Lost the love for my BLRO....
Lost the love for my BLRO (and it was very similar to my Smurf anyway so I figured it kinda silly to have two WG Sports models anyway) so I flipped it for this.
It’s the Rose Gold and ‘Olive’ (or ‘snotburst’ as my mate calls it!) dial, Day Date 40 model 228235. 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....

You did good, there, my friend. that's a real head turner. I think that's what most "non watch" people envision when they think of Rolex.

Beautiful choice. I agree, two WG sports models kind of defeats the purpose.
