Waaaayyyyy too cluttered for my taste, but the 1st is way nicer IMO.
Thing about wearing gold watches though, the gold doesn’t take the abuse of a simple stainless band.

Its seems that everyone likes #1 or #2. I should of made a poll :lol:
I already have a Rolex Daytona. the band broke and I never bothered replacing it. Now I cant even find it. its somewhere in the house.
I also have my Father’s Russian Army Watch. He got it when he was in the Red Army.
for those who are telling me to get Movado or sieko…etc…please post watch models.

You have a $12,000 watch sitting around somewhere and you’re looking at a citizen?
