I love the unapologetic Rolexes. The big wg YMII, any diamond dial and some of the bezels, etc. I'm adding your bold gold Daytona to the fu I love Rolex list, fyi.

interesting that you say this.

I kind of feel like this is an “I’m unapologetically me” type of statement. I am who I am, type of piece.

This is a bold watch for certain. I’m okay not flying under the radar. And it is what it is.

Took me decades to get here.

Great observation. Thanks for posting.

I can definitely appreciate this. I come from humble but proud beginnings and I absolutely love wearing my watches and not flying under the radar. One day I’ll have a PM Daytona...

Congratulations and enjoy Seth. That watch is downright beautiful I’ve come to appreciate PCL’s with a polished case. They work well together IMO

Personally, think it's a beautiful reference, how can it not be, and seems to look especially nice paired with those great looking boots in the first post.

You better buy this before John Mayer flashes it. I personally prefer the contrast of the OF but both are heavy hitters.

It’s a winner in my book. I find it refreshing to see someone who bucks the trend and goes with what they like. choice my friend.

I’ve got a few “silver” watches on rubber. And the YM OF. So this might be a better fit.

I’m about 5 minutes from texting my guy to put it in the back for me....

To a certain degree though, it might “fly under the radar”. I see so many Michael Kors watches out there that mimic the Rose Gold, that this may just blend in. You’ll have to let us know how it goes.

I’ve also tried that watch on many times. It’s FANTASTIC!!!
