5811?

It’s just the box

It’s just the box

I never promised more.

 

[TheFoo]

I wonder if, since I already have the box for my pending 5811, they’ll just send me the actual watch in an envelope.

At least the box isn’t made in Thailand… right?

Only Patek uses PM hinges on the box.

It is, but they put a polished cap over the “made in Thailand” area of the box, so..

 

[chocomallo]

Nope.

Tank special?

Made in China, assembled in Thailand by Chinese expats that may or may not be registered with the Thai authorities, with at least some profit sharing with the local flavour of huayi with thai names. Italy is so 2000s.

Can we get one of the law talkers here to sue Rolex for lying about the size of the Daytona?

When a woman measures anything it is always going to be smaller than the size it is stated/claimed.

More interested in the ramen to be honest.

They keep running a pretty cool 60 second Rolex [Daytona] commercial. Have to admit, their involvement in motorsport makes me want to buy a Daytona.

Yes, sadly it's ADs that make me not want to buy one!

Well that commercial sure did the trick on me!! Mission accomplished Rolex!!

Funny, I was there on Saturday!

 

[Kappelan]

Now this is an insane watch.
