people would be pretty enthusiastic about the vintage Daytona, or the Tudor, or that nice early Patek auto.


But last night there was a sudden silence around the table when the Sky Dweller appeared from insides its green pouch. It is one very serious chunk of solid yellow gold.

Not quite my cup of tea, but quite an impressive watch all the same, and nice to see Rolex trying their hand at something a little more complicated.

Until next time.

That sky dweller is a " hunka hunka yellow metal" may not be everyones cup of tea but a new radical movement from Rolex Julian

Mechanically speaking, I agree with you.
