Thanks.. This is definitely the place to learn and share especially if you are a lover of Rolex timepiece.. Just to check with bros here how do you adjust your date on your Rolex. Was told by one AD where I bought my wife's Rolex that you have to adjust to 6 o'clock position, then adjust the date to a day before the actual date (for example if today is 20, adjust to 19) then you adjust your time from 6 o'clock till you reach today's date and time. Another AD advise that rule of thumb is to turn the clock to avoid adjustment of date and time between 10pm till 4am. After which you can start to adjust both the time and date.. Getting a bit confused...

Hi to all,

With all the good advises, informations and lobangs shared by all fellow Rolex lovers, I finally got my Sub C last nite after months of waiting, dilemma and hesitation n choosing between Sub C and GMT II C. Finally made up my mind when I receive a call from Dickson that the watch is available yesterday and was offered a irresistible offer for the Sub C which made me make up my mind instantly..I will also like to share with all on the good and professional service of Alan from Dickson watch that really makes my day..

invisibleman i think you need to wind at least 40 rounds once you unscrew the crown and not shake.

Hi Damienloh,

Paiseh ... I'm a noob about Rollies ... meaning I've to unscrew the crown and wind 40 rounds and not shake em?
I've read something bout winding the crown somewhere. So meaning I've to click out twice (one to adjust the date, and two the hours) in order to wind it? Omg .. I feel so Noob !!! Hahaha

Hello,

Recently I've been facing some problem with my 16610. Don't know whether have anyone posted this before but this is the problem I've been facing this couple of days. I used "shake" softly to wind the watch but recently, I've to "shake" quite hard in order to wind them. Is it due to the weather or do I need servicing soon?
Please advise ..

Thanks!!

Hi,

Sorry for my noob question. I am looking for my 1st sub. Of coz, the older they are, the cheaper it is. Price of a sub seems to stablise very well after 10 years old.

My question is what concerns should I be worried about when buying a watch more than 10 years old. I have seen some subs 10 years old and they gorgeous. I am torn between a black sub (16610) and a half gold (16613).

[damienloh]

Do you guys send your rollie for water pressure test annually? Anyone knows does the machine today able to check water inside without opening the case? What are the signs water gets into your case to the movement?

Collectivity

correction, the 116610LN & 116610LV were introduced at Baselworld 2010...

the watches you mentioned are regular production models... so if you're expecting a multifold ROI in 10, 20 years time, look elsewhere... only buy it to enjoy it...

Hi,

I dont mean a multifold kind of ROI. I meant if you have a choice between 2010 production model and 2011 production model, which one at the end of 10 or 20 years time might be more sought after. Its like if some collector wants the 16610LV model, they may prefer the 2003 production model instead of the other regular years after 2003?

Just some thought and was thinking maybe we can have some views on that.

Thanks
