That does happen with some my friend.

There are many watches which left me somewhat cold on launch but then after a little time to digest and handle they became must haves for me. I do think watches can be very different in the flash. I do have to say though that being a die hard daytona fan and having always fancied a DD with ice blue dial this 50th Anniversary Daytona was love at first sight for me. I just thought the use of platinum the ice blue dial and hazelnut brown was absolutely genius and works so very well. This is why I’m not a fan of the gem versions which don’t have the brown detail on. Completely changes the look for me. As you may know I am fairly shallow and have always let my eyes and heart make my decisions for me.
With regard to the 5070p my friend I truly wish you had managed to secure one of these as a more deserving owner than you I can’t imagine. You never know my friend things can happen.
Thank you for the comments.
M.

I always wanted a blue dial submariner. I loved the bi metal submariner at first but then as the years went on I found myself drawn to the solid gold transitional model 16808 with its vintage style Nipple dial. Ever since those days I have been a sucker f...

For different occasions but all have the blue dial in common. Thank you. M.

Yes, I know the feeling. Blue dials are popular and beautiful and a few have found their way in my collection too. Thanks for sharing.

That’s good to hear.

Something perpetually simple

...of the Irish green kind. I should be getting hold of it tomorrow

Well, for me, here, I see two killers, the Daytona platinum and the 5970P.

The Daytona platinum, this is funny... I hated it when I saw the first official photos, then I totally changed my mind when I saw it in real... As for the 5070P, well, it was love at first sight, but never could grab it when it was for sale. Lucky you. Gr...

For me there are not many submariners which mean as much as this one does. It symbolises so many things and stages in my life for me. The fairly rare transitional 16808 with its nipples ticks lots of boxes. Thank you for your comment. M.

Spectacular collection. "Blue Sky Collection"

Very cool blues you have there Bill.

Well done and your love of blue is obvious. Enjoy. M.
