Rolex
First of all, I'm a HUGE fan of this new sub-section of the off-topic forum! I've been a watch fanatic almost as long as I've been a car enthusiast. Obviously, being young and in school, I don't have a huge collection that I've seen from many here in the various 'general' watch discussions.
But, as a graduation gift from high school / a gift for getting into a top university I was given a Rolex GMT Master II. I just wanted to start a thread for the Rolex watch brand in general, so people can show off the models they wear and discuss the brand in general (I know that there is a lot of controversy over Rolex, especially compared to other 'high-end' brands such as Cartier, Omega, Patek Phillipe, and Audemars Piguet, etc). But here is my watch! Share yours!

i have a datejust with a sodalite diamond dial. it's about 15 yrs old (though i picked it up 10 yrs ago, unworn with all stickers etc). got a great deal on it. rolex is the shit, there are other more expensive snob brands, but as far as quality, reliability, and reputation, rolex loses to nothing. it's a watch for all seasons: i've worn it to weddings, open water swimming, ghettofab with a cheap tshirt and nikes, or a night out with rockstar jeans.
aside from a few hairline scratches, it looks as good as the day i picked it up. and it's worth a lot more now too. if it stays winded, does not lose a second even after months. if i was to get a second rolex, it would be the one with the meteorite dial: literally out of this world!

Beautiful watches everyone!

Also, I do love the pics, but could we keep this discussion focused on Rolex? There are a couple of other 'general watch' threads, but I would like to keep this one specific to the brand. I may start a Tag Heuer one as well. And I assume it's encouraged that other threads for other brands (cartier, omega, audemars piguet, patek phillipe, etc) start springing up!
