More attic finds. 1989 apparently.

Rolex make 2000 watches a day.

/csb

Buddy has that Daytona with a white face.

Nuting on the OG Panda of course.

Quite like the Railroad too:

steel Professional pieces

What does this mean? A Datejust? Or all Oyster cases?

IME the sub is the one you seem to remember on peoples wrist because they're all the same* whereas there are so many variations of the oyster range that make them different - dial colour, bezels, numerals etc.

For me pics of the Daytona leaves me cold whereas in the flesh it looks decent. That said it maybe my subconscious being impressed. I remember meeting an ex-pat from Dubai who looked like he'd been rolled through GQ's insta feed and it he pulled it off nicely with a grey suit.

But then I quite like my chronos either descrete of sporty:

*yeah I guess there's date/no-date.

That is rather lovely.

^that Zenith is some sort of Hodinkee mashup innit?

Lovely. What’s the movement in that Breitling?

And dial colours and material variations

Can’t stop coming back to this little beauty

Ah, have no idea what the RRP is. Well, if you can find one that’s not over RRP (sounds unlikely) I’ll gladly bring it back.

Thanks! I'll take a look.

I'm visiting Miami, New York and Dubai over the next few weeks....happy to fix you up if I can. I'm sure to be doing a bit of watch browsing so I'll keep my eyes open.

Never seen a sub on a wrist irl that wasn't black dial and stainless.

No idea. Pure aesthetics.

I just googled for older Breitlings. Tag chronos from that era have that same sporty vibe.

I see a fair few Rolesor and hulks. And the occasional white gold although obviously pretty unusual.

Sadly when I was working most people I came into contact had old two-tone Rolexi and Breitlings. That said I knew someone with a massive gold yacht master ii... that was a strong look!

EDIT: although now I've googled rolesor I'm pretty sure it was a gold/gold Skydweller

Either way and insane amount of money to spend on wearing a watch ironically (although I do like how the Skydweller works)

I love the idea of owning a gold/gold sub ironically.

With or without diamonds?

I guess it would have have to be on a nato strap

Vomits-in-mouth

Because they have the same Calibre 11 movement (i just discovered). That's an awesome watch you have there.

God no. That's just tacky.

Whereas this is the height of good taste...

The green one has always been strangely appealing... Although it has the air of being payed for in 50s.

I actually really like the white gold and blue ones. If I had the $$, I'd have one.
