I've never seen anybody try to resole Visvims.  Is that even possible?  Just curious.

the normal vibram soles are pretty straight forward to resole. not too sure about the TPU unit at the rear. as for the visvim specific vibram folk sole on some, i believe you have to go back to visvim for it.

^I was under the impression that Rolex Passion Report has a fairly good track record? Of course a rumor is a rumor only until it's confirmed; Given all of the evidence that Rolex hasn't jumped the gun yet, it's likely we'll have another year supply, or at least maybe they ceased production and are now selling all the remaining stock? Funny, it was the modern Rolex model that made me love Rolex. I should've convinced myself to buy it when I had the chance if for nothing else turning a profit these two years later, but I hate this idea of watches as "investments". Interesting how readily available all of the steel sports models were just last year around these parts though and how quickly that changed.

funny i was just thinking the other day..

i remember 5 years ago when i walked into a rolex dealer. back then, i was able to try on a half gold gmt, a sub date and no date and a deep sea before i made up my mind for a normal black steel gmt. right now, you'll be hard pressed to even find an explorer sitting on the display desk at all. Looking back, it was slight unlucky and wrong timing as the batman came out a few months later.. and i would've bet that those would've been sitting there waiting for me to get it too.. 

rolex vintage models is what got me into rolex. but as a first pair, i'd rather have the experience of brand new first before diving into the vintage world..

i'm not convinced that batman will be discontinued. i've been seeing people post new buys with batman. also, they've got it in the 18/19 price list and catalogue. so it'll be here for the next year at least..

trying so hard to get that new pepsi gmt. no luck so far... 

just an update on my trip from the last few days in london. 

did a bit more sightseeing up at blenheim in oxford and caught up in shoreditch with a couple of girls that i used to work with in back in perth.

yeah @volvo240thebest you defintiely should. the fabric is amazing. there's a somewhat vintage yet modern feel as the fabric evolves.

post wash. interesting fabric. under normal lights, they don't shine as much. but under sunlight or in the day, they're really vibrant..

Did you buy a one wash pair or a raw pair?

i'm pretty sure it was one wash (rinsed). i bought it in hokkaido a few years back. and in japan, their raw jeans are mostly sold one wash. i could be wrong but that's what i vaguely remember with what i bought..

chuck it in the machine and then hang dry outside, out of the sun..

a cross post. for resolute reference...

time for another wash update..

pre wash

just a small update. these are getting a wash before i fly out to the uk in a couple weeks!
