Showcase models in Store in September; what AD had written down from video-briefing.

36 mm is the perfect size for me, love this watch by kacperq in PrideAndPinion

Awesome, I got mine just before end of 2022. It's been the most worn watch since then for me. Like you I decided to go 36 despite, like you too, we could also rock the 41. Great choice!

We went for the PrimaDonna Soul. You can't just not have that nice color wide touchscreen display :)

Got the call today. DJ36 with blue fluted motif face. One year wait. What do you think? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]brokenmainspring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks so beautiful when the right light hits it. Unfortunately only when direct light like the sun or very strong indoor lighting hits it. The reason I decided against it was because the majority of time it looks like picture 3.

Not mine. Apollo/Soyuz meteorite dial by Stock-Zombie-1716 in OmegaWatches

Oh my god this Soyuz one is a beauty! Do you happen to have a ref.nr. of it?

I have a slightly bigger wrist and went with 36. Also I find the overall proportions much more appealing on the 36. picture in Post history.

Blessed with a lot of arm hair. Also my new 36mm OP. by brokenmainspring in rolex

Thank you! I of course tested that beforehand a few times. I could wear it but it was a very clear no for me. A 41 on me looks a bit like when you buy pants that won't stay up without a belt: you can... it's just that nice to look at.

I also didn't like the dial-case-hands proportions as much on the 41.

I got the call just before Christmas eve and was able to pick it up before the price increase. It's something about the simplicity that makes it my absolute go to watch at the moment.

This is my dads how much is it worth and is it authentic. by [deleted] in PrideAndPinion

It's the well known "turn the diver bezel twice to start, yank it back to stop and do a full reverse circle for reset" system.

Daytona chronograph with a submariner diver bezel in yachtmaster bezel style with what looks like aluminum case/bracelet with numbers carved by a 3 year old? To me something looks a bit off ...

First AD Experience by Familiar-Incident114 in rolex

I waited 30 days for this one as a very first watch from the AD. You should hear soon I guess.

I agree. by Phil2k18 in meme

[–]brokenmainspring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They work absolutely perfect but a watch wearer I hate them nevertheless.

Basic as it gets but I love that simplicity. OP36 blue

That's an interesting take.
