I think I may become a member very soon. My AD has one, my wife wants to get me "something" for our 25th wedding Ann on monday. So.....

My plan was to trade my PAM212 for one of these.

DOH! I wouldn't do that! Just my 2 cents.

A poll posted by another forum menber.
The question is, WHICH ROLEX COULD BECOME A COLLECTOR ITEM

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=139947

We'll see in a couple of years :-)

But today it seems like the majority has a good feeling for the ORIGINAL GREEN SUBMARINER

Like the pic!
I wear my LV every day...I dont match clothes to my LV.
However I obviously match my shirt and tie combos, and the LV just gets worn with it.

I think its such a small amount of green that it's not really going to clash.
If i had to wear something green everyday to match my LV I would go insane!

Looks great anyway :)

Great thread and very nice pictures!
This is just what I wanted to look through, as I'm picking up mine from an AD in London when I go there on the 8th of October. Already paid it, and it's safely resting in the store safe.
I know already it will definitely be a keeper!
Have a great weekend!

Now that Rolex has stopped producing the LV, what do you guys think will happen with the price? :o)

Recommend if anyone is interested in one they pull the trigger ASAP...just my opinion!

The way things are going, yes unfortunately the aluminium bezel insert's days are numbered.

The LV is a thing of beauty. My problem is that I'm one month into four, waiting for the thing to return from 1st service! God I miss that watch, nothing else compares!

I'll be floating down the San Juan River fly fishing Tuesday and Thursday. My LV will be on my wrist. It's my casual watch and I'll be wearing it a lot more since I retire September 30.
