Well... Some say I am wearing my watch on the "right" wrist, and anywhere other than the "right" wrist is an incorrect place.

Also - why fix it if it ain't broken?!?

Very nice,.....and you have the added wearing comfort of being able to wear it on your right wrist.
(you must be a "lefty")

I sold an 18K Daytona on leather strap (new model), because the darker tahatian mother of pearl dial made reading the time a bit difficult. I bought it online, so didn't realize the visibility factor might be
an issue for my middle aged eyes. (52 back then, 54 now)

It also tended to shift on my wrist a lot, especially if i tried to adjust to it a bit looser so that the
crown and buttons didn't dig me a bit.

I suspect a metal bracelet might be better in this regard also, reducing the "top-heavy" nature of this model in heavier 18K to move around on the leather strap. I found if i tightened the strap to reduce movement, the buttons and crown were more prone to be digging me a bit.

The wider head made a difference, probably, on my medium sized wrist. My 2 tone datejust
i've never had a problem with, comfort wise. The white bold roman dial is very easy to read also.

Anyway,....love the model,.....wish i were a lefty or Rolex made a movement
for the bigger models in left AND right hand versions!

i must say, it took me a couple of weeks to get the "urge" to wear it... today was the day.

it's like - love at first sight, all over again

i think this is going to be a daily for now.... (the 16610LV has gone back to the watchbox )



(please excuse the dodgy iPhone wrist pix with damn HDR switched on )

Too some wrist pix on a sunny North London arvo.

Though it was quite challenging to take wrist pix of a white dial watch....

Yes it is, but it is in sterling silver if I remembered correctly. Got it in 2006 when I was still in Melbourne.

I can't imaging how much more "damages" will be on WG or YG or RG rings (as they are softer) as my ring attracts quite abit of scratches, because it sits abit higher than all of my other rings.

Beautiful watch mate but it looks better on 'the wife'!!!!!

[Z-Sub]

fantastic Yes it's been on my wife's wrist for over a year now

[TheVTCGuy]

What i have found is that if she has access to the watchbox and she wears it/them, then I have excuse to buy more watches. It has worked quite well for me so far.

No?
