PM Rolex

I recently sold a PM (DD40 RG green olive) so took a group photo of the remaining. Hard to say which one is my favorite but the SkyD RG chocolate actually has the most wrist time among the three. It seems this particular reference continues to gain popularity too.

Hmmm, RG chocolate Sky D would be my least favorite of those three. GMT > Daytona > SkyD.

Anyway, three great watches nonetheless.

The RG SkyD is a BEAST of a watch.

I love mine as well. If its gold it needs to be colored gold imho although I have a soft spot for that plat Daytona as well.

Meteorite is quite special, Platinum Daytona is a king, RG Sky gorgeous but not my favorite of the three. I would have kept RG Green, hard to source and much hotter watch. Awesome collection nonetheless!

It’s a great picture. It also shows you how much bigger the sky dweller is. Massive. I wish they could’ve made it 41 mm. I personally love the yellow gold version with the black dial. It’s also the coolest movement Rolex has. Great collection.

Beautiful collection, the Daytona wouldn’t get any wrist time if they were mine.
In my opinion it’s just too small, a genuine unisex watch while the others are men’s watches.

Well that depends on how big your wrist is. I have a 6.5” wrist. That makes 40 mm or even 39 mm perfect for me.

How come you decided to sell the RG DD40 olive dial? That's one of the hottest watches right now.

PM SkyD is really PM of PM Rolex, but the plat Daytona has its special heft.

Thank you. I know the RG olive green is hot but I am more attracted to the RG SkyD. It's just personal taste

Thank you. The plat Daytona has slightly bigger lug, and much heftier than the SS, so it may fit better to bigger wrists

Very nice set of PM!

I didn't like the Platinum Daytona when it first launched because of the brown bezel and blue dial. I thought it was a odd mix of colors, but it has grown on me a lot and love it now.

That good sir is a powerhouse team!

If RG SD gets most wrist time, which watch goes second in wrist time? GMT or Daytona?

Thank you. I love the brown bezel it looks very smooth and unlike ceramic.

Thank you. Among these 3 would be the plat Daytona. But I wear them in rotation with some SS.

Was just thinking to myself, people say the pt Daytona dimension is a bit bigger than the SS version (I didn't know which part this is referring to), but it certainly looks smaller than the GMT, and is absolutely dwarfed next to the SkD!

Do you like YG? Curious if you ever have plans to add a YG piece to the mix, but this is already a glorious sight with so many amazing colors Am probably going to save this as my work station wallpaper; thx for sharing!!!
