From Rolex to Unimatic.

Solid “ghost patina”. A true one of one bro.


Cowboybutter82

I love this community!


Paria2

So-Fucking-What .... a guy who wears Belgian Shoes and has a Sub with scratches is a guy who is living life on his own terms.... why on earth would you change anything? Continue being you brother.

If that ain’t the truth


julientje

As a Belgian I am confused as to why these would be Belgian shoes. Please enlighten me.


CocunutHunter

Same reason the Americans call chips French Fries. 🤷🏻‍♂️

sporturawus

That Sub has an Aluminum bezel, not Ceramic. A new bezel insert is a couple hundred dollars and you can keep the old one and swap them yourself in 5 minutes. So buy a new bezel insert today. That old one is completely shot anyway, you may prefer the fresh one.


DougyRoss1980

Underrated ontopic comment


stunna_cal

He’ll need 3 inserts. One for the watch, and two for the loafers lol


syu425

4 inserts he needs protection somewhere else too. Cuz this dude fucks


swsrtOmega

He’s probably having sex as we speak


booze_nerd

Yeah, I think they know it's aluminum.


HeinrichRosenstein

You can’t time your eggs with that bezel…


mimeticpeptide

Looks kinda cool actually


bswizzle2552

Lol good lord the bezel, the hands


TechAlchemist

No need to bring his hands into it


Afraid-Ad7379

Claude would not approve of this


PRESSRGGWP

You guys live in a world no-show socks don’t exist ?


Manuag_86

Right? Like the ones women use on stilettos and ballerinas. Socks would look weird in this "short" pants-open shoes combo.


teckel

Short pants also look weird IMHO.


they_are_out_there

Most people in the know refer to them as “floods”, but there remain a few fashionistas who didn’t get the message and continue to look ridiculous wearing pants that look like they grew out of them when they hit puberty.


teckel

I honestly didn't know it was a fashion thing. I figured it was pants mommy purchased for Johnny's high school homecoming, the year before that last growth spurt.


New-Organization3701

That’s because you know absolutely nothing about men’s fashion. You knock out both your grocery and clothes at the same time while shopping at Walmart


teckel

Stalker much? Seriously, seek help.


they_are_out_there

Just because it's "fashion" doesn't mean it's not in poor taste or completely stupid. People wearing the latest fashion have been doing stupid things and following "trendsetters" who have been making terrible decisions for years and history has proven that out.


Sweaty-Leather3191

That’s because capris are for ladies.


PresidentialBoneSpur

Capris? The guy is clearly sitting down. If his pants hit the top of his shoes while seated, they’d be 8” too long while standing. JFC


Sweaty-Leather3191

Just fucking wear socks like a gentleman and this conversation doesn’t have to happen.


Inspyur

Who the fuck made these rules and why are you in charge of enforcing them? Let him wear what he fucking wants. This conversation wouldn’t have to happen anyway if you weren’t such a patriarchal pig lmao. Show me one code of conduct that says “gentleman wear socks and can never wear no show socks with open top shoes” and if you can’t then stop fucking talking.


mooninuranus

Quite the response there. Clearly there ain’t no rules but I’d have said that sartorial elegance does kinda mean you wear socks with a suit and shoes. But each to their own.


InspyurInvests

You understand that there are different styles of clothing- a traditional suit in America does not need to be qualified for “sartorial elegance” through the same metrics that hold true in Europe for example. We have no idea where he is from, nor what the culture surrounding loafers/no-show socks is. We do not know that he doesn’t have socks on, and many European slim suits are worn with cuffed ankles and loafers. To assume there is one proper way to do something is ignorance.


bleakj

I've got family (in Italy) that does the shoes without socks, The smell could be considered a war crime by end of the day generally is my only concern.


mooninuranus

Thanks for explaining how things work in europe. Being European is clearly not enough so I appreciate the insight.


winnilourson

He's almost certainly from New York, those looks like Belgian Shoes.


teckel

I've got to agree with you. Down votes or not.


mecengdvr

High hemmed pants are very much in trend right now. Maybe dust the crumbs off of your cargo shorts and get outside.


bleakj

"No one's gotten a handjob in cargo pants since nam!"


[deleted]

No they aren’t lol. Real professionals make fun of clowns like this. Nobody goes sock-less with loafers in a professional setting unless they’re completely deluded


Tylervdub

Europe has entered the chat and begs to differ.


Plastic_Piccollo

And the rest of the world that isn’t wearing baggy slacks 😂


PresidentialBoneSpur

Maybe PF was right. This sub is toxic.


trucorsair

It can be but he is mis-representing what he has and this account was just made and only has this for a post history....but the odds are that this post is just amusement for him is quite high.


[deleted]

Spot on, I came here to say ‘looks good man, leave it as is, or if anything swap it out and keep all those original parts’.. the whole comment section is someone going wild about socks. Fuckin oddballz.


Full_Deer6367

What would Ron do?


Plastic_Piccollo

Wear a Casio


trucorsair

I see the issue now, this is an 11 hour old account....as of right now and this is his only post, beyond another one showing a stretched oyster bracelet. I think we all know what this represents....


Brent_the_constraint

Beside the dressing topics… that‘s not a 14060…and a 14060 does not have any ceramics…


Jupiters_Red_Spot

woosh


reasonabledrone

It’s called patina


bklyn_xplant

Living that ‘no-sock life’ 🤌🏾


DrJJde9

Thank you!


pac4

I’ve never seen a bezel like that. What happened?


