Great watch - why the quotes around luxury? Despite what others may think, $4k on a watch is definitely luxury. Hope you enjoy for years to come :)

Such a good watch! Currently my only watch is a BB58 blue. I’ve had a number of Rolex and Omega watches over the years including the 14060 and 114060 Subs. I’m amazed at how much I loved the BB58 the first time I put it on and months later I still feel the same.

It has the classic charm of the 5 digit era Rolex available at an amazing price for what you get.

Im on the list for a 124060 but I’m honestly not sure I’d prefer it over the BB58 for daily wear…I’d miss that matte bezel, boxed crystal, and lug chamfers.

Thank you. I guess I put the quotes as a cop-out in case it didn't fall under the generally accepted definition. Thank you for addressing, you have a great point.
