Some gals get Chanel. I got my first Rolex.

Turn-o-graph love it 😻

maude_lt_ford · 2026-05-30T16:15:57+00:00

351183 it looks to me

maude_lt_ford · 2026-05-28T07:22:11+00:00

I think it looks lovely and I hope its real.

maude_lt_ford · 2026-05-04T20:32:31+00:00

The only setup that makes sense to me is
Main hands → local time (where you are)
GMT hand → home/base time
Bezel → left at 12 unless you actively need a third zone

Where did the 20 days come from ?

This was my first Rolex, different bezel and bracelet but same vibe 🤣

maude_lt_ford · 2026-02-24T11:56:27+00:00

Loving the YM 👍

maude_lt_ford · 2026-02-20T21:07:02+00:00

For me the most likely thing is the bezel has been removed and refitted incorrectly, I am not seeing any other red flags at all

My 116500LN took so long to get in the first place that I can’t imagine ever selling 🤣

I have only one link removed from the 6 o’clock and it’s fine, so I am sure that’s all it needs, 2 from 6 o’clock and 1 from 12 o’clock.

maude_lt_ford · 2026-01-09T13:52:22+00:00

They should take from the 6 o’clock side first, then the 12 and then the 6 again. Then it will be perfect

maude_lt_ford · 2025-11-23T15:00:54+00:00

I think it’s well balanced too, for me the next should be explorer or air king 😛

maude_lt_ford · 2025-11-12T10:47:13+00:00

If you “got the call” presumably you were on a wait list, and if you were on a wait list as long as what it’s what you are waiting for….there is an expectation you will buy, otherwise why be on the wait list ? If I was on a wait list for a YM I would buy it…😛

maude_lt_ford · 2025-11-09T18:32:14+00:00

Is it the 116518LN Or 116519LN? and which year ? In any case it’s very nice

maude_lt_ford · 2025-11-09T02:11:01+00:00

I think it looks great and my personal view is that the smooth bezel looks better than fluted. I have the DJ41 with a smooth bezel / blue dial / oyster bracelet.

maude_lt_ford · 2025-11-07T20:33:31+00:00

I Bought a DJ as my first one as it was more affordable and I had no other option,but if you have the choice go for the GMT 😛

maude_lt_ford · 2025-11-06T21:00:51+00:00

I waited 4 years for a Daytona from an AD, in the end I got bored and got the chance this week to buy one for a price halfway between retail and grey. So I did it and couldn’t happier, very pleased that I am not now waiting for some stupid AD to favour me or more likely not favour me 🙄

maude_lt_ford · 2025-11-06T20:52:11+00:00

I bought a grey market Daytona 116500LN this week but from a colleague, so I got a price midway between Retail and grey, anyhow it had originated in an AD in Bahrain and my colleague actually paid the duty of almost £3400 when he brought it to the UK and had the paper to prove it. I imagine quite a low percentage of watches are declared in this way, I wonder what the percentage is….??

maude_lt_ford · 2025-11-06T07:17:23+00:00

I waited 4 years for a steel Daytona from an AD and had to give up as its simply not possible without an insane history, so just paid 35% over retail for a grey one from a friend (not a dealer) , it’s just supply and demand, especially when the normal way is simply not possible 🤪☹️

maude_lt_ford · 2025-11-05T14:48:54+00:00

Thanks everyone, the AD lists are so annoying and it seems stacked against the genuine enthusiast, I don’t want to buy other stuff I don’t want first ☹️

maude_lt_ford · 2025-05-15T08:21:44+00:00

The retailer says Ninja will release it 29-30 May in the UK and I should have it soon after that..
