Supercase Rolex GMT v. Standard Case Daytona...

This is a fascinating comparison photo because it shows how much bigger the Supercase GMT body is compared to the Daytona. Both watches are 40mm but the GMT Ceramic in Yellow Gold has the Supercase which in to my eyes looks more macho and substantial.

I love the evolution of Rolex design language.  I really like the Maxi Markers, big crown guards, and fat hands.

It is amazing how many interesting and cool different looks you can achieve with Rolex watches if you are willing to experiment. I think this combination looks neat and very sporty.

Jake's Quote of the Day: Og Mandino on Kindness and Understanding..

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again. —Og Mandino

Magnificent Moonphase Triple Date Rolex...

The vintage Rolex Moonphase Reference 6062 is one of the rarest and most collectable Rolex watches. This Triple date beauty is unusual in several ways which makes it extremely rare. 

First it has blue date numbers around the edge of the bezel. Secondly it has star indices which is really cool. It has the "Officially Certified Chronometer" designation below the moonphase. Most unusual is that it is a stainless steel watch with yellow gold dauphine hands and matching indices, making the watch a two-tone of sorts.

The design of the Rolex Reference is so timeless and classic. I wish Rolex would bring this beauty back to life in 40mm.
