I'll bet I know which one of those he's getting! Some very nice watches there and it's good you took a look at the others. Based on the number of wrist shots taken with the Platinum Day-Date it says a lot. That picture of it beside the watch with the strap is WOW!

Yeah, that platinum DD is awesome. You know you could always go for the 10k Apple Watch

It was like summertime today, riding up the Pacific Coast Highway to Newport Beach. Just beautiful scenery.

What did you think of the DD, AP and GO? I like the Platinum Rolex Day-Date 40. The determining factor now will be obvious, what kind of discount, availability, and how much investment income comes in from my stock portfolio in December, dividends and capital gains.

For my bracelets I put them (just the bracelet) in my little "Ultrasonic" cleaner from eBay. I use a diluted dish soap mixture with warm water. That watch spray stuff works miracles for soap film or anything else. For my vintage Omega I take a damp paper towel (not too much water), spray the watch with some watch spray, wipe it, take another moderately damp one to wipe off the rest and then dry. It comes out looking just like my Explorer II after using it under running water with a toothbrush. I like being able to do this weekly and randomly throughout the week (my WIS OCD for ya). If you're into water sports then an Oyster would more than likely be the way to go in most of those cases. I think the Oyster is the way to go I do agree about the Oyster. It just feels so robust to me, a watch for all situations. I used to give my Explorer - and my Milgauss - a weekly bath, and they were none the worse for it.

Looking at all those pics - if my humble opinion means anything - the DD in Platinum looks best on your wrist, and suits you so well. The watch looks as though it was made for you!

Now, that's a fun idea! I would really be ahead, as the 44 grand USD would be over 55 grand in CAD$$$! The watch I would get: This is the Omega Seamaster 300 Platinum LE. It costs $44,800CAD, so I would have over 10 grand left over! The same watch, with platinum bracelet, goes for $77,000CAD. It must weight a ton!! The leather strap actually has platinum stitches as well.

I agree. I never cared for the RO in photos but in person, it won me over. At one time I was impressed with this Bumblebee. Handling it IRL made it that much more desirable. But just couldn't part with my money and walked out.

I just called Fredric H. Rubel Jewelers in Laguna Beach to see what they have in stock. The sales lady told me they have one Rolex Day-Date 40 in yellow gold with the Black, diagonal motif dial. I will visit them tomorrow around 1:00pm and take some photos.
