There is a lot to love with the Day Date. Particularly the original (36mm) size and a white metal. It’s a pretty durable and versatile watch.
And for sure it remains the forgotten watch (at least in 36mm, the 40mm is almost as difficult as a Submariner to find depending on dial/case combination).

I’m watching the “luxury” sport steel watch market inflate into an odd bubble, that like most bubbles appears to receive its air from hype. When I purchased my Nautili (Nautiluses?) and AP Jumbo, these used to sit in dealers' cases and were regularly disc...

Rolex Watch. Monobloc case. Check (AP Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus have 2-3 part cases) Screw down crown (Royal Oak doesn't have this, but most Nautilus models do). Check. No exposed rubber gaskets (improved water resistance). Check. Nautilus and...
Good comparison.

I might add that RO and Nautilus have somewhat delicate movements, whereas Rolex movements are arguably among the most robust in the market. A consideration not to be overlooked when it comes to "sports" watches!
You should try out a DD 36mm platinum.

There is something really satisfying about the weight, and the fit and finish are excellent. That said, not everyone may like the design and how the watch looks on the wrist.
