Rolex worn by Yoshi
"Daytona" Meteorite Dial "Ref.116519"

The beautiful meteorite dial and red hands are accents of this elegant and sporty watch. The movement is the self-developed and manufactured automatic movement "Cal. 4130" that has been in continuous use since 2000.

The Daytona that Yoshi bought was in very good condition with sharp bezel edges and no polishing. The unique meteorite dial has a cool stone pattern!

The jacket and pants style, with its earthy tones, matches the texture of the dial and the brown of the leather strap very well. This is definitely a look you should try.

Rolex worn by Atsunobu Kawabata
Explorer II
"Ref.16550"

The second generation Explorer II "Ref. 16550" has an exceptionally cool tritium luminous finish. It's hard to find a 5-digit model with a black dial that has been lit up to this extent.

This is a so-called "center split" chronometer, where the space between the words "SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER" on the top line and "OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED" on the bottom line is aligned. Furthermore, if you look closely at the surface of the dial, you will see that it is a "spider dial" with spider web-like cracks, making this a truly outstanding piece.

Kawabata's chic outfit is teamed with this semi-vintage piece, which combines the opposing elements of modern and classic tastes in a style that is truly sophisticated.

Rolex worn by MC
"Green Submariner"
"Ref.116610LV"

Popularly nicknamed "The Incredible Hulk" by Marvel fans, this Submariner with its green bezel and dial exudes a fantastic aura.

This is the next model of the "Ref. 16610LV" released in 2003 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the birth of the "Submariner", and its bold design that makes full use of Rolex's brand colors has an unparalleled appeal. Since production ended in 2020, the price of this model has risen even higher in the secondary market.

MC-san, the first watch you bought was the Submariner Ref. 114060, and I can understand the desire to collect it! If you like the Submariner, you'll naturally want to own a Green Sub. Thank you for your comment in the survey that the deciding factor for your purchase was "all the staff!" I'm very happy to hear such words, as it is the greatest reward for a salesperson.

Worn by Drum
[Tudor]
Black Bay
"Ref.79030B"

The Black Bay, with its beautiful blue dial, is a versatile watch that can be worn both on and off the job.

This is a 2020 model that was reissued based on the "Ref. 7924" "Submariner Big Crown" released in 1958. The bezel and dial have a vivid blue color, and the moderate size of 39mm is popular. The stainless steel bracelet is also very cool, but you can also enjoy fashion by replacing it with a fabric bracelet of the same color for early spring.

It goes perfectly with Mr. Drum's knitwear! On your days off, spend a relaxing holiday wearing this Black Bay Blue. Mr. Drum, who uses it for both work and leisure, is the epitome of a watch lover!

J-san wears [Audemars Piguet]
『Royal Oak』
"Ref.67650ST.OO.1261ST.01"

The Royal Oak was designed by the genius watch designer Gerald Genta. It has a unique presence.

This is a very cool watch with a traditional octagonal case, the symbol of Audemars Piguet, and a black dial with a Grande Tapisserie pattern. This model is also equipped with a quartz movement, which is rare, and has a slightly smaller case diameter of 33mm, making it easy to use.

I'm impressed with the choice of J, a man in his 20s. Not only does he stand out from the crowd, he also wears the Royal Oak, which is something few people wear... it's so cool! Please continue to take good care of it.
