Flagship Friday

Each to their own like. But green and orange? Got to be pretty niche. All they would need to do is change the colour scheme and they’d have a total banger!

Nice, what's the ref?

Cheers, it's 6206-8040

Eldorado.

Nice check mine out on the previous page.

I love the green and orange Milgauss just not enough to drop 7Gs on it . Glad it’s out there though

Green and Orange was only introduced in 2007. Plenty of other Milgauss colour schemes to choose from if you have deep pockets!

The green tinted sapphire crystal glass was supposedly so difficult to make that Rolex didn't bother patenting it because they knew no-one else could make it Not sure if that is true but its an often repeated "fact".

This became my daily pretty quick.

Such a perfectly balanced watch.

But they’re so shiny

It is. I might even put it on the bracelet although it does seem to be a bit rubbish. We’ll see.

New watch Friday... well, new to me.

Ooooh. What's the pin at 4.15 for?

Wow. Put it on a NATO!

That how the dials look in normal light? (Presumably this is the sunburst one)

What's the pin at 4.15 for?

Opening the caseback usually

There is a slight sunburst effect to it. This is the SPB143 model. Not much sunshine today.

Thanks, I did wonder

Been wearing this more or less all week. Could’ve put the Rolex on but didn’t feel fancy enough.

Good choice of strap too

Still on my wrist. I really meant it when I said I think this is an outstanding watch.

^ I think they're great and very cool but I've come to the conclusion that it's not for me. If anyone wants my one, worn a handful of times, I'd take 300 ono.

Cheers, yeah I really like the strap. I want another one from him but it seems like he's not returning emails at the moment.

I'd take 300 ono.

Good price. Surely somebody who loves a practical and comfortable watch will snap this up.
