Hi Dimitrii,

it it really an awesome nice collection, straight, not too big and still all bases covered. One really can see, that you put a lot of strategy and thought (besides an awful lot of money:-)) into that.

I wouldn´t go for the Daytona with the white dial, but in fact a 326933 Skydweller TT with White Dial is something that would complement perfectly. If you have the wrists to pull this piece off, of course!

And finally, I am a developer/contractor. It’s been a long 8 years. Lots of strategizing as I mentioned earlier to get to this point. Thank you for checking out my collection.


Remarkable Dimitri. You are living proof that with hard work and good decision making, nothing in life is unattainable. And at such a young age no less. I applaud you young man .

And just to show that I understand these same values; well, a picture is worth a thousand words...

Thank you for the compliment. I find the white dial Daytona to be a stunner.

Not a big fan of the skydweller, never did it for me.

My second Rolex was a DSSD and as much as I loved it before, I am happy to have moved on. I think 40mm is the right size for me.

Love the look of the SS sky dwellers, the blue dial and the white dial are both winners.

Wowwww!! That’s a very serious collection you got there.

Which GMT is that in the back? The picture is tricky and I can’t tell if it’s WG or the new RG.

It’s the RG (126715 CHNR). It’s a stunning piece for sure.

Lacking a Two-Tone Bracelet and a Leather Strap. Hehe.

Probably tough to answer but which do you prefer more out of the bunch? I'm looking forward to adding the 116619 to the stable soon.

Amazing! So you too have your bases covered with different metals.

Awaiting a platona or a platinum dd40 incoming thread from you

Thank you and you have a great SS collection going.

Which PM reference do you have your sights set on?

Would be a very difficult decision but I’d have to go with either 1 of the Day Date 40s if I could lick a “favorite.”

The RG olive dial is just a treat to look at. That combo is tough to beat.

Platinum dd40 is special for several reasons. First being that it is a watch I purchased to commemorate my first born son. The second reason being, it is the absolute flagship Rolex currently produced in the most exclusive PM. The platona is a beauty as well, but this one just felt special to me.

I love the smurf and personally believe that it is the most special modern iteration of the Sub. My personal favorite Submariner. Nothing like that smurf blue dial and bezel in the summer sun. I promise you will not be able to take your eyes off of it. 116619 is a modern classic.


Here an old TRF pic of the smurf that pushed me over the top and I decided that I had to have it. Not sure who originally took this picture on TRF but it’s an amazing shot.
