What is the best looking PM watch?

In the market for a new precious metal watch. Have the 116618. Looking for a another one. Can you give me some ideas about what you think is the best looking and show some pics? Thanks

116618lb... I also really like the Daytona oysterflex, but I think it wears very small.

Day Date. It would also be a good complement to your existing piece. These are my favorite combos.

So many great choices/complimentary pieces for your Sub. Besides the Sub, do you have any others in the collection?

I’ll admit, I didn’t like it.

But I stopped noticing it almost immediately. And then I realized fir some reason I prefer it.

I can’t get this watch out of my head.

I believe this is an end-game piece for me. I love everything about it. Weight, the subtle diamond bling, the brown cerachrome with the ice blue......everything.

My AD gave me an opportunity I could not pass up. So I sold off something else.

I’ve had it before, and moved it to free up cash for something else. But I just can’t get it off the brain, so I’m patiently waiting for it to arrive.

Very exciting

Congrats.

I think it has an almost mesmerising quality. From the RG clasp, to the black OF, next up is the RG bezel rim, black bezel insert, RG rehaut, black dial, RG hands and hour markers. Perfect contrast. The only thing I’d change would be the red dial text.

I wish it didn’t say Yacht Master.

Truly, that’s my biggest gripe. And the reason I got rid of it. I mean, I kind of hate boats... or at least I hate being on them.

But I just about never regret flipping a watch. This one, I just need to have in my small collection.

The matte black with the RG is gorgeous. And I’ve always loved rubber.

I’ll be keeping this one for the long haul.

i struggle with that too... to be honest "Daytona" on a watch isnt a big selling point with me either. I cant stand NASCAR or boats. I like both watches though but its a factor in why i dont have either im pretty sure.
