I couldn't decide which of these two vintage models I should wear today, maybe the one with the least number of scatches: let me count 1, 2, 3,.......

If you like you can read and see more of these vintage guys here: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=142600

Then this parcel arrived today a few minutes ago from DavidSW and that really sent a spanner in the works......one of the nicest dialed modern watches I've ever seen

A couple of things about this watch:

1. The dial is super beautiful, it vintage qualities, the maxi dial and the anti-reflection crystal are just awesome.

2. The grey dial is a subtle but great touch and it changes colour according to the lighting.

3. The caseback screws in to be fully recessed with the case resulting in a totally flat caseback that lets the watch sit in full contact with ones wrist for a more comfortable feel.
