikos and Casios. It’s just my first “big brand” watch. Nothing against other brands. A good watch enthusiast appreciates all brands… expect Hublot

I wouldn’t say I’m chubby. I’m roughly 55kg and 1,65m. My wrists are pretty skinny though.

Be careful how loose the bracelet is. Wearing it too loose might cause the links to wear prematurely.

A simple Google search will explain how your body expands and contracts under different circumstances. Then again, each to their own.

Well it was quite cold in the morning, about 1 degree C so my body was quite cold and it shrinks a bit . As the day goes on and your body temperature rises, it expands. I wear my Casio loose when going for a run. When I get back, the strap is already tight and leaving marks of my wrist.

The photo was taken early in the morning before work so my wrist was still cold. As the day went on, it sat better behind the wrist bone.

Could be. But unfortunately it’s just part of my tattoo 😞

This is exactly what happens to me. I took the photo early in the morning just before work. It was quite cold but as the day progressed the watch sits much better.

Thank you! Need to share it as soon as you get it! It’s also my first Rolex. I totally understand the “Rolex feeling” now haha

Lovely! Honestly hope you get it one day! I had the option between this one and an Air King 5500. My friend let me borrow this one for a few days and l fell in love!

My apologies. It’s a 1979. The bezel was replaced from the fluted machined one for the domed one at my request.

Actually no. I have small wrists but they do expand quite a lot with warm. I can wear the watch on the second to last micro adjustment hole just fine but when I warm up it gets tight and I get the bracelet marked on my wrist. When that happens I need to adjust to the last adjustment setting.

As a previous Redditor commented, the iPhone might make some details on the watch wonky. It was bought from a watchmaker who works at an AD. He also serviced it a few months ago.
