WATCH DETAILS

The items purchased by MS were: The Rolex Day-Date Ref. 18389G features a rare champagne gold computer dial.
The combination of the 18K white gold case and the President bracelet exclusively for the Day-Date model creates an elegant and luxurious atmosphere. The dial is decorated with a very rare champagne gold computer pattern, and the bezel is set with diamonds, making this a special piece.
The movement has been upgraded from the conventional "Cal.3055" to "Cal.3155", and the balance has been improved from a single bridge system that supports the balance on one side to a twin bridge system that supports the balance on both sides. This provides excellent stability and ease of maintenance.

The borderless luminous indexes and plastic crystal further enhance the vintage feel, and the combination of the faded fat font insert and the Jubilee bracelet is a perfect match, creating a unique atmosphere.
STAFF COMMENTS
Thank you very much, Mr. N, for not only purchasing this watch, but also appearing on YouTube. Mr. N is very fashionable and his clothes are very cool, so I have been hoping for this opportunity to have him appear on YouTube. His hobby is riding vintage Harleys, and it seems that watches are a never-ending topic of conversation among his touring companions.
Mr. N himself is a watch lover and owns several watches, so there were many moments of empathy while listening to his story. The red lining of the denim jacket he was wearing that day and the red and blue bezel of the "Ref. 1675" were a perfect match, which left a strong impression on me. Furthermore, the combination with his accessories was sophisticated, and I couldn't help but take my hat off to Mr. N's good taste.
Although you will only wear it on your days off, we hope that the "1675" you purchased will become your "partner" that will enrich your days off in the future. If you are in the area again, please stop by Commit Ginza. Thank you for your continued support.

The item purchased by MY is, The Milgauss is the only antimagnetic watch from Rolex, designed to meet the needs of engineers and scientists. "Ref.116400GV".
This is the only anniversary model from Rolex that uses a green sapphire crystal, and is a unique model that combines unique design and chemistry. In 2007, about 20 years after production ended, the legendary "lightning hand" used in the early "Milgauss" was revived, transforming the face into one that is nostalgic for Rolex enthusiasts and new for modern users. Unfortunately, it was discontinued in 2023, but it is a watch to keep an eye on in the secondary market.
STAFF COMMENTS
Dear MY, thank you very much for your purchase. While there were other brands of watches that caught your eye, you considered the Milgauss, and after deciding between the white and Z Blue, you chose the Z Blue because of its beautiful color. The vivid blue of this model is striking, but it doesn't stand out too much, so it's sure to be a great watch for work.
We are very happy to hear that you are very satisfied with this model that you cannot buy at an official store. We also thank you very much for willingly agreeing to appear in the "Enthusiast Series". We hope you will appear "in person" next time! Haha. If you come across another watch that interests you in the future, please come to Commit Ginza. We look forward to seeing you again.
