If youâre still on the fence about running the Richmond Marathon on November 15th (or the McDonaldâs Half Marathon or NTELOS 8k for that matter), sign up today if you want to avoid paying higher entry fees, as all rates go up on October 1st!ew for 2008: The SunTrust Richmond Marathon will feature the debut of the new ChronoTrack âDâ Race Timing Tag, a light-weight disposable timing device that will replace the old ChampionChip I blogged about earlier this year.
History of the Rolex Day Date President. The Rolex Day-Date Released in 1956 and lasting just over a year, the Rolex 6511 model, first known as the Rolex Day Date, had a day window showing at twelve oâclock as well as the date shown at three oâclock.
Iâll start with the Rolex Day-Date. This is Rolexâs flagship model, âThe new measure of accomplishmentâ as they put it or âIâve finally arrivedâ as Frugal Dad put it. Itâs true that most people wonât notice your watch (as one of Frugal Dadâs readerâs points out) but when you can afford a Day-Date A.K.A. donât make tons of money as a watchmaker. You can read all about it in my post about on Watchmaking Injustice. I probably could afford a Rolex but with a young family I have (what are in my opinion) more important places to put my money at the moment. Thatâs why I frequent some financial blogs like Frugal Dad.
