andalus Posted June 15, 2011 Share #41 Â Posted June 15, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) who seeds a rolex? you will have to have it serviced every few years for hundreds of dollars, and it tells time no better than your cell phone. paying thousands for any kind of watch is a vain insanity.

Double Negative Posted June 15, 2011 Share #44 Â Posted June 15, 2011 IMO, a Rolex is nasty. Get yourself a Breitling. Or better yet, save a ton of cash with a Tissot and put the money towards a camera and/or lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
menos I M6 Posted June 15, 2011 Share #45  Posted June 15, 2011 Forget LEICA and buy the fuji X100. Its more fun u save money and buy the rolex  I thought, you'f advice a Casio G-Shock instead of the less functional mechanical watch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
menos I M6 Posted June 15, 2011 Share #46 Â Posted June 15, 2011 Buy an MP, a few more lenses, and a Panerai Radomir chrono. Â Some very sane advise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsrockit Posted June 15, 2011 Share #47 Â Posted June 15, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Get a casio digital, a canon rebel, and use the rest on a party with donkeys, blow, bubblegum, and hermaphrodites. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootinglulu Posted June 15, 2011 Share #48  Posted June 15, 2011 My advice: Leica M9 & Breitling Super Avenger, real craftmanship. Two matrialistic thing I can't live without. I have never met a leica man but was under the impression he would have wonderful taste!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenPatterson Posted June 15, 2011 Share #49 Â Posted June 15, 2011 Forget the Rolex, buy a Bell & Ross. It's much less expensive and you don't need glasses to tell what time it is. As for Leica bodies and lenses buy all you can and never look back... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ash Posted June 15, 2011 Share #50 Â Posted June 15, 2011 A "Rolex Deepsea" cost about 50EUR in Egypt. Buy the M9, make a trip to Egypt. Â Regards, Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted June 15, 2011 Share #51 Â Posted June 15, 2011 make a trip to Egypt. Â make a world trip, take your M8 and your M6 and take photo's! Maybe one other lens with it; why bother about bodies! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentarrow Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share #52  Posted June 15, 2011 Beautiful watch mate. I currently have Panerai for casual wear and dont really have a formal watch at the moment. I find Breitlings little big for formal wear, what are your experiences like?    My advice: Leica M9 & Breitling Super Avenger, real craftmanship. Two matrialistic thing I can't live without.

StephenPatterson Posted June 15, 2011 Share #53  Posted June 15, 2011 A "Rolex Deepsea" cost about 50EUR in Egypt. Buy the M9, make a trip to Egypt. Regards, Steve  Luohu market in Shenzhen? Canal Street in NYC? Lots of fake watches out there. I haven't seen too many fake M9s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markgay Posted June 15, 2011 Share #54 Â Posted June 15, 2011 Remove the wrist strap from the Rolex. Â Remove the lens from the M of your choice. Â Take a hammer. Â Take a drill. Â Drop dead pinhole camera that tells the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayewing Posted June 15, 2011 Share #55 Â Posted June 15, 2011 Difficult to advise as we know what camera you have already but we do not know what watch you are wearing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leica newbie Posted June 15, 2011 Share #56 Â Posted June 15, 2011 Don't forget if you do get the Submariner....... you won't be able to take any underwater pictures with the M9! Â Here's a thought maybe Leica could get Rolex to develop weatherproofing for the M9:o Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulholland27 Posted June 15, 2011 Share #58  Posted June 15, 2011 Go for the Sub, a 5513 or if you need the date function a 1680, the vintage Rolex world is incredibly addictive. As for the Leica world go for the M9, I've had mine for nearly 3 months after trading in my MP and am still adjusting but really loving the results. Please excuse my gratuitous Rolex "Bling" and "flashy" Leica shot. Enjoy in good health. Welcome, dear visitor!
