Very nice work! I'd say they qualify a bit more than "quick and dirty"...

Those are some decent shots there doc! :thumbsup:

Just a word of advice though - putting your Rolex next to your SA will give it a serious inferiority complex! You'll be nursing the poor thing back to health for weeks after that shock! :wink:

True that! I love how putting a LING on either side of a rolex really brings out their true size!

Those are great shots, of some really nice watches!

Excellent photos! I am not so much a fan of Rolex, but I really do like yours. The thing I notice right off, is that there is not that magnifier on the lens above the date aperture. Is that normal for that model? Seems that all the Rolex watches I have seen have the magnified date. I actually think the watch looks a lot better without it.
Cheers,
Carl

Submariner has the date magnifier but the sea-dweller does not....something about it weakening the crystal as the sea-dweller is rated to 4000ft....personally I think it looks MUCH better without the bubble.

Also , the sea-dweller is the only rolex with writing on the caseback...I'll try and snap a photo of it for you....I've had it 5 years and it was my daily wearer til I discovered lings!....so it does show the scars of daily life...(I don't baby my watches!)
