Sports Model McQueen Exp

Dress model Plat DD with the ice blue dial and romans
or DD II... Id REALLY have to try it on BUT on my wrist
I think the size makes the DDII look more like a sports
model as my wrists are smaller.

Well Have to admit that the Pam Am is fantastic Mike.

Have an SS Daytona white dial and drool over the choice Bisquitlips, RockRolex and bewithabob made on the Meteorite Daytona.

I've seen a few meteorites, some are washed out and some "pop" I found one for sale recently (fairly cheap) and I couldn't even tell it was a meteorite (it looked "slate" to me) no wonder it was cheap.

Still waiting on my Red Sub and Double Red........

I don't believe my Grail exists:
I want a Day Date or Day Date II in platinum with meteorite and Romans (that really "pops" like the "Star of David" meteorite. And NO diamonds. I've seen a DD meteorite but it has two diamonds one at the six and one at the nine, or like the Masterpiece that is practically ICED.

Oh and a touch of red like the Daytona meteorite. One last thing: a bark bracelet with hidden clasp, in platinum of course

Let's see...if I am going ULTIMATE grail, I think it would have to be a TT Daytona with Tahitian MOP dial. That would probably do it for me.

Hmmm... I'm going with a Platinum DD II with the glacier dial.

Reality - I'll take the SS/Plat YM or the SS Daytona with a slate dial. Elegant!

I am so with you Woflgang............except mine would have the star index. That said I could still be in ecstacy with the one you have pictured. What good taste. I would take one of these over ANY other vintage types. NO question...
