Adding another long awaited watch to my collection this past week.... the #116610LV , commonly known as the green Submariner with the superhero nickname #Hulk . Given all the rumours about the possibility of the LV getting retired/discontinued this year, now in its 10th year of production, I was over the moon to finally get the call from my AD and have the opportunity to add this unicorn to my collection.
The LV is pictured here beside another one of my favourite #Rolex watches, the retired #BLNR , commonly referred to as the #Batman with its oyster bracelet with polished centre links. I managed to get that in 2019, the year it was formally retired before the #Batgirl jubilee bracelet version was released. If I had to chose a favourite, well that’s tough as each of these watches are different and special, but I find the BLNR Oyster to be such a versatile and handsome timepiece for any occasion.
You’ll see a #Nodate and #Panerai#pam01312 in the pictures too and they each are watched I’m in love with too. Again, they all have a different look, vibe, and place where they shine best.
What’s your favourite watch? Are you a fan of Rolex? What about @panerai ? If you had to choose one watch for the rest of your life, which would it be?

The two time zones are displayed simultaneously. Local time is indicated by the conventional centre hour, minute and seconds hands. Month by the outer squares, look for the red one.
German cigar merchant Christopher Wolters resurrected this classy, highly artisanal shape from the Partagas factory in 1996, when he asked for 100 special humidors of 50 cigars, which turned out to be some of the most sought-after collectible humidors ever made. Twelve years later the large figurado became commercially produced as an exclusive for La Casa del Habano, they continue to be sold there, and coveted to this day.
The smoke delivers rich and spicy aromas and flavors, and is ultra-cool and refreshing with its large girth and substantial length. This is a cigar to take your time with, preferably in a Havana bar with a glass of rum and the right company.
A bit of info about the Salomones . This size recreates the style of cigars that existed in the 19th century, when Habanos tapered at both ends became fashionable.
Because of their complex manufacture, the double figurados are at the peak of the roller’s cigar-making art. If only for that reason, they deserve to be a part of the selection of every aficionado who prides himself of it.
Manufactured with the best leaves from the region of Vuelta Abajo in Cuba and submitted to a rigorous selection, the Partagas Salomones stand out for their excellent taste and full flavour, with an evolution and complexity in their smoking that will be enjoyed by Habanos lovers.
Presented in boxes of 10 units each and with the traditional full flavour of Partagás, they are a very valuable option for the true Habano enthusiasts, who will find an attractive format in its 184 mm in the length and 57 ring gauge that will please the most demanding smokers.

Absolutely love this #Rolex#gmtmaster2#Pepsi - which is another iconic timepiece in the @Rolex portfolio! Have you tried it on? Would you buy it?
Details below:
In addition to conventional hour, minute and seconds hands, the GMT-Master II features an arrow-tipped hand, which circles the dial once every 24 hours, as well as a bidirectional rotatable 24-hour graduated bezel. The distinctively coloured 24-hour hand displays the “home” reference time in a first time zone which can be read on the graduations on the bezel. The traveller’s local time is easily set by “jumping” from hour to hour, thanks to an ingenious mechanism operated via the winding crown: the hour hand can be adjusted forwards or backwards independently of the minute and seconds hands. This allows travellers to adapt to their new time zone without affecting the precision of their timekeeping.
The new calibre 3285, a new-generation movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. With 10 patent applications filed over the course of its development, this movement features a Chronergy escapement and a guaranteed power reserve of approximately 70 hours. Like all Rolex Perpetual movements, the 3285 is a certified Swiss chronometer, a designation reserved for high-precision watches that have successfully passed the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) tests. The 3285 is equipped with a Parachrom hairspring, offering greater resistance to shocks and to temperature variations.
The design, development and production of Rolex bracelets and clasps, as well as the stringent tests they face, involve advanced high technology. And, as with all the components of the watch, aesthetic controls by the human eye guarantee impeccable beauty. The Jubilee, a supple and comfortable five-piece link metal bracelet, was designed and made especially for the launch of the Oyster Perpetual Datejust in 1945.
The dial is the distinctive face of a Rolex watch, the feature most responsible for its identity and readability. Characterised by hour markers fashioned from 18 ct gold to prevent tarnishing, every Rolex dial is designed and manufactured in-house, largely by hand to ensure perfection.
