Not sure if one is already going but all other rolexes get an appreciation thread expect the 1016. It’s such a classy watch.. here is one I just purchased. Love all versions of this watch.. I have another waiting to be built. What I love about the tropic dial is the color changing depending on the light.. post your 1016! I want to see them!

Looks like a folded link bracelet on that. 7836 maybe??? Nice. Is that gen? Or is there a source for a good rep of that?
