we fellows with puny wrist have our headaches when it comes to choosing watches

for me... i feel uncomfortable wearing Submariner due to the bubble back casing. Whenever I try watches, I will bring my wife along

My sub date feels fine on my wrist even though I got a small bone protruding. Guess a vintage gmt shape is still the best, abit smaller..tried finding very hard, but couldn't find the right one also.

is this limited edition rolex?

i think so, rolex quartz is rare so i supposed its Limited edition?

Oysterquartz. hmm full gold... it ticks all the right boxes

oh, thats your definition of LE.
haha is issuing to military limited edition as well?
say 5517?

I definitely define luxury watches which were privately issued to certain military divisions as LE, such as:
- Milsub Ref. 5517
- Milsub Ref. 5513
- Milsub COMEX 5514

furthermore these watches were never available for public sale. They were created, manufactured and distributed solely for military use.

Other military watches includes:
- Tudor Oyster-Prince Sub ref. 7928 for US Navy (U.S.N., ST-2/015, OCT.68.)
- Tudor Oyster-Prince Sub ref. 9401 for French Navy
- Tudor Oyster-Prince LHD sub ref. 94010 for French Navy
- ADANAC NAVIGATOR in 1988 issued to US Air Force
- SEIKO 7A28 RAF GEN 1 CHRONOGRAPH (stamped a “circle P” on the dial, indicating that Promethium – a mildly radioactive man-made element – was used to illuminate portions of the dial and hands) issued to the British Air Force.

i only know of this Rolex which i think is considered LE?

Full yellow gold quartz but according to the post above, this one also limited edition liao? Hahahaha, dunno how true.

rolex Oyster Quartz was mass produced during the Quartz crisis in the 1970s.
about 25,000 quartz rolex watches were produced over a 25 year period.

not rare LE but a rare vintage.

i only know of this Rolex which i think is considered LE?

yes. because Rolex Domino watches were given to selected Domino employees as a form of reward through a program called the "Rolex Challenge." If a franchise nails a certain sales quota for a four week period, they get a Rolex Air-King as a ticking trophy.

Adding on... still it depends on how individual define everything. to some watch lovers, they will just simply group all old watches, whether LE or not, as Vintage watches...

so to say, if its not available for public sale, it's considered limited edition? not special edition? or customs?

 

[iV3RsOn]

Heng today my big boss not around also... Yatto I Wan drink Japanese whiskey with u and hold sausage also. Can?

 

[gaoxing84]

i only know of this Rolex which i think is considered LE?

so issued to employees is considered limited edition? not custom-made or special edition or private edition?

are these numbered? they're not sold to general public.

i would call this commissioned pieces.

to me LE is numbered and is available to general public.
