Been 23 years and going to the AD to collect never gets old

Was really excited about this one !
Die hard Oyster on sports fan,but this one looks damn good on the Jubilee !!

Adjusting the time is interesting .
Turn it upside down and think in reverse .

Getting used to the swap of date and crown position ,not an issue .
It takes few minutes and you are used to it .

Green is similar to the Sub LV ,for those that wondered.

My pics are more informal like it really looks like, compared to staged ,artificial lighting type of pics.

Saw some watches of note at the AD :

GMT WG Blue dial :

Own a Meteorite and have seen the black dial .The blue dial is brilliant ! Those who consider it ,dont think twice
(Another example of thinking that black is better than blue ,judged by pics .Wrong ! HAVE to judge in hand ,in the metal .

YG SkyD Black dial /Oysterflex :

Wow ! Shocked by this one .
Have seen a RG Chocolate dial before and own a SS Oyster SkyD black dial .
This one knocks the RG version out of the ball park .
It is superb !! The combination of the YG with black dial and black oysterflex is stunning .That 42mm of polished YG pops against the black contrast .

Very Nice! What was Rolex's reason for this reverse styling?

Barada7 · 11 February 2023, 12:30 AM

Comfort-wise the crown makes perfect sense there for a righty (the date window maybe less so). Beautiful watch!

I think I'd still like it on Oyster, but I'd take it on either.

This reference is awesomely disorienting.

Congrats !

The right part of the dial is open like a Sub dial ,the left is quite getting used to witha cyclops over 9.
Crown on the left is not an issue .
