Maurice Lacroix Les Classiques Date Ladies

1000th Post Milestone
Hooray! I reached 1,000 posts! I'll keep this Rolex related! I'll briefly tell my story of becoming a collector of the brand. But, my first Swiss Chronometer wasn't a Rolex: It all started in 1997. We had some family visiting from India for my sister's wedding. One guest wanted to buy a Rolex for her husband, so my Dad took her to one of our two local AD's (this has become my preferred AD of today). That fell through (she didn't buy) but since that time, I became interested by Rolex. 1 year later, I made my Dad buy his first: 15210 SS Oyster Perpetual Date. He was mad at me for making him spend $2,560 on a watch, but that passed. ;) Now, I have one that matches and was my first Rolex, given to me by my wife on our wedding day (his has a silver dial, mine has a black dial).My 15210:Growing up, I would keep a pocket Rolex catalog in my desk at home to remind me of why I was studying hard (a Rolex could be my reward). On the cover was a YG DD Presidential. Sort of ironic that I

My DSSD
Just got my Deepsea Sea Dweller over the weekend and I have to say I am enjoying the watch very much. Over the last 3 days, I've worn it through one round of golf and to work everyday and it's gained an average of 2 seconds per day, well within COSC standards and perfect for what I wanted.I'll start off by saying that this is a big hunk of metal. I've been wearing a Rolex Date every day over the last 15 years and I wasn't sure I could pull off wearing a DSSD as my daily wearer. This was a big change for me going from a 34mm relatively flat watch to a 43mm tower.I've tried it on at the AD, but it always seemed too large for my wrists but I kept going back to it because it was very appealing to my eyes. After I bought the watch and got it sized, I find it's the perfect size for me. When trying it on at the AD, I never sized the bracelet so it always seemed to large. Lesson learnedyou never really know how a watch will look until it's been sized for you.Anyways, I was taking some pictures
