I always assumed this was the case - but this morning I took delivery of my first rolex, an 16610 sub (thanks @watchlovr) and an hour later in my very first meeting the first words out of the other guys mouth was 'Hey, you have a new watch! You bastard, that' s the one I've wanted for years'. Genuinely, this has never happened to me before. Apologies for the shoddy photo - it was a rush...

That's too funny. Congrats on the new sub, looks great.

I would have one less if you were willing to compromise your anonymity and bought this all original transitional 16800 Matte Dial Sub from 1983?

This thread is really interesting, that Rolexes highlighted here are mostly older, prior generation watches. I'm the same way, that much more partial to 5 digits over 6. a commonality among Omega fanbase?

Currently two Rolexes and one Tudor. Alas theyre all modern (but you'll see what I've done to the Exp1). Have my eyes out for ideally a 1680 red but at today's prices may have to go white or 16800.

While not initially a Rolex fan, I fell for Tudors first, but have grown to like the look of big brother.
Only 3, all with military provenance.
