Maybe splurge on the Platinum with the ice blue dial, maybe even with the diamond stick markers. 36mm is fine.
One will be on the wrist before too long, though probably the yellow gold if I’m paying.


Do it. Can be had reasonably if you search well.

Some awesome picks on here .. making me reconsider my choice and wanting a vintage SS Daytona more and more. The brushed bracelet and panda dial are truly something.

personally, i'm not a guy to baby a watch ever.

I am tempted to say my dream rolex is the double red SD, but i know what it would be worth, and i would be afraid to wear it daily as it is meant to be worn.

so - my dream rolex is the one i own, it's an alu bezel ND sub, and it's been everywhere with me. i never hesitate to wear it and i love it. that's all i got :)

Since I already have a PT Day Date, then
my current dream watch would be a Platona.

I had the same issue with pictures early on and a TRF member gave me this scoop, so am paying it forward. If you download the Tapatalk app to your phone you can run the forum in it, and picture posting becomes easy. Best of luck.

Since it is my "dream" Rolex does it have to be an existing one?

If not then it's a platinum GMT Master II on Presidential bracelet with Oysterlock (with Easylink) with Coke bezel and white dial. That would cover all the things I like about all different Rolex models. Platinum from Platona, GMT functionality and Presidential bracelet. I mean if it's a dream watch then I can dream right?

If it has to be an existing model, then it's a toss up between WG blue dial BLRO, Platona and RG olive dial DD40. Probably overall GMT still takes it.

I’ll get it started .. since I’m more into modern watches, that ice blue dial and platinum would be one that would fit my style as the bracelet flies a bit under the radar- the Platona 116506

I will be realistic here, you could say your dream Watch is a Watch maybe worth $200,000. But the next Watch I purchase will be my dream Watch, at an affordable price to me. It is the Green Dial Y/G Daytona. I already own the T/T Daytona 116503 (New Model) with the White MOP 8 Diamonds Dial. But some time next year I hope to purchase the Green Dial to me that is a dream Watch, one that you can afford

YG Daytona with green dial is gorgeous .. I saw it again the other night while watching wolf of Wall Street and couldn’t stop admiring it
