Totally agree with you re the satisfaction comment, that’s why I keep coming back to Rolex.

I guess the surprise to me was based on the fact that your tastes lean heavily towards the classic (from what I see). And so while the President is not such an odd choice, it’s more in line with that classic taste than a Sub for sure, I thought for sure you’d be looking at the classic 36mm. All said the one you have identified is one of the most interesting DD in production I think.
Re the Zeitwerk the first obstacle is size. I had a Dato Up/Down for several years and while the dimensions are not too different the ZW wears much bigger because of the case shape / design and how that sits on the wrist and how the dial looks. But it was my first real strong Lange love and that’s why I keep coming back.
The Frog is as you say just super fun. There’s nothing quite like it. I just don’t know if it’s too much, but I feel if one needs to scratch the MB&F itch then HM is the way to go (versus LM).

Do you have watches you keep trying on? Have you made any of these part of your collection? Any that haven't made it yet? I made it to a boutique to keep the ritual alive! Here is the specific dial and metal of Day-Date 40mm I keep coming back to. 2021 wi...

I gave in last year, 2019, and bought 1. It's part of my daily rotation. I think if you bought it earlier, you get more discount? My AD does not discount much with Rolex whereas before I remember they do for not fast moving items.
I'm glad you like it!

I think you're right that discounts were higher before.

I would not have suspected the DD to be on your list.

But it’s a looker for sure. I’ve been eyeing a HM3 Frog for several years. But it’s not exactly something I can see with any regularity. In terms of pieces that one can actually see and get on the wrist I would say I’ve tried the WG Zeitwerk on at least a...
Very Tempting!

I love guilloché and this is oddly the closest to that in a Rolex for me.
