Now this is massive fusion - the way only Rolex can do it!!Yes, guys....
A superb blend of technology in fusing a massive piece of solid 18 K gold onto steel.

Just wait a few weeks and that gold will be covered in scratches, just like mine.

Superglue might not hold up to JJ's repeated bathing pictorials...
I have it on good authority that Geneva have a special supply of Wickes All Outdoor Gripfill for the special Irani editions.

Nice, JJ. I've just managed to order a new TT Daytona clasp for my YM here in the UK. It has cost a whopping £1100. It is a lovely bit of engineering though

I wonder how many places he's going to post pics of that thing before he flips it. Why doesn't he take out a full page ad in the NY Times, FT, WSJ, International Herald Tribune, etc. Then we can be done with it.

Some of us enjoy having and wearing watches...which I think are a small mechanical miracle..
Others like to buy them, photograph and display on forums and "share" with their friends... This means that you need to get lot's of them to be able to enjoy this latter pastime.... after you bathe, photograph, and polish it, the fun wears off, and it's off to the next one..
............Like wives for some of us.........
