What is the best looking PM watch?

In the market for a new precious metal watch. Have the 116618. Looking for a another one. Can you give me some ideas about what you think is the best looking and show some pics? Thanks

116618lb... I also really like the Daytona oysterflex, but I think it wears very small.

Does the AP ever feel weird, or out of place in your small collection? It’s just such a drastic size increase from 2 other watches that are also sport pieces.

I’ll admit, I didn’t like it.

But I stopped noticing it almost immediately. And then I realized fir some reason I prefer it.

I can’t get this watch out of my head.

Once you own it, you’ll forget the gap’s even there

The OF doesn’t look a bit funny puffing out like that?

My AD gave me an opportunity I could not pass up. So I sold off something else.

I’ve had it before, and moved it to free up cash for something else. But I just can’t get it off the brain, so I’m patiently waiting for it to arrive.

Very exciting

Congrats.

I think it has an almost mesmerising quality. From the RG clasp, to the black OF, next up is the RG bezel rim, black bezel insert, RG rehaut, black dial, RG hands and hour markers. Perfect contrast. The only thing I’d change would be the red dial text.

Nice Seth!! I've considered this one more than once. Great price point for PM too. Just so unique. Post up some new pics when you get her.

Day Date. It would also be a good complement to your existing piece. These are my favorite combos.

So many great choices/complimentary pieces for your Sub. Besides the Sub, do you have any others in the collection?

I believe this is an end-game piece for me. I love everything about it. Weight, the subtle diamond bling, the brown cerachrome with the ice blue......everything.
