The perfect watch doesn’t exist?
My friend has a 36 datejust with a black dial and Roman numerals in steel and white gold - fluted bezel (ref: 116234.) He got it a few years ago at the airport tax free for £4K or so.
Gotta say it’s the perfect watch. Two things elevate it over the current black dial model - the extra interest in the dial from the Roman numerals - but more importantly - the awesome hidden clasp - so so much nicer than the current shiny hunk of scratch magnet.
I just think it’s basically flawless. He smashed his luxury watch choice with his very first purchase and wears it daily. Looks great with a suit or with jeans. Reliable as a tank. Price not even that bad when he got it.
What do you think. Agree with my assessment? or is it a dogs breakfast?
Fairly new to watch collecting. Super fast collecting journey! I've had a bit of everything, small gold pretty watches, large rugged watches, vintage British field watches. From Casio to Patek and eve...
Something about the newer turnograph doesn’t work for me... vintage ones on the other hand are 😘
