I'm not a Rolex fan, something about them just doesn't do it for me and I can't explain why. That was until I seen the Cosmograph Daytona in Ice Blue

This just blew me away and is the only Rolex I dream of....and I'm happy just dreaming about it

I'm loving this. New to me, but sadly no retailers where I am!

In platinum. Lovely indeed, but the price would undoubtedly be eyewatering...

^^^^^ Rather weighty, both in grams and £ - I think that RRP is about £55,000.
Would be far too heavy to wear every day though.

I'm happy to let you drool over my Submariner in the meantime.

I am drooling. And it's a no-date to boot! Exactly what I want.

I just read through the “Watches in movies thread” and now have a new watch I’m dreaming about - the Longines Evidenza. What a beauty. And if it’s good enough for Bogart than it’s certainly good enough for me.

You would be considerably lighter in the wallet so I think that's balance!

An Explorer was my dream watch (in addition to the Submariner) until I got my C65 Trident Vintage. I know they're not exactly the same kind of watch, but the C65 Vintage really has scratched that itch for me.

One to keep in mind I reckon, far more than a vintage DJ.
In my view, far and away the best “one watch” Steel Rolex, that is genuinely suitable for any occasion.
