Wrist Shot Of The Day: Dalip's Baby Grabbing for His Rolex LV


Wrist Shot Of The Day
Dalip's Baby Reaching for His Rolex LV

I always think it is really cute when people take photos of their kids with their Rolex and I imagine that is one of the things that makes Rolex special. You don't see people taking wrist shots with their kids while wearing a Timex or Patek–at least I haven't.

Rolex Macro Wrist-Shot Of The Day...



Rolex Macro Wrist-Shot Of The Day
Bisquitlips Mother-Of-Pearl Yacht-Master
[Reference 16623]

Bisquitlips is the funniest avatar name in the online community. Every time I see it, it makes me giggle :-))))) Speaking of Bisquitlips, if you have never seen his avatar up front, you've gotta click here to check it out!!! How beautiful is that Tahitian pink and green backtoned Mother-Of-Pearl dial!?!?!!!!

I also love how on yellow gold Rolex Yacht-Master dials, how Rolex uses gold paint for the writing and minute marks. One of the other details I love on the Yachtmaster is the Maxi-Markers and Fat-Hands. This watch really is some kind of wonderful!!!

A Vintage Rolex From Beyer in Zürich, Switzerland...


A Vintage Rolex
From Beyer in Zürich, Switzerland

Beyer in Zürich, Switzerland is one oldest watch retailer in the world and they and they are about to celebrate their 250th Anniversary in 2010. This vintage Rolex Oyster appears to be from the late 1920's or early 1930's.

It's very interesting (T. Walker Lloydism) how this watch and the one in the post below it both have special Rolex AD reseller dial designations on them, yet one is from Switzerland and the other is from South America.
