Great review that i enjoy reading and what an awesome watch you've got there!!

I love the Everose Daytona very much but the only thing that bothers me is that it's no date. I would certainly sell my Hulk if it has one.   

What's your daily beater going to be?

Idol idol...When i grow older, i want to be like you.  :Praying: :Cheers: :Cheers:

cant believe i re-read your review again for 2nd time, darn getting in love with it (which suppose i'm a anti-rolex guy :p )

the words that reminds myself ...

"Have you been to a shopping mall and you see a guy constantly staring at his watch, whilst his girlfriend is hell bent on touching every clothing in shop? Nope, he isn’t worried about the time, he’s most probably admiring his Rolex Daytona.  “Go ahead sweet heart”, he’s probably saying,” take your time. I’m admiring time myself”.

which is so true and it does apply to me like siao lang keep looking at the watch for no reason, i'm not actually looking at the time but the watch itself  ;D

i was regret for not able to enjoy your piece at the 4th GTG :(

lol i wasn't that into Rolex before this watch to be honest. But when i saw the dial and the whole watch in particular i was mesmerized.... 

Although i'm sure people wll say paying that much for a Rolex might be abit far fetch, but i like i said, i buy the watch for myself and not what other people perceive its value to be

very nice piece, if you get a chance to see one at a AD go for it

Wonderful review sir !! Really an eye opener to see a rolex with meteorites dial. truly a beautiful piece you got there  :thumbsup:

OUT OF THIS WORLD is the apt description for this beauty. I have had a Daytona and it was the SS white dial version. The meteor dial is most unique. The value of this watch will surely appreciate significantly when stocks run out. It is a wise investment in every sense (provided anybody is senseless to even sell such a beauty)  :HammerHead:

great review bro...for me, the most inspiring bit of your review was the 'advice section' you tried to instill in new WIS....totally agree with u on every single point u made there...buy a watch for yourself n it will b a keeper....n yes, there is something about rolex....even in the company of AP, PP, RM etc, a rolex will shine...at least in my opinion :)

Oh my! I can't believe i spent 20min reading ur entire 'article'! Very well written. Superb wrist shot of the dial beauty. Some Rolex really hav outstanding dial. Juz got a 16613 LB with the deep blue shimmering dial. Ur meteorite dial looks much more fantastic. My nxt target for sure (once my missus get her Channel la, if not bising)
