I'm very happy with my Zenith El Primero Rainbow from the same period as this Rolex. It looks almost exactly the same as the Rolex, but is a high beat with date function and costs a fraction of the price (maybe 10%).
Thanks Tim, great review as always. How long do the lateral clutches last before needing service and how are they serviced? Do they require a full replacement?
Bad because it's a tritium 20/30 year old watch, tritium has a 12.5 years half life, meaning that it doesnt light by itself anymore and if you charge it under UV it doesn't last long! :)
I was shocked when I got my GMT master II which has the maxxi case and it looked and felt so much bigger than my Daytona, in my mind I was like there is no way both of these watches are 40mm, I know the maxxi case makes the watch look and wear more like a 42 and it definitely does, but the difference between the maxxi case and a daytona case is HUGE.
Absolutely stunning in real life

@@realslimshaco8550 Thanks! Super luminova is the way to go.
Why Rolex keep insisting that these are 40mm when they are in fact 38.5mm
“marketing”
