All this mewling about who's going to play an imaginary sociopath just goes to show that mediocre white guys are the most sensitive bunch of pussies ever. :)

Pre-Swatch-Group. ;)
Holy crap. You man-jewellery fanciers sure are touchy about your precious make-believe spy-story man, huh? :P
The other brands around Rolex’s price level certainly wish it was. ;)
I used to think so too, but now it’s pretty much a case of not liking a watch without a Cyclops. ;)
Perhaps they’re considered unfashionable by some online watch nerds, but in real life, bi-metal Daytonæ can look great.
...
I used to think so too, but now I find that a contrasting colour date looks better in many cases. And I'd far rather have a plain white background than a close-but-not-quite match to the dial colour....
Yes, definitely worth noting that it's going to cost a lot more to keep the AP running than the Submariner.
I do like the 15703, but I wouldn't part with my 2003 LV to get one. The slimmer Sub is...
Yes, it’s just that if you’re already prepared to spend ten kilopounds on a fancy gold sports chronograph, then an extra few to get the best of the breed might not be a complete dealbreaker....
True, but there have been a few 18K-on-strap examples sold recently for under $15K USD, which isn’t that far off £10K.
Agreed — completely beautiful. That's a very appealing watch, and one with an identity of its own.
£10K can get you pretty close to a 16518 or 116518 (18K Daytona on strap) if you're patient.
I'd go for one of those if you want a top-grade chronograph with a very conservatively-rated 100 metres...
I had these three, and kept only the 356 UTC.

The 856 is a well-made watch that's definitely better than most of the other...
Indeed.
Given how superior their watches are to the rest of the field, it's no wonder that demand is so strong. Any other company would have massively jacked up the prices long ago under these...
This is the correct answer. Omega's at their best when they come up with something distinctive that doesn't look like it's trying too hard. :)
The 3235 is already in the two-tone versions (along with a redesigned case profile), so the steel model won't be far behind. Yes, I also think the classic 36 mm option works better on most wrists...
Perfect size. :eagerness:

Nice one!
There’s nothing you need to add, but if you do, it could be time for a Rolex. :)
True that it’s quite costly (though worth it) when bought brand-new, but the Datejust is arguably the best buy there is on the secondary market for a high-grade watch, especially considering that...
The 36 mm DJ is getting overdue for the new movement, so I don’t think you’ll have to wait too much longer.
On the other hand, the 3135 is still way ahead of what the rest of the industry is...
It’s more than a tad dodgy; the thing is an obvious fake.
If you don't want Rolex's perfected date function for some reason, it's the watch to have. (Though I prefer the 16610.)
Good photos in this thread, by the way. :)
Well, he’s not the one trying to jack up the selling price of his used watch through an unlicensed gambling operation — just sayin’. :dontknow:
Great reply.
I know exactly what you mean about the white 116520, though in my case I got my black-subdial-ring fix with the 16520 over the ceramic for its brushed lugs and old-school...
Many ways to do them, and they’re all good in my experience. It’s pretty much impossible to screw up ribs using SV.
Here’s the best guide I’ve come across, and it does an excellent job of showing...
