***The Official Sunlight Sunshine Photo Thread***

I have been incredibly fascinated with Rolex and how their dials and bezels play with light, especially sunlight. You've all been there...when the light hits it just right and you awe....
Help me celebrate the sunny days and stunning displays.

No watch I've owned has displayed more beauty in the sun than the LVC.

Wow, I had forgot how beautiful some Pams can look. Beautiful dial. The 372 is also a champ in the sun.

I've bought mostly PP and AP recently but the range of sunburst dials that Rolex makes are unrivalled for me. It's their modern wheelhouse.

I was praying you show up with the Platona.
But then his friends show up, I would love/hate to wake up to decide which to wear. All are all-stars.

Love your olive dial Bas.

Nice thread idea. Nothing like some bright sun to bring out the shine. :-)

Here’s a pic taken today during the first heat wave of 2018.
