Picked this up last week and now can share the journey so far

Turns out my two recent Rolex watches were a little bit of a head turner. Beautiful two tone watches to me. But alas, I wanted something a bit more under the radar

I’ve had two Pateks before. My first was a Calatrava in J (5119 yellow gold) and then I got an Aquanaut 5167. Both I held for some time. I quite appreciated the Calatrava manual wind and loved the design of the 5167.

Since 2021 I have been Patek-less and there was…

And then it happened. I had to made a decision to trim my watch collection. I parted ways with my JLC Reverso, a loyal wrist partner for more than 10 years and a recent Omega Speedy.

I thought to myself. What should I do? Stay along with my current rotation or buy something.

and then god gave me a sign. In YouTube a Rolex 1016 came up to my feed. And my fascination grew towards the 124273

the stainless steel version is a beauty…

As we get older, so does our taste it seems. I’ve only ever owned one precious metal watch and it was a Calatrava. But this was my first with a two-tone

another first was a GMT for me. I’ve never had the appreciation for complications so I’ve broke two old rules with this one. In fact, I’ve never had two watches from the same house simultaneously.

The Zombie was introduced. Some call it Bumblebee and true Rolex enthusiasts who follow the GMT line would prefer to refer the Guinness…
