That's brilliant. A vintage vibe on a modern reference. They nailed it!

Honestly steve, it would probably be the bottom of the pile for yellow gold Rolex models for me, maybe asides from the YMii. Sub, Daytona, even gmt on oyster.

That’s not to say this isn’t a really nice watch, I just prefer others :)

(And the bezel gradient to grey is almost pointless it may aswell be black)

Stunning! How does the gray look in person? Specifically, does it “shine” at all or is it completely subtle

(Probably not asking this very well).

Well the fact that it’s ceramic means yes it has some shine but it’s overall pretty subtle. Light or dark depending on the lighting. It’s a cool look for sure.



And who the hell came up with such a horrible nickname as Brittney Griner? Nope!

I like it. On the list for a solid gold one but the TT is a possibility. Might get both.

I like the all gold too but for my whitish reddish skin tone, two tone may be the way to go.

I didn’t really think I can pull of YG but after seeing this one, it’s on my list. But probably a very difficult one to get right now.

I'm glad people are liking it. That will hopefully draw more attention to it and reduce some heat from the models I'm interested in. Win win.

Shall we nickname this the “diet tonic” and the full gold the “tonic”?
