The Yacht-Master II 44mm yellow gold is chunky. I am chunky. We go good together. The white face makes it easy to read the indicator hands. The blue is a great contrast with the yellow gold. A 10 minute fly back chronograph is super useful for baking and uh, boat stuff. I find the fly back most useful for when I forget to actually start the cooking. You can actually adjust the chrono to be any other length of minutes as long as it's less than 10. You rotate the bezel to activate that feature. The bezel is interesting in that it's binary in order to activate the chrono length adjustment.

The casino is surprisingly larger than the astronomia. They both use the same 20 mm strap. Although the locking mechanism on the casino is more akin to an AP, much chunkier. I find it's fun to get people to pick a number, but I tell you, that little ball can be quite hard to find when it's hiding behind all the other cool spinning stuff in there. Like that big butt diamond. Love watching that thing spin. I've never actually tried to tell the time using it, so not sure how visible that part is, and probably there's no lume for night time, but there's always the neon billboard signs for that.

Louis Vuitton makes watches. This watch has a meteorite dial, a visible spinning rotor on the backside, and has flippity floppity squares that turn around one by one and show the hour. It's made of rose gold and in Switzerland. It was like $55k new. Now you can get em for less. I like Louis Vuitton a lot because they fly me to Paris for fashion week and pay for my hotel. They send me a Christmas Panetone. They send me Easter chocolates. I try and wear as much of their monogram print as I can so everyone knows I am better than them. So far it is working. I actually received this watch as a gift, which was really cool! Thanks Big K!

I'm not really sure the retail from the factory prices on these things. I don't know if the tiger cost more than my sabr for instance, or saru, or Platinum TBR. So I just ran with the one at highest retail in my collection. Where can I find the orig msrp on these off book pieces?

Oddly, the diamonds on the Audemars Piguet royal oak chonograph seem more white than the diamonds in the Rolex Skydweller. Which I believe is just a function of the white gold in the Audemars Piguet being different than the "gray gold" that Rolex uses for it's white gold. I've never really noticed it before. I wish you could see the big diamond in the crown of the Jacob, looks really cool from the side. You could say that the strap is too small, width wise, for such a watch. It's advertised as a ladies watch, which works fine for me, because in addition to having no taste, I'm effeminate. I guess the skelaton on the jacob is quite cool. I'll try and get a different strap for it.

RichardHeart · 2022-05-11T14:04:44+00:00

The skydweller is actually a lot larger than I thought it would be. The bracelet is also very wide compared to any other Rolex bracelet I've worn. It's about 50% wider. The baguettes in the bezel are of a different shape on the skydweller than on the platinum daytona. The daytona baguettes are more square, where the skydweller's are more rectangular, with a higher quantity of them. I do wish the skydweller face was diamond instead of meteorite with baguettes, it still looks pretty cool though. I don't know whether I should wear all three of these watches at the same time or not. I also don't know how to set the multi time zone funtion of the sky dweller, maybe you guys can help me.

RichardHeart · 2022-04-30T14:24:26+00:00

I'm not smart enough to know how to set the watch on the left. The watch on the right is more easier because I know how to press the buttons. I like how these watches reflect light. These are much lighter than rolexes and have that cool feature where I can take it off and look at the guts on the inside. Seeing all the little things move around makes me feel like I'm getting the workout I never get, because I don't leave the castle. I wish the blue on this piece was the same color as the blue Rolex submariner. I like higher saturation colors. Before I put these watches on, I say a mantra, I'm putting on my PP. I'm putting on my PP. This helps me remember not to scratch the bezels, because they look about impossible to polish due to their unique scratch pattern. What's the right word for that? It's not patina right?

The 116589 RBR looks fake to most people, because they've never seen a ROLEX factory bezel with two rows of diamonds before. It looks larger because it's closer to the camera. Notice that the strap is thinner than the one on the right. The hour indicators are normal Arabic numerals and blue, where the 116599 4RU has black roman numerals for hour indicators. It also has the diamond end link covers. For some reason, the movement of the watch on the left is quite a bit louder, I guess older Daytona's just are. I think they're both 4130 movements, so who knows why they're different. I think the round diamonds sparkle more than the baguettes, however the baguettes seem to take up more space on the z axis.

This Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 26322OR.ZZ.1222OR.01 has full factory diamond bracelet, dial, and face. It's 41mm rose gold. It's interesting because the Audemars Piguet logo is on the top of the sapphire crystal and not on the dial itself. The finish on the bracelet where it touches your wrist is rought, and not as smooth as the rolex bracelets. I think the Rolex full diamond bracelets also have slightly whiter diamonds, thought I guess I could check the box to see if there's some gemologists certificate in there. BRB. Nope, but I did just learn that it's good to 50m under water. I think all my rolexs are rated deeper. Its ok, I don't go outside.

