Rolex

Yes, there’s a display back now. Some say: unnecessary for a Rolex. And they may be right — the movement is excellent, like all Rolex calibres, but not exactly a showcase. But let’s be fair: The plates are beautifully finished, the rotor runs as smooth as...  

I like how you describe it, I would call it even “honest”. It just does what it says. So for this kind of watch the finishing ist just spot on in my opinion. And keep enjoying your time on the water, you never can spend enough time on the water! Cheers, D... 

There’s also an upside to it: you get a little glimpse behind the scenes at Rolex. And the watch is probably a touch lighter than the previous model. I find it extremely comfortable to wear. ...

The only Daytona that floats my boat. Enjoy it my friend!

Without offending anyone (it's always a matter of personal taste, and there's no right or wrong): as a general "non-Daytona fan," this is the only version that truly blew me away and, after three weeks of almost continuous wear, turned me into a Daytona f... 

the new 126506 feels a bit lighter than the „old“ version 116506 due to its sapphire glass on the case back. Have a great Sunday, mon ami!

...  

I cannot describe it well enough...it's special. Congrats again and glad to see you're enjoying it, Thomas.

An exzellent description of this watch. It has a certain presence on your wrist, but IMHO it’s not shouting. And I like the weight. Since it’s not my first platinum watch, it’s no surprise for me. It would be interesting to compare this new reference with... 

As you stated in another thread: „This hobby/passion haunts us.“ Will there ever be peace???!?! P.S.: Because you wrote that this watch was made for me – I have to say, I was never a big Daytona fan, and for some reason, this Rolex line always left me rat... 

HAGWE! ...  

and this time I've deliberately only brought two watches with me: the PAM 721 and this particular gem. And it's true, you can enjoy a watch much more and keep discovering new details if you don't change it manically, daily, or even less frequently. I'll t... 

Enjoy the remainder of your vacation, my dear friend, all the best, Tony

...  

thank you. And that watch… is something else! In a league of its own, really. Cheers Marc

Cheers Thomas ...  

Chocolate and ice blue complement each other very well in the sunlight. Looking forward to your future posts. Regards Kurt.

Enjoy the watch Thomas! JT

Best wishes for your summer from a cousin 🥂 ...  

I have always been a great admirer of the DD in Platinum, especially in your version with the non-fluted bezel.

I share your philosophy and all dough not (yet) a PT Daytona owner, I can assure you that I would do the same! Great photos of a great watch.

„Not (yet)“ sounds … promising. ☺️ ...  

Clearly works for you as intended 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Kind regards from Croatia! ...  

And many congrats for your very special Daytona! ...  

I have yet to find the perfect Daytona version for me, but I think that this one could do it quite nicely 😅

You should definitely try this model out. For most people here, every new watch purchase isn't probably their first 😎. Therefore, the waiting times are (more) bearable. They might even get better, since the market isn't booming … exorbitantly at the momen...  

I did try it on some time ago, and I loved it, but it didn't really sing to me in the wrist as loud.

A while ago I reached a point where I became very radical. I'm lucky enough to own a few beautiful watches that I'm very happy with. One of my rules up until now was: one in - one out. But that doesn't work anymore because I've already sold everything I d... 

I consider that the size of my collection is already big enough, not only in number of watches but also in financial terms. Therefore, if I want to get something in, something equivalent has to go out. And this is getting tougher and tougher, as my collec... 

to consider in advance how often and for what purposes you'll wear a watch. As for selling at a massive loss, I know that hurts. I console myself with, for example: I at least wore the watch for a while. I can use the money to finance another watch. And l... 

Financial value vs enjoyment ratio 😅

Glad the watch survived a water test. Very heavy on the wrist hahaaha

But beware: the watch has so far passed a test ON the water, not IN the water. Because the case back is made of sapphire glass, the watch is not that heavy to wear. At least compared to the previous model. ...  

Enjoy it often in good health! Cheers, Henry

But I think you ARE lucky. Because you really do have some heavy hitters in your collection.
