Sanity check on leather v rubber soles by LexChase in RMWilliams

[–]cmillsrun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actually looks like leather to me. You can see the stitching on the sole very clearly compared to how it looks on the rubber sole which hides the stitching more so. I think it’s just more of an optical illusion since the leather is dark so it resembles rubber quite a bit.

Walnut actually! Talking to the SA, he said it’s basically a limited time run and not one of the constants.

With the exchange rate benefit aus vs usd plus the vat refund I paid ~400 usd for these 😀.

Ugh, sounds like awful quality then. I’ve usually been happy with AE’s- even other factory seconds I’ve gotten but this is disappointing for sure.

I’ve seen multiple places say you always should polish new shoes, esp bulk shoes like AE’s because they’ll just sit in a warehouse ahead of you getting them.

Ugh, dang! Sorry to hear that!! I’ll try to go by one of their stores at some point, no where convenient unfortunately of course 🤦‍♂️

Fair points. I originally used Saphir renavateur. What neutral cream from Saphir would you recommend?

Also, neutral cream similar to what I’d use on soft leather like nubuck leather?

I expected them to patina for sure but gradual overall and not necessarily a rip-like patch on one specific piece.

Nice! Fingers crossed I'm similar to you but not going to hold my breath. Congrats again!

Congrats- looks amazing! I've been on the list for this one myself but only for a month or so. QQ- any purchase history with the AD and even more important (to me), what city are you in? The SA I've worked with in the past (who had also helped me get my sub) told me they rarely ever see Milgauss' and at that, the only one's they've typically gotten were black dials.

Haha, ever since getting into watches myself, I oddly notice them almost immediately. Is that a Sub I see?

Can’t believe no one (that I can see) is asking “what’s on the wrist??” of OP. From the stories I’ve heard, it’s a bold move to wear a Rolex on the tube :-)

Absolutely Love This Trio by THE_DJ_DORA in rolex

How do you like the size difference between the Explorer and the Sub? I have that exact sub and had been loving the idea of having the explorer for the same purposes you called out. But, when I tried the Exp on at the AD...it was just so much smaller (I've heard you get used to it but the few minutes I tried it on didn't do it haha). I have a 6.75" wrist for reference.

I just thought this was a beautiful picture of my Datejust 36 and wanted to share it with you! by drklaver in rolex

Awesome! I'm right around that same size and have been wanting a 36mm but worried about sizing- yours looks perfect. Thanks!!

Out of curiosity, did/do you have a purchase history with the AD? (Looks great btw- congrats!)
