(Friendly humor) Well, early this morning there was a serious sit-down conversation with the Internet. After much discussion..... The internet felt it could handle Rolex releasing an enamel dial perpetual calendar with the phase of moon on bracelet in Everose gold.

All good

Is this an actual model that Rolex used to sell or is it a clever photoshop trick?

Quite frankly, any of their modern sports watches just in more manageable ~37mm cases, more like 4-digit Rolex.

Why?? The line is definitely a sports model. They even have a yachtmaster in titanium, it doesn’t get more sporty than that.

In fairness even Rolex has been confused about if the yachtmaster were a sport model.

Notice the difference in hands

Was this watch ever available to buy from an AD or was this specification only available if issued by the military?

I do not know, sorry. Actually, pretty positive it was never sold at regular shops. I believe it was issued and maybe would have been available to order through military PX, though not sure about that last part. Regular models were but MilSub may have been an issued only type of thing.

Any of those annual calendar moonphase watches from the past would be great.

It's sad that they have an annual calendar movement but put it only in a dual time zone watch that isn't a classic dial format.

They have a moonphase date movement but slam it into a Cellini and with the weirdest moonphase dial known.

So I agree an annual calendar moonphase...

Meteorite Daytona, put it in my hand.

Lemans White gold, put it in my hand.

37mm daytonas, put it in my hand.

Moonphase Calendar/ Triple date, put it in my hand.

If I don't end up being able to purchase it, leave the past in the past.
