 Apeogre, yes, I have quite a few Rolexes. (Thanks for the covering fire, Graham;)). I will PM you what I have been posting. Today, I posted a Daytona. I also have Rolex his/hers models that I haven't posted yet. Rolex was the brand that launched me into collecting watches about 16/17 years ago.

The DSSD is at a price point that I can't seem to reconcile with but then again, price/value are all relative. For example, the Patek World Time, with its elegance and time zone simplicity is at a price point about 5 times the DSSD and yet doesn't have as many features as the DSSD. The Seiko Pepsi (009) for example is so much watch for so little money and is way up there for relative quality and value but yet, like many of us, I may just wear it just about 2x or 3x a year.subtlelaugh.gif Simply put, it lacks wrist presence, in my opinion.

On the topic of big watches, I agree with Graham and Mark. We should really be wearing the big watches because we want to. In a post I contributed to sometime back, I opined that the big watches (north of 40mm) will have a category of their own in the years to come. There will be a big watch category as there are divers, GMTs, chronos, pilots etc;)
