What You Wear'in On "Open 9" Saturday?







I love vintage Datewheels with open numbers. One of my biggest criticisms of new Rolex is their lack of innovation on datewheels....BRIGHT BLINDING WHITE with boring black font numbers=BORING!!!!

Open 9's

Okay, you guys, now that I understand what you have been talking about with all this "open 9s and 6s stuff, here's a bad flick I took of my 49 plus year old GMT 1675, with the open 9 more or less in view!
