Yes, this is a first for me. A few friends with Rolexes but I’ll be honest, and perhaps I shouldn’t be on a Rolex sub, I’ve never been sold on the idea of a Sub or GMT etc. I’ve got the Tudor BB58 that satisfies the sports watch daily beater, and I wanted something to balance it out.

Bought grey market, didn’t want to play games with the local AD as a first buyer and more or less consigned myself to a price that I was happy to pay. This watch was unworn. I toyed with the mint green dial, beautiful but I do believe the green craze will subside at some point and the blue sunburst will stand the test of time. Most will know already but the dial is so changeable under different light conditions. Lower light it goes almost a blue grey, really beautiful.

Proportionally the 36mm is the right one, for me at least. The jubilee and fluted is flashy enough, the sizing just tones what could be a fairly loud watch down. I very much liked the smooth bezel option too but it erred more on the size of sporty. I still think this is a watch that can be dressed up or down regardless, it straddles both sports watch and dress watch, but definitely leans towards the latter.

Cheers!
