Kat - that is a gorgeous watch - I know you have said you are not sure what model it is but can you tell me if it is a Ladies or Mid Size (31mm) thanks. Its looks stunning on you - I LOOOOOOVE your ring too - what is it?

I'd love to see more of your Rolexes - I'm having a hard time deciding on which one to get later this year.

I loooooove photos!

Yeah its lovely to see them actually being worn as well isn't it - they do look different and nicer than just laying flat or on the net.

I want a midsize next!

I posted this on the other thread as well, but here you go again:

I have exactly the same dial on my medium size Datejust; I also have a yellow gold Lady Datejust with blue dial and Oyster bracelet, and an Explorer I.

Can you post some pictures?

I have a stainless and gold lady datejust with diamond bezel and diamond numerals. It is no longer made and has risen in value over the years. I recieved it for high school graduation. It's fabulous and I love it! I wear it every day, even to the gym. So timeless.

This is the one I've been looking at. Its been so nice to see it on somebody (I haven't actually tried it on yet as I'm not able to get one until the end of the year and I don't want to try any on as I'll only want it sooner and be upset!).

I'm glad you're considering it! I've worn it everyday since I got it, and I

it!

Also, because I have been very overweight I have worn mens watches (as an attempt to make my wrists look smaller?) so I'm not sure whether a Ladies size would be too small for me and maybe I should go for a Mid Size.

!

--Congratulations on the hard work losing weight!How much is 5 stone in pounds?

I am big boned, and I like the midsize better than the women's - and you can see how the bigger watches look so good on the tpf-ers.

I have had a lot of Rolexes over the years, but now I have scaled down to two: a midsize yellow gold President with white dial and diamond bezel, and a stainless steel Submariner. I wear my Sub a lot more often than the President.

I have a dream some day to have a gold Sub, can't decide if black or blue dial/bezel. Though it doesn't much matter yet as I have no possibility in the near future of getting one

Ali-bagpuss · Jun 18th, 2007, 07:04 AM

Thanks for the congratuations - there are 14 pounds in a stone so 5 stone would equal 70 pounds (that doesn't sound very much, I was expecting it to be higher than that - maybe it would sound better if I said I used to be 203 pounds and I'm now 133 pounds!)

I'd love to see photos of you wearing your watches so I can see the midsize - most of the photos on here are ladies size.

---wow, that is great!! I remember how difficult it was to lose 30 lbs. I still should lose another 20, but I am not willing to go to the next level of deprivation.

Here are a couplr pics (yes, those are my old lady hands, ugh!)

chessmont · Jun 18th, 2007, 10:04 AM

Hmmm, and that bruise on my arm is So attractive, LOL.

Ali-bagpuss · Jun 18th, 2007, 05:22 PM

Your Submariner is gorgeous - maybe I'll have to try one of those on too!

--yes I love the Sub! I worry about banging around my President - Though I bought it pre-owned, it was in great condition and now it has a few scratches on the crystal. But the Sub just goes anywhere, does anything and 'keeps on ticking' (oops, wrong brand, hehe!).
