Huge. Love the idea of 3 straps though. Like having 3 watches in one. Almost justifies the price.

My grail! Congratulations!

Oh I didn’t buy that one haha. I went to inquire about the 4520v blue dial. 3-6 month wait with a 40% deposit I was told.

love the overseas but it is way too big for my wrist then they released a smaller one but they went way too small with 34mm me thinks

they should have went with 37mm.38mm like the royal oak

i actaully had a chance to get the 34mm, i was offered one because no one seems to want it but i didnt want to drop $25k on a less than perfect watch and where it will feel like im settling everytime i throw it on the wrist

 

[typerpinoy]

Yes the 42.5 of the chrono felt huge.

Always loved the Overseas on rubber. Would love to grab a brown dial in the future.

 

[rfx45]

this is good

 

[rfx45]

the simple 3-hander isnt too bad looking just wish it didnt have a date

crazy the steel version starts at around ~$42k (the last nautilus in steel retailed $35k?) but its patek and people gon' buy em anyways

Immediately it reminds me of this Maen Manhattan, which I’ve perused previously but didn’t feel the pull.


I expect these Maen’s to fly now tho

Gorgeous watch. Much nicer than the cubitus

Congrats on the root beer, so torn between that or a stainless Sky-Dweller

Thanks. I tried on the Sky Dweller as well when I first went in. It's not as big as it looks in photos. It wears much better on the jubilee bracelet as well. I think it would feel rather bulky on oyster. The blue dial and the green dial on the Sky looks really nice.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Rolexes in general wear much better than you think for the size compared to other brands. Trying on a Daytona for the first time was mind blowing to me.

Root beer is stunning. Congrats!

 

[flyknitlvr]

^ The problem is when you go the other way around.

It's always quite the adjustment going from my Hulk or GMT to my Daytona (despite the Daytona weighing twice as much) due to how much bulkier the maxi case wears vs. the Daytona's oyster case.

I do wish Rolex starting coming out with some 39mm models.

 

[typerpinoy]

One of the more underrated pieces in the lineup I think.

 

[solefx]

Love that piece so slept on … 3,6,9 dial makes it unique

Any recommendations on good quality multi-watch storage/display boxes?

This is the one I have. I thought it was the best without getting into the $1000+ range

Not a fan of the pelagos gmt bezel

Think my next two purchases will be a white speedy and silver dial VC fifty six. Gonna be a few years but those pieces would round out the collection beautifully.

 

[zeroregret]

White dial speedy looks really nice. A nice change from the usual black dial.
