Defender VS Rolex watch

Rolexs be fragile

I've used my Omega for golf and shooting with no problems (touch wood)

Yeah but you wont get reptitive vibrations for long periods whilst shooting or golfing...

I use mine on my Crosser, and i've had it in for a service and they said they replaced the part on it FOC as it had signs of early wear (only had it 18 months).

Good of em!

i have a submariner... it was bought 18 years ago, sat in a box for 18 years then given to me, all was fine for about 3 months then it developed a problem with the winder, went for a full service to rolex hq, came back problem still existed, went away again all fixed now...

when you sent it for servicing didn't you get a little green card stating 'This watch has undergone a complete overhaul... function guaranteed for 2 years...'

it took just over 2 months for the full service then second time around was just under 2 weeks as it was a warranty not a service...

my next watch will be a black daytona, my dad has a regular daytona but the black's are out of this world...

Dr_evil · Oct 23, 2011

Not a fan of daytona's

Only Rolexs I really like are the subs and sea dwellers

Omegas just look a bit nicer IMO as do certain U-Boats

it is 'the ultimate driver's watch'

... i tried to trade my sub in for a daytona when i first got it...

Dr_evil · Oct 23, 2011

I think you're mistaken

The ultimate driving watch would surely be the Tag Heuer Monaco

Unless any of 'em are EP90 proof up to a depth of 10m they're all useless to me as a drivers watch...

that's what rolex label it as, not me...

Dr_evil · Oct 23, 2011

My tag heuer f1 is landrover proof

Omega, not sure yet

Then rolex are wrong, the new Monaco is a masterpiece

The movement is far more intriguing than that of a rolex or any traditional watch

Weirdly, i drive exactly the same with my hand always on the gearlever unless turning etc.

This could be down to learning to drive in an old citreon which kept jumping out of gear so i had to hold the gear stick in place...

no its cos you are a traditional man and long may we live in this world of ****

I doff my hat to you sir

The submariner isn't 18 years old at all.

It's about 2 years now. Mine's a Submariner and i got it around 6 months after launch...

Dr_evil · Oct 24, 2011

you sure its just not a remodel of the old one ?

Igloo · Oct 24, 2011

Appears it is, Mine is identical to that in every single way.

Apologies
