Can you snap a photo in the sunlight please? Does it still have that flat green in certain lighting?

I might be sounding like a stuck record around here but it is impossible to say with any degree of certainty by referencing an image of unknown origin and in camera processing viewed on an uncalibrated screen without a direct comparison with a known sample photographed in identical conditions.

Could be old, could be new, could even be blue....

Devil dog! That’s cool. Very cool.

Turns out it is a straight up, an edited and unfiltered photograph of my mark one that I purchased from the A.D. in October 2022. Totally unfiltered and unmanipulated, just straight up iPhone shot. Here’s another.

Your collection is amazing, I'm very jealous.

But with the greatest respect, that Sky Dweller looks far too big for your wrist!

Despite the incredible collection, I’m more jealous of the fact you live in Tokyo- wife and I recently got back from there. It’s the best place I’ve ever travelled to!

Glad you had a great trip.
Tokyo is a very convenient and comfortable place to live.
There are also a lot of ROLEX AD.
Of course, it is very rare to be able to buy a Rolex, lol.
Sorry if I sounded rude as I am using the English translation tool.

What’s your wrist size? Mine is 6.3” (just about 16cm)
I used to wear an omega planet ocean 42mm, looks like a kid borrowed his daddy’s watch so I sold it.
Now I’m struggling between a sub or gmt
But look at your wrist shot, I started to doubt myself, maybe I should stick with my DJ36 and YM40

I took a simple measurement and it is about the same size as yours.
How will others see me? What do they think?
I don't think it matters.
What is important is that you yourself like the watch.
The sense of value is within you.

126610LV MK1 = Starbucks, 126610LV mk2 = Cermit. Can we agree on that?

I do not support

I think Starbucks is a terrible nickname and I refuse to use it in reference to a Rolex
