The first watch we would like to introduce is the extremely popular Rolex Daytona Ref. 116520 with a white dial, purchased by Michika, a woman appearing in the Watch Enthusiast Series for the first time.
The "Ref. 116520" inherits the design of its predecessor, the "Ref. 16520," but has been improved in every detail, including a revised in-dial layout and larger indexes due to the change in the movement.
This watch has a good case and bracelet. It's a watch you'll want to wear on your days off.

Explorer I
Reference 1016
The watch that KM purchased was his own birth year watch, a vintage Rolex Explorer I Ref. 1016, which is filled with special meaning.
This long-selling model was manufactured from 1963 to 1989, and several detail changes were made during its 20-year production run. The model chosen this time was an R-series model, which is a later model year. There is also an E-series model, which was produced in extremely limited numbers, but the R and L-series models are popular models from years when production was nearing the end of its life.
The photo shows him wearing a Daytona Ref. 16520 with a leather strap, enjoying his watch life. This is an overwhelmingly popular semi-vintage model equipped with the Cal. 4030 movement based on Zenith's El Primero.

Explorer I

The watch that Miyamoto purchased was a Rolex Explorer I, Ref. 1016.
This is a watch manufactured around 1968 with an MK5 dial. (Originally, the MK1 dial was called "Frogfoot" due to its age.) Usually, it is replaced with a service dial, but the MK5 dial is very attractive, and with the fat font style 3, 6, and 9 indexes, it is highly rated! The overall condition of the watch, including the dial, was very good.

The watch that Yoshi purchased was the Rolex GMT-Master II "Ref. 116713LN," which has a stainless steel/yellow gold combination that exudes a mature sexiness.
This model has been significantly renewed from the previous model "Ref.16713", and is equipped with larger indexes for improved visibility, a Parachrom hairspring with excellent magnetic resistance, and a sturdy case and bracelet, making it a model that combines functionality and durability. There is a high possibility that the price will rise, especially for older models, so it is definitely a watch you should get your hands on now.

Submariner
Reference 16610LV
The watch that KS purchased is the green Rolex Submariner Ref. 16610LV, which is currently on special offer at CTG Vol. 7.
This model, which was born in 2003 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Submariner, is affectionately known as the Green Sub, and is a very popular model that uses Rolex's corporate color green for the bezel color. The indexes and hands are larger than those of the Ref. 16610, which was produced at the same time, and visibility has been greatly improved.
This is one of the earliest MK1 models, known as the "Lime Bezel" with a pale green bezel, the "Fat 4" with a trapezoidal 4 on the bezel, and the "Big Swiss" with a large SWISS MADE notation at the 6 o'clock position on the dial.
