Glad you like it.

The MOP alone dial isnt rare for many Rolex models.

its the combo of the red rubies on mop on a first edition which makes this crazy super rare.

I dare say this is the only piece of first edition full solid gold Yachtmaster with the swiss-t<25 MOP red ruby dial (complete set) in Singapore.

For the second edition Yachtmaster which debuted after 1997, the MOP red rubies dial is not too rare.
 You can still find maybe 1 out of every 500 pieces

In future, i may put this piece up for auction.

Very unique

This is rhe most common white dial onyx marker 2nd edition YM

good value full solid gold watch which runs on 3135 caliber

but due to the distinct ugly case profile, it isnt well demanded nor popular especially in Asia.   Hence the lowest price amongst solid gold Rolexes

the first edition from 1992 to 1997 uses a Submariner case design and profile which is very much nicer and balanced looking

OK , Daydate is a beautiful Rolex.  

I had 10 daydates at one point.  have owned easily 30 Daydates over the years

Now left with 3.   All are ref 18238 with double quickset caliber 3155..

2 of them for sale.  Blue Lavender dial & Wood dial.. 

Want to buy , let me know.   superb condition and best price in town....

The Centrogordo, a very under rated Cuban cigar from the Factory of Vegueros.  

very clean tobacco taste. Smoke is creamy in texture and plentiful due to its excellent construction and ring 54 gauge.
 Flavor starts toasty and ends slightly floral with no bite. The aroma is woody with a hint of roasted chestnuts

the watch is an entry level, basic and fully reliable classic Oyster Perpetual ref 124300 with Rolex factory green dial

Enjoy the evening

Lavender is the darker blue right.

Not lapis lazuli?

can you send pics of both to me via pm, thanks!

Er…. No.

lavendar color is a result of the blue dial tropicalizing and turning into a purplish shade over decades

here you can see both pics.  No need to PM.  
 

colors are more vibrant and nicer in real life as always

Rolex Submariner Desk Clock Ref. 909010LN, anyone?

BTW, this US$10,270 time piece also has a long wait list hor...

Why not a GMT desk clock? Ehmmm

I prefer the lapis lazuli and malachite green versions.

The wood one is very nice too, quite tempted!

But if I have to buy one I can probably get just one, let me sit on it

[107fan]

But lapis lazuli and malachite green prone to "redial" and dial swapping.

I don't put fake badges or bodykits on my car either 🤣

So it is hard to find an authentic, factory original one in the market...

Lapis Lazuli Daydate and Green Malachite daydates will cost easily $60k upwards today.

Biggest issue i had owning stone dials is that they are quite prone to cracking.  and even servicing at RSC does not guarantee anything.

This is the key reason why Rolex choose to discontinue many stone dials since the late 80s.

Woods dials are really amazing as they are unique and they dont crack.

yup, there are tons of custom stone dials out there. 

I think my estimation of USD50-60k may be an underestimation today
