LV v. Standard Submariner...

In the images below, the top image is a Sea Dweller next to an LV Submariner.  You notice the LV wears larger since black makes a watch look smaller, just like black slacks make you look trimmer than white.

Image below is an LV sub next to a non-date sub.


New School LV Maxi vs. Old School Roger Moore Maxi...

If you click on the image below you can see the current LV sub next to an early 1970s Roger Moore as James Bond Submariner with HUGE Maxi Markers that are even bigger and more visible than the LV. 

Rolex really has gone in a full circle...

Barry White Tradmark Yellow Gold Rolex Day-Date...


The Ladies Definitely Digg Barry White. When I think of certain famous people who wear Rolex I think of people like Barry White sporting his Trademark Yellow Gold Day-Date.

We will all miss Barry, but at least we still have his timeless music. Barry White really was bigger than life...


You know Barry had to add some extra links to this bracelet...




I think Barry is sending us a message from the other side with this one to always remember to stop and smell the flowers!!! Don't forget!!!



Interesting Vintage "Red Top" Stainless Rolex Submariner

Talk about a Rolex "Tool Watch."  This is a highly collectable and rare vintage Rolex Submariner.  It is unusual because of its "Red Top" Zero marker on the Black Bezel.

Great Rolex History Of Achievement Commercial...


This Rolex commercial is amazing!!!

Ever Notice? Starbucks Sub...

In Rolex nickname parlance we have the four Rolex Sodas: Pepsi, Coke and Rootbeer GMTs, as well as the 7up Sub.  

Actually a friend of mine named Dennis and I coined the term, 7up Submariner.  I guess you could also call it the Sprite Sub as well.

One day I was walking past Starbucks and I could not help notice my LV Submariner looked very similar to the Starbucks logo, so I call it the Starbucks Sub.  For some reason, the LV Rolex Submariner has this extra energy the black one does not and in has everything to do with the green.

It is like the Green 50th Anniversary Submariner is Caffeinated.  I just noticed that somebody else referred to their LV as "The Incredible Hulk."  Many people also refer to it as "The Kermit."
