@Mizmazzle I did! Pretty amazing releases this year from Rolex. I've gotten so used to it being underwhelming... I've previously tried on the 39mm version and found it to be a touch to big for my wrist (6.75 inch) so I'm very happy with the classic 36mm size. But it's a great option for those with much larger wrists or someone who likes a bigger watch. Often the 39mm/40mm Rolex's wear a lot bigger than your average watch of the same size in my opinion. Having said that I LOVE the new Yacht Master (never thought I'd find myself be typing those words) if they do that in a 40mm I'd like that a lot. Are you in the market for an Explorer?

@Mr-Linz funny you should say that about the yacht mater. I think the new one looks pretty cool. I’m not a fan personally of titanium. I like my watches to have some heft. I am, however, in love with the blue dial red handed yacht master 40. I think that one is absolutely stunning.

@Graeme I could sell a kidney and still be attempting.

@Anesthetist hey buddy. Happened into my local AD to pick up my wedding band yesterday. They had an Explorer 39. Could be love!!! Think I’d really like that extra 1mm haha.
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

@Mizmazzle Do it!!!
@Crease that Rolex is amazing. Is the inner ring/disc a GMT feature?

It’s a SkyDweller - believe that is a GMT feature, so second zone is showing 18.15ish based on the red triangle at the top.
It also has an annual calendar feature - there’s a red marker at the outer edge of the number 3 masked by the date window (cyclops), showing the month - so 29th March.
I was discussing these with the dealer today - due to the above features it has several hundred parts (twice as many as the Submariner Date I was trying), and thick with it.
Current waiting times is in years, assuming you can get on a list (dealer estimated up to 7 years for the new Daytonas!).
Damned nice watch though @Crease

The SkyDweller is also one of the only watch to use the bezel as a setting mechanism IIRC.
I believe IWC has a watch that does something similar.

The IWC Timezoner uses its bezel to select which timezone is being displayed. I think thay the Skydweller's is used to select functions.
I'm up in Sydney for the weekend, and when I was in the Jaeger LeCoultre boutique, I mentioned that I liked their new Reverso Chronograph.
By some weird coincidence, they had a prototype in...
The skeletonised chronograph face is as gorgeous as it looks in the photos, but I wasn't allowed to take any pictures because it's a pre-production piece. The case is a bit fatter than other Reversos, but not too chunky.
I liked it a lot, though I did tell the dealer they should do it in burgundy.
