Icon19 Basel 2013 - The new Day-Dates - leather & color - all 6 models

the full range of RG, WG and YG colors....i think the two RGs and the WG blue are quite nice.

the cherry has potential, too, while the green and cognac might be a bit much.

Sweet, classic DD lines and sharp and fresh colors. A pleasant surprise. I'm a huge stella dial fan too. Now if the prices were similar, what would you do, vintage or modern?

That green would be a stunner with the right attires! I think my fave is the blue- rolex does nice blue dials. Thanks for sharing Carl!

Yeah, these I like!!! The 2 RG's are very nice and elegant. The cherry, green or blue also hold some appeal to me too! Maybe around $25k perhaps??? Or a bit less?

Haha wrong. Lol.

I like them all. But to a non technical person what is the difference between these and previous DD's colours aside.

The big news is that the DD is being offered on a leather strap - dials come and go quite quickly

Like the new additions but the cost will be insane and way too high for a watch on a leather strap!

I like them all, I wouldn't have the red or green one as my only watch but they'd certainly do for some outfits...

Fair enough. I was wondering if there was something more that I was missing.
