New A-11 Auto

Who buys a Rolex for accuracy ?
If you have an accurate Rolex then it’s a fake with a quartz movement.
They are simply things of beauty. And when i got mine in 1982, they did not require you to sell your kids organs to fund the purchase like they do if you were late to the party.

Enjoy that beauty! I see you've worn it well and good; as it was meant to be done.
I'm late to the game, and I'm kind of okay with it; better for my wallet's general health anyways.

that new a-11 looks like a super nice every day wearer. no doubt it keeps better time then my old breitling colt. water proof?

Looks pretty good.

There was a start up on Facebook reproducing the A-11. Not sure where they were pricing them? Reproduction packaging as well!

This is worth looking at. Thanks for the post!

Timeworn watches. Quite a bit of fanfare back in the spring on FB and a new website, and now silence. In two minds now whether to get one of these or keep waiting? Decisions, decisions...

That is a fact of life!

Sorry some can... see also the Astronauts

No I dont mind you asking at all. That said I'm afraid I just don't recall if it was taxed or not and I'm not in a position to check right now sorry.
As most things get stung I would imagine that did too.

Thanks for letting me know, yes I’m sure it would get hit with import duties.

I sent mine to Michael young in Hong Kong for a service and getting the stretch sorted in the bracelet,,I will never use an authorised dealer again .

Mike is a wizard when it comes to bracelet restoration and he has one nice collection of vintage Rolex’s !!

My issue with Rolex now is that I don't care to wear $10K worth of anything in public. Yours is worth plenty more than $10K!

As far as accuracy is concerned, it is accurate enough

For me the value is sentimental. It was my 18th birthday present from my parents in 1981 and cost them £350.
It was my everyday wearer wherever in the world i worked & i’ve only recently semi-retired it.
