What is your go-to Summer watch?
I just picked up this 1993 root beer 16713 with box & papers.

So far I'm absolutely loving the shape and size. The jubilee is stretched but still very comfy.

The warm colours are a great contrast to the other watches in my small collection too.

It got my thinking, what's your go-to Summer watch?

Very nice OP.

I don’t really have a summer watch. I guess maybe my BLRO as it’s colorful

We don’t really have a winter down here in FL. So, I never classify any of my watches like that. I wear all of mine all year round.

What is your go-to Summer watch?

Rose Gold all summer

Though that was Cyprus in August time. In the U.K. is very far from that

Cool Rootbeer you got there, congrats!!

My Summer watch is the Rolex Daytona 116500LN, the white dial makes a cool contrast with a suntan wrist

I would say my Tudor on the OEM fabric strap. I prefer straps in the summer.

Good looking watch

I don't have a summer or winter watch, but I do like to rock a TT GMT frequently - like next week on a west coast cruise.

I couldn't agree more. I find myself clicking on all of the Pelagos for sale just to look at them. I'm really drawn to them for many reasons. What a great tool watch with either black or blue dial.

Yours ain't so bad. I came back home last July-August and it was great in London and out in Hertfordshire. Nice to have a 2nd summer this year now it's all getting going downunder.

As for the OP I'd say IMHO the rootbeer is more autumnal, but does look great with a tan
