There is that. But still, I do enjoy the opportunity to see other brands and can see why those with non-Rolex watches would be posting here. Perhaps a better title instead of the more granular directions only being included in the original post, which I did read… Who knew this thing would have legs! My contribution for the day.

Mixing it up with the stones this week - First onyx, today tiger eye, we’ll see what else may get some wrist time (this one needs a cleaning before it’s locked back up, there’s definitely some schmutz down in the corners). T Swiss T Mark, although there’s no lume on the hands (nor on the dial, of course).

Love this watch - Not often seen, and the chatoyance on this dial is so lively.

This one’s interesting but I really like the Onyx from the previous days! What a watch...

Continuing the whole “get stoned, stay stoned” theme for this week (following the Onyx and Tiger Eye DDs), here’s another of my very favorite pieces - A White Gold 18239 with a lovely, intensely blue Lapis Lazuli dial with no hour markers, lume hands, and T Swiss T marking. The WG/Lapis DDs don’t seem to be quite so scarce as the WG/Onyx ones, but it’s by no means a common configuration. The silver (white gold?) text looks superb against the blue - I wonder if it might look even better if Rolex had used the white enamel hands they used with dark Buckley dials.

I’d originally planned to seek out a Lapis 18238 in yellow gold, thinking that the yellow gold furnishings would complement the small yellow gold flakes and veins often found in Lapis Lazuli. But, once I saw this white gold Lapis, I was well and truly hooked!
