Two Rolex things:

1) someone asked a lil while back how Rolex nicknames came about. Check the Rolex forums right now to see the epic battle to name Kermit 2.0. It is hilarious and I will be checking back in a few months to see what sticks

2) OG Kermit is a boss. I’m sure the new Kermit/Cermit/Hermit/Starbucks will become ubiquitous soon enough. But as a 116610LV (HULK) owner, I am very happy to be a hulk owner. The one part I don’t love is the bezel and that’s what they kept in the new guy.

Hot take: OG Kermit and New Kermit look a bit too much like Tudors. They should’ve kept the Hulk

Yeah, I’ve stopped wearing mine to work for that reason actually. People (ok, watch guys) keep asking “is that the Hulk? How much over retail did you have to pay” and I’m like yeah, no one liked these when they launched...

...that sunburst green is the magic!

My next Rolex venture will likely be a Polar Explorer and then a vintage sub (no date).

There’s nothing like waking up to a call on August 1 from my district coordinator telling me that they want to move me from my middle school resource room SpEd position (which I love) to K-5 Setting 3 SpEd position.

So, I’ll be spending my Monday applying for a new job in another district. How’s your Monday going so far? 😭😔

Microbrand guy here:
For the people who ask about when they can get a Zelos, they’re doing a launch of their popular Mako in Ti in a week or two. If you’re thinking of getting a micro as a beater or daily, this is a good starter into the micro world. 40mm case, very cool guilloche swirl pattern dial,11.5mm thick, Miyota hi beat movement, and the Ti is hardened to prevent scratches. Think I might score the green one (bad pic here but it looks cool with green / gold accents).

Question about white gold watches:
I've been fantasizing about the day I can afford a PP 6119G (which is still likely a few years away). Like with other jewelry, does the white eventually wear away to yellow? I assume it can be replated(or whatever the usual jewelry process is too get it back to white), but does that impact value at all if it's not "original"? I love the white/grey look of that watch, but curious about long term wear considerations

I really like this look and thinking about buying but talk me out of it. Feel like IWC has so many different watches, there’s a surplus in store, it’s bronze not gold, and may not hold its value like Rolexes do. What do you think? Is it worth it.
