Thanks to everyone for the input. It is useful to know that the watch is in the range that would be expected to show this patina over time. I very much like the dial colour and it will be interesting...

Morning all,
Having owned a 2004 F series 116520 Daytona for around 5/6 years it was pointed out by a fellow watch enthusiast that the dial on my watch was closer to a light cream than the white...
I recently purchased a 42mm White face PAM00906 from Peter on the forum and have finally found a PAM that I can wear daily. I know the 42mm is not the classic proportion associated with the brand but...
I roll in at a lowly 20 over time and 5 in current collection.... but will use this thread to show the other half that what she thinks is madness is actually very reasonable ;)
I can remember my first visit to Northern Goldsmiths in Newcastle, a multitude of stock and discounts hinted at on SS Sports, how times have changed!
Made that exact transition in reverse, from the diver on a steel bracelet to a ceramic sub.
Both are beautiful watches and a pleasure to own. In my opinion the AP is a league ahead in terms of...
I had this discussion with my broker last year regarding a 116520, I was asked to have a valuation done by a qualified jeweler or valuer and the watch was insured at the market value rather than...
Good afternoon!
Many thanks for everyone's input. I think the only way I'm going to know is as suggested, take a closer look at the Lume. Either way it seems unlikely that it is the original dial...
Forgive my ignorance but a 'washed dial? Does this refer to when the lume coating has been removed?

This was my thought. I know the service dials were latterly made with Superluminova so that might explain it!

Evening all,
I have been considering buying a 1675 GMT that has become avaliable. The seller seems pleasant and knowledge but there is one aspect I'm struggling with. The dial on the watch shows...
Also very nice Nadeem!

Have you had a look at the 116138 Datejust. I really enjoy mine and have not seen another in 'the wild'. There are a few around on chrono24 and prices seem OK compared to some!...
I had one of these for a couple of years and it was a great watch, worked on a day to day and still looked smart when needed. It was missed for sometime after trading...
Great review and a big...
Not a looker, but I'm sure the lure of Ltd edition and 007 will see them sold out in no time! [emoji16]

Milgauss is great fun! Congratulations!

It was by far and away the most 'fun' of the watches in the display, which included the full line up of Nautilus, Aquanaught etc.
One thing I did note was the reduction in the variants of the...
Had the chance to try on of these on at the traveling Patek roadshow that came to Berry's in Newcastle.
I really liked the watch (apart from the strap, which I think should be a Croc). The...
I would throw the Rolex 116138 into the conversation. I hadn't heard of one until I bought one (Gold face variant) and have really taken to it especially on the brown Croc strap. I'm no good with...
Moring All,
I need to hold my hands up to an egregious error in typing my first post! The watch is indeed a Datejust and not a Daydate. It was sold as such and the error came from my head being...
Dear Milton,
Thank you for the response and I agree any such 'custom' bezel should be pointed out in a far more obvious way.
To give an update. The watch was purchased at a further discount and...
That would be the plan and I would get a certificate from them. It is a very tempting deal but as we all know if something is too good to be true!

Afternoon all,
Have a dilemma regarding a potential purchase. I have seen the exactly model daydate that I have been after for some time in the window of the local H T pawnbrokers. Condition...
