Rolex Blogger is a great believer in destiny and my 1st experience with the Rolex brand is surley down to pure chance…

I recently decided to upgrade my quartz Omega Seamaster Mid Size and purchase a larger chronometer. With my heart firmly set on a Rolex Sea-Dweller or Submariner I was somewhat disappointed to find that I would have to endure a waiting list. Well, not possessing the patience for the waiting list nor the desire to pay over the RRP I resigned myself to an Omega Seamaster GMT. Then while out of town, by pure chance I noticed a brand new Sea-Dweller in the window of a authorized dealer. I tried both the Seamaster GMT and the Sea-Dweller and 5 minutes later the shop assistant proceeded to complete the Rolex guarantee form.

A full review of the Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000 will follow shortly…

Not for the faint hearted…

The Cosmograph Daytona Leopard - surely crafted as showpieces to exhibit what can be done with a Cosmograph Daytona. With a 40mm diameter, 18ct yellow gold oyster case. The Bezel is set with no less than 36 baguette Cognac sapphires and the end pieces with 48 diamonds. The dial has a Leopard print and is garnished with 8 diamond hour markers and gold subdials.

Definately not your every day watch but if you do require that bit of fancy dress for those very, very special occasions then it’s a snip with a $41,000.00 starting bid at eBay…
