Enjoy, actually enjoying it more than I thought I would prefer it to both deep-sea James Cameron and daytona. It's my first GMT.

Hi!

I have a feeling this isn’t just the honeymoon period!

I think the DS JC will feel a bit much and the Daytona not quite enough after wearing this!

The Daytona is the only watch I no longer have.

I have big wrists and it looked a bit small on me; persevered for a while but just didn't gell with it.

All excited for tomorrow after seeing your picture...I can picture the huge smile you had when you took that shot of the watch!

As its located in a 5* hotel, its actually open 7 days a week; one of the few I guess.

The hotel shall be especially ram packed tomorrow, so there for 10am and back for Easter stuff with the kids.

Ah interesting, yeah tbh the Daytona doesn't get much wrist time for me too, it's just so small! Plus when it comes to a chrono I much prefer the 321 steel speedmaster. It's still small but doesn't feel as tiny as the daytona.

Huge grins definitely the order of the day, send a photo of yours when you collect tomorrow! I've still not rotated out of it to any of my others since Thursday so it's definitely a contender. If I could only keep 2 watches, this and the 321 would be the ones, only 1? You'd have to put a gun to my head and even then I'm still not sure I could choose between them.

If i could only keep 1...has to be the full Rosegold GMT that I have on today.

I actually havn't wore it for a wee while as I have been fortunate enough to be offered other stuff this year, but its defo my fav.

Due to lack of sun, I am looking a bit pasty currently but when I am my normal olive colour the everose matches my skin tone perfectly.

That pic doesn't capture the rose gold very well.

Congrats on the BLRO

Yup...that shows it up a lot better!

I generally don't ever post pics on here and it was a quick shot to accompany the post.

If you post a pic your a bam, if you don't post a pic your a liar; there are some really undesirable posters on here.

It was your exact picture that convinced me when I was offered it last year; I was actually going to pass but after seeing that, I popped in, tried it on and that was that!

Beautiful! I've always been a diver and chrono guy at heart, plus when you couple that with my space geek obsession the 321 is hard to pass up.

Are they going after the Swatch market? rofl

On a stylish young lady (like my daughter!) that will look amazing imho.

The watch market isn’t just about middle age blokes.

I'd have one and I'm older than you but the AD is already making all the wrong noises. I don't think I'll get one and I suspect it won't be in production for long.

Thats lovely.

The first expensive watch i ever bought was back in 2003 and it was an Omega triple date and if i recall the reference was something like 3520.

Cost me around £1850 I think and I wore the ass out of that watch.

Its in its original box with papers in one of the cupboards....seeing your pic I think I need to dig it out.

Will always have a soft spot for that watch.

Looks awesome.

From the new releases, I really really really like the Ti Yacht Master.

I'll never have one though as I'll never be able to justify one... Can dream though cloud9
