SD4000 is the most compelling of the bunch IMO

grimps · 1 August 2017, 02:25 AM

Milgauss white or black dials can't have sold that well and was only available for a few years , Id guess that they might be rare in the future

schro · 1 August 2017, 02:30 AM

I just pulled the trigger on a 118209 DD WG

They discontinued the platinum dial to save costs bc it is real platinum.

I see the 16622 w/ rehaut Rolex dial and flip-lock clasp being more rare in the future. My wife loves her watch so much she never takes it off.

Well done on the YM. Yours is 40mm and your wife's is 36/37 right?
I purchased mine 36/37 in 2003. Love it very much and I am not wearing it everyday. It has the classic prestige feels with humble character being 'single tone' colour....

Well done on keeping yours!! IMG_3639.jpg

powerfunk · 23 March 2018, 03:18 AM

Guess we need to add:

WG Sky-dweller on bracelet 326939, and on strap 326139
