This model, released in 2019, inherits the Grand Tapisserie pattern black dial from its predecessor, but the thicker indexes improve visibility.

The so-called "Cream Daytona" model, which is available in the P, K, Y, and F numbers, is a model that has risen in popularity in recent years. It is said that the color of the dial changes to cream because a coloring agent that changes color over time is used to color the dial when it is made.

The watch purchased by watanbyh was a meter-first Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513.
This is a long-selling model that was manufactured from around 1963 to around 1990, and one of its great attractions is the difference in specifications that has been achieved through minor changes. The water resistance reading at the 6 o'clock position is written in the order of meters and feet (ft), commonly known as "meter first," and this has made it an extremely popular model in high demand.

VACHERON CONSTANTIN
OVERSEAS CHRONOGRAPH
Reference 5500V/110A-B481
The watch that MASA purchased is the popular Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph Ref. 5500V/110A-B481, a model that has an elegant yet casual feel.
Released in 2016 as the third generation chronograph model, this model is the first Overseas model to feature a see-through case back, allowing you to view the in-house movement, Cal. 5200, which took about five years to develop and has been awarded the Geneva Seal. The case diameter of 42.5mm is impressive, but the well-balanced design, including the three-counter sub-dial, gives it a sleek impression. The watch is equipped with an "interchangeable system" that allows you to change the strap with one touch without using tools, making it easy to change to a stainless steel bracelet, alligator strap, or rubber strap depending on the situation or season.
