Fave Summer Watch?

Warm weather is here in the Northeast, and I've gotta say I've been loving my Milgauss Z-blue.

Size, shape, polished surfaces, and of course the amazing dial really just come to life with sleeves rolled up or in a tee. Definitely getting much more wrist time as of late. It's like I've discovered it all over again.

Any other summer favorites from TRF?

On bracelet or strap, a blue Pelagos is hard to beat

I would have to say my YG Sub. There is something about YG and having a little tan to blend together. (Sorry, no picture; trouble downloading today.)

Stowa for me. I also prefer a rubber strap with warmer weather, rather than getting sweat, sunscreen, etc. in the bracelet. This is easier to clean and more comfortable, IMHO.

We've just had the hottest June week for 40 years and this blue beauty made it endurable. God, I missed the rain!

Hard to beat a rubber strap on sweltering days like we've had here in the Bay Area.

The Zblue is super for summer, try it with a blue Rubber B.
It was in my radar but since my new grail, the desire for rolex is on temporary suspension.
I admire your watch.

Wear my exp11 a lot but really wish it had a glide lock instead of the easy link.

Since it's always summer where I live I always use my one and only (not counting my swatch). It works great from the beach to office and viceversa.
