Considering something completely different.......

.......for me that is.
I've always been a sport watch type but I had a look at this the other day at my watchmakers place.
It's a Day Date President from about 1998.
Absolutely mint condition worn only a handful of times.
Green sticker is still on the case back
No flaws anywhere I can see with a loupe
WG with a diamond or 2 lol
I can get it for under 20g's

Not a fan of the diamonds plus they may actually devalue the watch a bit (experts, want to chime in) but if you like the watch that's what matters.

Not sure it's for me, actually I know it's not for me but I think it would make a great ladies watch.

Do you like all those diamonds?

Not bad looking but I'd change out the dial.

PS: two screws are loose

Not my thing but hey you might really like it. I'd rather have a DD sans diamonds.

No, me either but I thought for the wife?
Maybe not
She doesn't really need that many best friends

The DD is such a classic and classy piece, in WG or YG, but I would skip the diamonds.

I could maybe wear a watch with diamond markers but that's it for me.
