Thank you very much. ☺️🙏

Regarding the Daytona, I have to say that platinum is of course heavy. But after about half an hour on the wrist you simply forget about it. Over the decades the case has evolved into something that really hugs the wrist very naturally. One watch I never

The original Deepsea

The Deepsea 116660 Black Dial was introduced in 2008, and the original reference had as its main strength the perfect proportions between the case and the bracelet, making it a unique and unrepeatable design. The subsequent models, in my opinion, are noth

It’s a sport watch.

I respectfully believe that all sports Rolex models are designed for most casual sports. I’ve worn my Deepsea, GMT2, and even my AP ROO for weightlifting. Ironically, I don’t wear them for golf or squash (although I’m right-handed) because of the jarring

Bracelet stretch with heavy lifting.

I do a lot of heavy lifting, and I’ve recently started to notice what seems like gradual bracelet stretch—likely from wrist flexing and strong gripping over time. I never saw this with my Deepsea, but I’m beginning to notice it on my 2022 Daytona. Has any
