Gorgeous choice, sir... I’ve been reeeeaaally trying not to buy a second Rolex just yet, because I know it should and will be this one.

Excellent choice. The Day-Date in Rose gold is a stunner for sure and the president is probably the most beautiful metal bracelet ever made. Whether seen from close or at a distance, it’s truly eye candy.

Congrats. That combo of RG and the olive dial is stunning. I almost bought one a couple of months ago but I’m not a huge fan of the Romans. I may have to revisit my AD.

Absolute change of direction for me and my collection but while it’s undoubtedly the ‘dressiest’ watch I’ve ever owned it also feels surprisingly ‘sporty’ on the wrist and it’s not quite as ‘in your face’ as it’s YG siblings.

Dial and the bracelet really are works of art IMO....




















Huge step up.

Amazing beautiful piece !!!! You may get sick of this one too eventually , but it's special so hopefully you will hold on to it and take a break only if necessary, rather than flip
