Green Rolex

As beautiful as it is overexposed. Years ago a dealer told me that in seven years of production he had received almost exclusively examples in the green dial configuration, and that says a lot. Just take a look at the well-known platform Chrono24: roughly

Hello dear Bill! I was lucky to get one of these watches…

… well before John Mayer video started the high popularity of this model and provoked a steep raise of its price. (As a matter of fact I bought mine at retail price!) Agree with your thoughts and that it is interesting to observe how a well known person p

I prefer to call it the green dial Daytona.

John Mayer has a history of being so thirsty to have a watch named after him all-a Paul Newman whose Daytonas are affectionately named after. That being said one cannot deny the John Mayer had a major influence on the second hand prices of the watch. All

I think there will be some improvement, but not much, since there’s people working there too and there will be alway be flippers and back door sales!

Same as in any other brand, cars, hand bags, cloths… I highly doubt John Mayer or Kevin O’Leary will be put on waiting list just to name a couple. I’ve been on the Journe, AP, Omega waitlists for over five years, so we have to be realistic… Personally, I’

Funny you say that my friend…

I was told that this is a 5513…the pointed crown guards (I have learned they are actually “eagle beak” crown guards) have been bugging the heck out of me…the pointed crown guards on a 5513 were only made for a short amount of time…and it only had a gilt d

The Tony Stark

Just as it has become common practice to name the green Daytona and AP perpetual after John Mayer, I’m naming this Urwerk as the Tony Stark. For those not aware of the Avengers movie, the character Tony Stark is Iron Man.
