Pictures Make it way harder…

So I‘ve been thinking about a Daytona over the last couple of months and for some reasons I‘d have to let my Sea-Dweller go. However, when I was looki...

Jubilees are by far my most loved bracelet (haven‘t tried a president yet). But in terms of comfort and style they always do the job. Only keeping them clean can be a challenge as dirt gets into the small links easily.

It sure is the perfect ceramic Rolex!

But even though I adore the 116600 I‘d suggest a Deepsea for the Job. When everything goes wrong, your last resort could be beating the thing to death with your watch and for that some extra mass might come in handy 😉

So in my case I‘d consider myself a massive Rolex Rolex Rolex guy. BUT that doesn‘t mean that I don‘t enjoy seeing other people enjoying other, cheaper brands. I get excited over anything that‘s got a bit of heritage and coolness about it. Geez, my best friend is an Omega Guy. But for me the crown is just the perfect product. Image Quality and Looks just work for me 😇

This is so great. It screams Wall Street, Country Club and overall excess. I love it. Zenith Daytonas are so damn sexy. Congrats! 😇

Something quirky that actually isn‘t

So I got this 116600 Sea-Dweller last year around February. I was looking for a modern daily that‘s not a GMT Master since I‘ve already had a 16710. I...
