He's "cofounder/investor" in Mark Wahlberg's clothing brand... so, nope, nothing on his own yet

More like an eclipse (of your wrist). Do you have small wrists or is that watch that wide/long? Surprised Patek made watches that big back then.

Do I have small wrists? You tell me

This is a regular sized 5513

In Philadelphia it’s worth 50 bucks, so….

This is a Rochefoucauld, the thinnest water-resistant watch in the world. Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Switzerland, and water resistant to three atmospheres. This is the sports watch of the 1980s. Six thousand, nine hundred and fifty-five dollars retail! It tells time simultaneously in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome, and Gstaad!"

Despite surviving in their ownership since the 11th century (a full millenium, if you squint), the Rochefoucauld castle was recently put up for sale for a pittance. If that was your joke, good one, good one.

Charente : Ingrid de La Rochefoucauld dit pourquoi elle se résout à vendre le château de Verteuil

"Franchement, je n'ai pas le choix", a expliqué la propriétaire au "Figaro". La noble bâtisse, berceau millénaire d’une des plus influentes maisons de la noblesse française, est à vendre 2,8 millions d'euros.

One of the greatest movies ever. Still quote it to this day.

A cursory glance at these pages shows Rolex watches rather evenly represented in appearance with Cartier, Tudor, Panerai, IWC, Patek, AP and various independents.

But if you want more watch posts, post more watches! If you want less Rolex posts, post other watches. Be the change m’boy!

(Also, “Rolex’s”???)

I am guilty for the recent Rolex discussion as I asked about posters first Rolex and memories associated with it. It is definitely an emblematic watch brand as showed the number of answers (and many Rolex amateurs here didn’t even reply). BTW I was in the Saint Germain des Pres area yesterday, a new Rolex boutique is opening soon Rue de Sèvres, just by Berluti (where Arnys was before), Omega, Hermes, to name a few.

Sorry, a bit late. The below link will time travel you back in this thread, to some lengthy ruminations on this very subject:

Ode to 14060.

Looking over it, I find that here 8 years later my thoughts are pretty much the same

Great post. We’re´bout same vintage I think as I also had one of those Casios and later the first Swatch they made (not skeleton). You made an excellent choice with the 14060.

Not the joke

Too lazy to set the date, or time

I guess you were wearing it "Andy Warhol Style," as he was famous once saying, "I don't wear a Tank watch to tell time. In fact I never wind it. I wear a Tank because it's the watch wear."

J’adore.
