Chronometer (aka yacomino)

Well I must say that while I do love a watch with some good weight I was surprised how heavy it is. On one hand its cool because its a nice feeling, but I wonder how I would feel about it after a day on the wrist
Tried this beauty today…
I like it because it’s different from the steel model now I just need to decide if I like the submariner enough to buy the full gold version. Any thoughts on that reference? ...
Gorgeous
Especially paired well with jacket and shirt! For me, the Sub has to be steel. BUT if you are looking for a sporty WG watch , look no further !
Anytime my friend !
What were your initial impressions? Have you owned a Sub date / no date before?
One of my favorite watches. I wear it often..
As its stealthy when I want it to be but have the presence and weight of gold that lets me know it’s special. ...
Owned its predecessor the smurf for years and loved it
A 1x/ weekly or 1-2x/month wear for me. Agree with the comment here that the best aspects are the stealth + weight together. And of course the build quality is really impressive every time you put it on.
Very cool watch!
Love this one a lot...love the blue and love the 'under the radar' aspect of this Sub. As you mention, lots of options for this price range...are you looking purchase new from an AD? I think they are under retail on secondary market. But in the end, buy w...
Options are good
Yes, I did some research too and for sure an under retail watch on the secondary market....and available...always good to have options!
I absolutely love it.
I had the Smurf with “had” being the defining word 😁. I personally prefer this one. It flies under the radar as well. ...
I wear it quite often and I love it.
Doesn’t look like much(arguably), but always feel its presence on your wrist. The “yeah… I got this” watch ...
I too love the look and feel of this one. It's truly superb IMO
And having a heavy watch on the wrist is satisfying to the wearer IMO. People who aren't in "the know" think it's just a steel watch. AFAIK, the no-date subs are only in SS, I believe. In the real world, it seems that these WG models are priced best on th...
For me personally…
The weight would be an immediate killer criterium. But of that doesn’t bother you, go for it! Might be a bit of a conceptual challenge - being a good tool watch - but then again let’s not pretend that most are still used as tool watches, so al...
I personally find that watches above a certain weight hardly get any wrist time whatsoever 🤷🏻♂️
But that’s a very personal topic - some other members absolutely love the heft
For me the best Submariner.
The one Sub that "separates the men from the boys" ))) . I definitely like mine, Best, Gerard ...
This is one of the best Rolex any my favorite to own. Brilliantly comfortable weight, much prefer to the steel options.
You mention your concern about end of day comfort. For myself (and unlike other precious metal or even some steel watches), I am perfectly at ease wearing this all day. Not sure you can be sure unless you buy it unfortunately!
As many people from my country of origin used to do in the eighties and nineties,
Both the problem about the weight and the price could be easily circumvented keeping most of the watch appearence. A word to the wise! Beautiful watch, by the way!
It looks really good on you.
Do you want this one specifically? If so and if it makes sense financially, go for it. I see what you mean with your scarcity commentary, I’m no Rolex expert but a gold watch probably is scarcer then it’s steel counterparts, makes sense.
It looks great on you, my friend!
But that MSRP is a tough pill to swallow! Personally, I prefer steel. In fact, I’m still waiting for a FF in steel! Good luck with your decision! Keep us posted!��
Stunning watch dear Yacomino..
Like the majority of watches here it is beyond my reach but I can dream.. and I do often lol, or is that very often 😜!! Anyway, If I could, I WOULD, in a heartbeat 💓 and I’d wear it like there was no tomorrow and this community would have to put up with m...