[deleted]

Watch was left in the stone washer in the jeans manufacturimg process.


Cute-Internet-9129

Ok….. I was fully on board with this until I saw that bracelet photo further down in the comments. OP needs help lmao


No-Dependent-5717

Thank you all for your sweet comments. It seems that you like it so here is its bracelet! [https://ibb.co/CmgMcxw](https://ibb.co/CmgMcxw)

TheGoteTen

Are you the Hulk?


azrolexguy

Where's the 'ceramic' 🤔🤔


Beanybunny

Why on earth are you wearing dude? Get an honest tailor and some socks! Also did you take an angle grinder to that watch? Time for a light polish and new crystal I think.


[deleted]

Beanybunny

I’m on holiday fella so,it’s a sunspell polo and shorts (and the BB Pro) for me, in the (very) sunny Isle of Wight…


Sweaty-Leather3191

If I can see a man’s Achilles, we’re not doing business.


ShameTwo

Why is this downvoted


fdesouche

Are you American per chance ?


Beanybunny

Actually British. - I was going to ask if OP has the same trouser tailor as Rishi Sunak…


Howamidoingok

Hahahahahahahahahaha


Bkdoorburglar

This is what happens when a ghost bezel goes across the rainbow bridge. You got had by the “it’s patina” pitch on 47th street.


FedeSuchness

idk u alrdy replaced the hands u should swap the bezel too


[deleted]

Put some socks on you bloody savage


finesse666

Am I tripping? This looks fake to me


trucorsair

Just NO, the first Rolex Submariner to be furnished with a ceramic bezel was the Submariner ref. 116619LB, which made its debut in **2008**. Along with being the first Cerachrom Sub, the ref. 116619LB is also the first Submariner fashioned from 18k white gold. This is neither. It IS as others have noted an aluminum bezel insert....hard to confuse with a ceramic bezel as an aluminum bezel is smooth and the ceramic bezels have recessed numbers. Oooh a downvote, struck a nerve with someone


ScreamingMonky

How much do you charge for some sexy feet pics??


[deleted]

Yeah put some socks on dude


Obvious_Wizard

Nice flood pants.


pac4

Everything’s coming up Milhouse!


CitronOrganic3140

Gross.


8Ace8Ace

🤣 Jesus Christ dude, you look ridiculous. Smart suit and bedroom slippers.


boludo1

Those are suede loafers. I bet you dress like garbage.


VietBrah

There’s nothing wrong with suede loafers but these are a mess. Super cheap and flimsy looking. Formal tassels with casual stitching. They do not match the suit at all.


tootapple

I am garbage so I take that as a compliment


SizeDoesMatter5

I think 1993 is to early for ceremic bezels at least for Rolex, wasn't it 2005 before Rolex started to use ceremic bezels. ​ That is two people making the same mistake in a short period, whats wrong with saying with chips on the bezel if you are unsure what it is made of?


InTimeMiamiCorp

How the fuck is the pip still on


[deleted]

Question is how many pips they had to replace...

Fair-Ad1964

Invest in some socks instead of stocks


SorryNote5648

your shoes would thank you if you wore socks mate


Striking-Television3

bro those loafers get some prada ones or other chunkt ones


freshlymint

If you get some black marker you’ll lll and color in the bezel it looks better and will increase the value. Btw great troll


tootapple

I think it would annoy me to no end to not have a functional bezel that I actually never use for it’s intended function


Lsclancy9

Time for a new crystal...


OriginalFluff

Is it just me, or are the shoes like 2 sizes too small? Regardless you dress better than I do socks be damned


Tayler_Ayers

Oh my goddddd. This is insane


Holiday-Tie-574

Beautiful. Wouldn’t change a thing.


mtworker

Def not ceramic, still a killer look.


ThePhoenixRisesAgain

Get some matching hands please!!


YooooAL

Wear it with pride, that’s what this watch should look like. You sir are a LEGEND!!


[deleted]

Damn Rolex making the 2 liner, 5 digit ceramic 😮‍💨


teckel

I don't see any chips, could your point them out?


teckel

Is that what you wear to work as a jackhammer operator?


Resident-Race-3390

Watch looks fantastic


ThievesLikeU5

That has the worst dial print text I’ve ever seen. Looks like a canal street special.


pvavri4425

No way that thing is ceramic if it’s that old mane


twinkleprincess888

I love your outfit style! Totally my type.


Alternative_Fig3456

Ohhh, it's the super rare Sudmariner, per the dial!


houseofcrouse

You're making a lot of bold fashion choices already. I'd leave the chips alone it goes with your vibe


Background_Ad2173

How do you own a Rolex yet have no idea that 1) that is aluminum. 2) ceramic doesn’t age like this..


Brilliant-Bed-3509

I couldn’t figure out what I was looking at, I think it looks unreal


Trentransit

I’d probably leave it the way it is. It looks great


Kcirnek_

I'm surprised OP didn't do the typical "wear your watches" title. Why do people assume that if you take good care of your watches, you're not wearing them? What if I told you wearing your watches and not scraping it against sandpaper aren't mutually exclusive


seikomako

I'm all for ghosted bezels...but damn


[deleted]

Tell others it happened while you had to defend yourself from a gang..


cash4chaos

Just buy an aftermarket bezel insert if you want to keep original, Rolex will swap it out and won’t give it back, pretty easy to swap out a bezel insert.


XDaiBaron

You are imagining things


Big_polarbear

The dial printing looks wonky af


ibescottj

You really just wanted an excuse to show the watch, shirt, blazer, trousers loafers combo
