I'd trade some of those in for a DD40 absolutely, but hold on to the one with that lapis dial

Amazing collection! If you don’t mind my asking, what’s the box they are in? Love it!

I like YG and on occasion will wear it. Mostly a white metal person though.

Looks good! Wear it if you like it. After you wear it a bit I bet you will notice people don’t notice it 1/2 as much as you would think. Thats my experience with my 116618LB anyway and its a pretty loud watch. Where what you like and like what you wear as long as its situationally appropriate.

Yes. That lapis is definitely staying. So is the ruby string, bloodstone, vignettes etc... hence the indecisiveness...

That's correct my friend. It wears very big though and before you commit on one, try it out first. It is staying in the collection only because i love looking at the dial. Very little wrist time though.

Thank you sir, I see from your posts you are considering one. I can only say I wish I did it a lot sooner. No regrets going five digit over six.

It's 44MM right? Is it too much to ask if we can see a wrist shot? I want to see how big this thing looks on your ?¿? inch wrist.

My yellow gold watch isn't a Rolex; it's a Lange 1. I wear it with pride.

For years, I said I could not wear YG. I was wrong. Have a couple of pieces, as well as rose. It would not be my one and only, but it has a place.

I disagree

Yellow gold is "in" particulary with the youth.

Yep! BIGTIME now.

All the trend setters on social media have switched to solid YG or RG pieces now. Gold is the hot trend now. SS is so last year already. LOL

Never went to 6-digits. Do not like the maxi case at all, plus on this particular model, the white lettering against gold lettering.
I like my 16613LN, but ready to trade for a 16618LN.
