6263 Daytona, every time :)

 

For me it has got to be the 1680 Red. Such a classic. This is my Cartel V2 with WSO aged insert, Cartel Pearl, and Bulang and Sons strap.

Thank you :)

I do like your watch collection too Rich ^^ it's impressive!

 

To OP - there's many vintages out there which deserve love... Subs or GMTs, you can't really go wrong with the classic :)

There are plenty of very talented individuals on here that will take your money and convert it into a nice little vintage project for you. If I had to choose, my blueberry gets the most wrist time.

its a beautiful pick up Mike, the matching lumed hands to the dial is gorgeous, the insert is beautifully aged as well.

 

I only just recently saw that stonep just got into making vintage gmts and subs... will be on a lookout for some...

Was the first watch I ever picked up from a TD (Andrew @ TT) funnily enough. Was in rotation for about 6 months before I discovered JJ's work so off it went.

Good to know that you are a vintage man Mike!
