Big Rolex aren’t just a new fad though, the 8171 was 38mm back in the 1950s.



Rolex really need to bring back some of these great watches with unusual complications. Instead of just cashing in on SS sports models.
Not a big fan of Rolex, but this could convert me. Very pretty

My Tag Heuer F1 (380.513/1) that I bought in either 1992 or 93 while working for BAe in Saudi. £80, been to the bottom of the Gulf, Red Sea and an 80ft well near Qatif when I was drunk smile



Original straps and bezels are pretty much non-existent now.

Moon phases often do this, and it's why I really don't like them.

I wonder if the (strong) reflection in your photo doesn’t really show off the blue very well? hehe

I like these perpetuals and Datejusts and milgauss cases. Especially with the larger cases available now.

Yours looks great in blue.

I had a hankering for a silver faced Datejust or maybe another silver faced SS watch, it doesn’t seem to be a popular combination though.

Each to their own, and I haven't seen one in the flesh, but to me they look like 5$ watches just by the pictures.

If you wanted one and she got it for you she's a keeper.
