Daydate40

Reference 228235

The watch that Masa purchased was the Rolex Day-Date 40, Ref. 228235, with its eye-catching olive green dial.

The Rolex Day-Date is a top-of-the-line model that is only available in rare materials such as gold and platinum. This is the 18K EVEROSE GOLD version of the Day-Date 40, released in 2015, and features a fluted bezel, a sunburst finish, and a deep olive green dial.

COMMENTS
The solid gold Day-Date model exudes a real vibe when worn casually by a man with a more mature and sophisticated look. When I see the way Masa wears it, I can't imagine imitating it even if I wanted to. The Day-Date is a perfect match for a casual style, and it's really cool! I'm also impressed by the numerous collections he has owned, starting with his first Omega Speedmaster, which he bought at the age of 24. Masa has experience with a variety of models, so he chose this Day-Date...I can understand his sense! Thank you for your comments on the YouTube live stream!

WATCH DETAILS

A-Lange and Sohne

Lange 1 Moon phase

Reference 109.032

The watch that the tall man purchased was the A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Moon Phase, a representative example of elegant dress watches.

The striking offset dial of the Lange 1 has a well-balanced arrangement of the calendar, power reserve, and small seconds, with no overlapping of the hands and functions. The beauty of the in-house movement "Cal.901.5", which can be seen through the skeleton back, is beyond words. In particular, the "Glashütte stripe finish" on the 3/4 plate that covers three-quarters of the movement is a supreme masterpiece that combines a design that can be called a work of art with the highest level of high technical skill.

COMMENTS
The dial design of the Lange 1, which is composed of the golden ratio, can be summed up in one word: beautiful. I'm sure that the "Daddy Long Legs" in the fairy tale would also be wearing a wonderful watch like this model. Maybe it really is a Lange 1 (lol). And congratulations to the winner of the "CTG Vol. 7" giveaway! The Waren Fauss body bag is convenient for everyday use, so please use it every day! It suits you well!

This is an extremely popular semi-vintage model equipped with the movement "Cal. 4030" based on Zenith's "El Primero". This watch is in good overall condition with no noticeable scratches and the edges of the case lugs are well-standing. Although it did not come with a warranty, it was an attractive piece with a white dial made of Tritinova.

COMMENTS
HY-san purchased this watch with the intention of wearing it with a suit for work. Thank you so much for adding this to your current lineup of three Rolexes and three Grand Seikos! I was very impressed when I heard that you were a fan of Rolex and Grand Seiko. It once again showed me that they are good partners for businessmen, and I think they have shown me what a businessman should be like! HY-san, please spread the word to businessmen out there who still don't know the appeal of luxury watches! (laughs)

WATCH DETAILS

Rolex

Explorer I

Reference 14270

The watch that Mr. T purchased was the Rolex Explorer I, Ref. 14270, which continues to reign as the ultimate simple watch.

Produced from the E series to the P series (from around 1991 to 2000), this is the ultimate in simple watches with no date display, only black dials, and only stainless steel case materials, making it a popular classic model among semi-vintage watches.

COMMENTS
First, the "Ref. 14270" coordinated with a Chrome Hearts T-shirt and necklace. It's wonderful! It goes without saying that they go well together, and the simple black face and small size make a wonderful combination. Satoda, who was in charge of customer service, told me about the "Datejust" he bought when he was 19 years old, before the consumption tax was introduced, and the "Explorer II" "Ref. 16570" that he has a special attachment to, and I couldn't help but listen. An important watch is truly priceless. I understand that feeling very well! Next, you are looking for a dress-like watch such as the "Reverso" by [Jaeger-LeCoultre] or the "Calatrava" by [Patek Philippe], so please consult Satoda first. Of course, all the other staff will do their best to support you!
summary

That's all, what do you think?

The customers' watch selections show their love and dedication to the watch, and it touches my heart every time. Thank you so much to everyone who cooperated and appeared on the show! All the staff are very happy that everyone purchased a watch.
