    Not keen on the date cyclops, can you get these without the cyclops.

    I love the colour combinations, bold without being fashion/chav.

    Great moody pics, but I'm especially impressed that the watch is so clean - not a speck of dust or thumbprint in sight.

    Do you want to come round and prep my watches for me before I take any more photos :D

    Oh yes. Besides that, it has a quite rare and nearly perfect chocolate dial without nipples. From the collector's point of view.

    Thanks (to all of you). There's one more to come.

    Great shots of an unusual GMT and yes I do like it.

    Don't know if I'd have the cojones to sport one on the outside of the cuff though, but hey if it the watch was cool enough for Eastwood and the style comes from Agnelli then go for it :lol:

    Re: Understatement. By Rolex.

    I really like that watch on the Cordura strap.. definitely dresses it down somewhat. I slightly prefer the single colour bezels, but the brown face is just retro cool.

    Great photos by the way.

    Re: Understatement. By Rolex.

    Great looking watch, specially because of all the bits that others don't all appreciate (gold, jubilee, cyclops etc......) :)

    Re: Understatement. By Rolex.

    The root beer is great, however I would say that as I love NIPPLES



    And for those who poo poo tu-tone should give one a try ( and get a few straps for it as it provides a new watch each week).

    I've always been drawn to this version, tempted by two tone but the root beer and classic lines somehow tone it done to a classic look

    Agree 100% :D

    A bit like Superman's underkecks outside his strides :D

    Otherwise, the watch looks great and the jubilee bracelet suits it well.
