Purchased to commemorate the birth of my daughter, received a couple of weeks after she was born (sadly didn't arrive in time for the birth). I wear it daily so it's captured in all photo's throughout her life.

Thanks Brian! I will say it has decreased my desire to have many of the newer Rolex sports models though. I just love a 5 digit Rolex!

I’m like you where my close second to hold on to is the 321. I mean look at that movement! Love it

I’ve prolly mentioned this watch in other threads of this nature. It’s nothing compared to the models some have shared.

But it’s just my first Swiss watch given to me nearly 60 years ago by great parents.



Not the original bracelet - this is a newer beads of rice bracelet I purchased from Otto Frei. The first one wore out about 15 years ago and Omega had stopped making them.

I’d say it’s quite something compared to watches we can just buy Willy nilly with enough disposable cash.

I certainly wish I had something like this

The rose gold is spectacular especially with the gold bridge. Very underrated watch and in my opinion something quite different to the Royal Oaks with unbelievable quality and depth of the movement.

This is an absolutely stunning watch. I’d love to see a video of how this is done because I’m so drawn to genuine artisanal work.
