Incoming!

So I've been looking for a casual piece to wear around the house or to run errands around town with. Something with a little "pop" or suitable for a vacation in Maui. Basically a summer fling thing.

Oddly enough, I've REALLY struggled with this choice. I'm not sure why I think my current stable doesn't work - i probably just want an excuse for another watch. After much deliberation, I finally made a choice...























to be continued!

My guess would be some kind of Rolex, that is unless Mike somehow forgot what subforum he was posting too.

Judging from Mikes collection there are only a few choices left. Maybe he is getting a ladies DJ with extra links to be a "trend setter". ROFL. Can't wait to see.

Correct me if I am wrong, but that sure sounds like a 216570 is heading your way. I am finding it to be the perfect summer watch that is lightweight and ready for anything.

Ok, here's a hint... it's yellow and will give my 116718 a run for title of Summer King.

Sounds like it's going to have some serious drool factor Mike

I would go YG Daytona with yellow sub dials......

Congrats on your Daytona Mike! That's the only YG Rolex reference I can see you acquiring that can give the 116718 a run!

Is it a Rolex??
Yellow = AP BumbleBee?
You said yellow but not yellow gold...
Maybe I'm being too literal
