Crazy thought but how about a BB58? It has a ton of warmth and the indices reflect off of light in an awesome way.

Could take 10-15% of your wrist time.

I got this as an engagement gift from my wife 16 years ago. It's a nice watch and a great gift but just way too big so I've hardly worn it especially last 10 years.

Black 58 gilt hands. It has so much sub DNA in it but side by side quite different from the 41 Sub.

I prefer the bracelet with the watch to really give it the sun experience.

Daytona regrets...

IMG_0032.JPG
Please don't flame me for saying so... but my 116500LN is beautiful, but I am not in love with it. Now, this is a ME problem. I wore a 116519 (WG Daytona) for around 14 years and loved it. A couple years back I got the chance to buy the new 116500LN, so I jumped at it and sold my WG Daytona to pay for it. I mean it is SO pretty and a dream opportunity to own. Sorry to say, I miss the gold watch so much, I cannot love the new watch, EVEN THOUGH it is a beautiful watch! It's crazy! I'm even contemplating selling it. I rarely even wear it. I see they are back up to 33-36k, so if I price mine 2-3k cheaper it should sell. The whole thing really bothers me.

My very first watch was a 116234 DJ. Many people start with a DJ right?

I rarely wear it, not even once per month. Although I don't regret buying it, it just isn't as loved as my other watches.

I didn’t love my DJII. I wanted to love it because it represented something important to me but the more I looked at the dial I couldn't unsee that the scale was off, so after a couple of years I traded it back in. And I tried to love my polar Exp II 216570 because logically I new I should but I found it top heavy and uninspiring, being technically perfect wasn’t enough. Purchased the black 226570 and sometimes I’m afraid I love it too much, nothing else gets worn. I wonder if it’s perfect. It’s certainly as close as I’ve ever come.