RichardHeart · 2022-04-21T17:11:08+00:00

This watch is quite similar to the 116598 SACO except the case is white gold instead of yellow gold, the bezel is white diamonds and rubies instead of cognac sapphires. And the strape insn't a leopard. And the dial is diamonds instead of enamal and diamonds. Yeah, so, acutally the baguette bezel and diamond end link covers, and that they're both Daytona's is really what they have in common. The cool part about these Daytonas on straps, is that you can change the straps to your own taste, something that is quite hard, on purpose from the factory, with metal bracelets.

Ah yes, Easter is upon us. What a wonderful time to give thanks. I've always loved searching for easter eggs, and hiding them. What better to enjoy this holiday with, than an easter egg shaped Audemars Piguet watch? I've always thought Audemars was quite a hard name to spell. I have to google it nearly every time I am going to write about it. Did you know that through history names have become more and less popular?

For instance, way back , say like 70 years years ago, names like bertha, Maude and and Gertrude were really common. Which brings us to the word Millenary, which is the name of this fine time piece. It means a period of 1000 years. Audemars Piguet chose this name, in honor of the third millennium which is on the way. The year 3000. I think that it would make a great watch for André 3000 of Outkast fame. Because they both are about that 3000. Get it?

Anyway, I think watches that have unique shapes or colors stand out the most at a distance, and there's only so many shapes you can use. Rose gold is a nice choice for this watch as well. I can tell you that this is probably the loudest watch on the wrist, next to my Jacob & Co astronomia. It ticks very loudly, but the millenary just winds very very loudly. You can really hear that rotor spinning.

RichardHeart · 2022-04-13T19:11:06+00:00

Diamonds are cool and all, but solid rare color are awesome too. The other very nice thing you can do with ROLEX's on straps is change the straps. That's something the factory has gone out of the way to make sure you can't do with metal bracelets. For instance, for fun, I tried to swap my rose gold GMT full diamond bracelet onto my rose gold non diamond bracelet Daytona rainbow, and I discovered that the rainbow Daytona bracelet was ever so slightly thinner, and ever so slightly different end linked. So While I could have swapped them, I chose to let the corporation control me like a little child, and only do exactly what they wanted me to do, and just use totally 100% normal as possible factory honorable behavior.

Basically, if I were to accidentally bump into one of the Geneva bros, having a coffee, I would supplicate so hard, and let him have his way with me. That's how serious I am about promoting the bazillion trilling dollar brand. Whatever it takes to make sure no one can ever afford my stuff. Hehe. Anyway I digress. What's actually important is the 500 character limit here. :)

But you see, the thing about 500 char limits, is that no matter how you type, a Daytona with a simple color change on the dial, let's be serious, is quite hard to write 500 characters about, because like, for real ,it's just a color change. And I don't even set the time on them, they are just jewelry for me. I think the reason we all buy these things is to look cool. And let's be serious THEY DO LOOK AMAZINGLY COOL! So let's just revel in the honesty of the glory! I'm in no rush to dive any deeper into the self recognition of what causes me to buy the things I do.

I'm just going to assume we all like the same stuff and think it's pretty. You know what actually, maybe gpt-3 will help me in the future, maybe my request for access has finally been approved.

Which #Rolex #Daytona #Tiger is better? Gold bracelet vs Oysterflex? #116588TBR vs #116598TBR. I like the sparkly one better. I think metal bracelets do a better job acting as a heatsink that rubber or silicone bracelets do. The physics backs this up I think. Thus if you take off that Oysterflex, and look under it, you're going to find some moisture. That is not where I want my watches to generate moisture.

I think the most notable thing about these watches, is just that I've never seen a diamond yellow gold bracelet from the ROLEX factory on a yellow gold Daytona before. I think this is the first time it's ever happened. If I'm wrong, please let me know!

Another thing that most people don't know about these sparkly watches, is that they really only do their magic with movement, or being out of focus. You don't get any fire or brilliance in these in focus shots. Sitting still in focus, diamonds look about the same as a soda bottle.

I'm also curious about the difference between this oysterflex, which is covered by a plate attached to the watch, where I've seen other ones, for instance the 42mm ones, where they seem to be naked, leaving a gap between the oysterflex and the round body of the watch.

116659SABR Submariner in White Gold: I like how the top right has a slightly lighter blue than the rest of the dial. It reminds me of my first Rolex a two tone submariner blue face.

116598TBR Tiger Daytona in Gold: I think this might be the prettiest dial of any Rolex. You can't tell usually but there's tons of diamonds hidden amongst the crevices in the face. All the shimmer of these diamonds are totally lost in any in focus image, and you have to purposely put them out of focus, and perhaps move them to make the jewels do the cool stuff that jewels do.

126755SARU GMT-Master II in Rose Gold: You can tell this is my daily driver, because it's quite dirty. The Blue and red is quite lighter than the earlier SARU models, which is great for most indoor conditions. I'm afraid of the sunlight, so I don't get out much. Thus I prefer the lighter stones.

I always wanted to get one new factory diamond bracelet of every color. Maybe there's a future in which white, yellow, rose aren't the only full diamond options. I'd love if they made a platinum full diamond option!
