New Rolex!

Well it belongs to my brother, I just took the pictures. I love the dial.







Together we make up 5:



And something I picked up from the same seller, it's kind of uncommon.

That really is a beautiful dial - champagne?

The dial reminds me of the vintage Daytonas. Would you (or anyone else) mind sharing the particular model number and how much they go for on average these days? I love how simple it is.

It's more like a charcoal color, grayish black sunburst. I think it's a 1500, they usually go for around $900-$1.5k.

Our watches are pretty similar, I don't know what watch I want next. Thinking about a 1016 or a 5513, but that will take some time to save up for.

I am very tempted to flip my Speedmaster and maybe find one in Hong Kong when I go with the family in a couple of years.
