Black is Black!!

According to the chapter "Light & Colours" in Physics, BLACK is NOT a colour. In fact, it has been described as negation of all colour...which also means that if you don't see any colour, then you're seeing BLACK!!

Silly as this may sound, it's the absolute truth. Question here is which watch has the most attractive BLACK dial? A dial which radiates sheer beauty in all its dark glory, a dial which screams out at you and says: "Hey, I'm the blackest of the blackest out there!! Pick me, fella, and I'll show you BLACK like there's no tomorrow...a total absence of all colour....BLACK which would make even Black Beauty pale by comparison."

Personally, I think I've sighted such a dial and I would buy it hands down if only I could afford it!!

In all seriousness, guys, I think this baby screams out BLACK like no other dial I've ever seen... What a superb looking and stunning watch!!

Rolex employs the worlds greatest marketing geniuses, of that I’m sure now. Take a normal dial and date disc, change one line to green and the numbers on the disc to green as well (paint cost: 1 penny per dial) and presto: people are scrambling to buy those watches at a $1000 premium. Pure genius! In the year I bought my Sub, I wrote Rolex a letter with a proposition for the 50th anniversary Sub. (A remake of the first model with a modern movement). I never received an answer but look what they did, pure genius.


Take care,


Frans.

P.S. That gold is a little ‘in the face’, don’t you think? I imagine a blue, solid gold Sub sometimes. But, as I said before, this MUST be worn on a big yacht in the Mediterranean. We also have lotteries with huge prizes. For example the Postcode Lottery. Last month the jackpot was 20 million Euro. Saint-Tropez, here I come!

Since it is quite obvious what my choice would be, I won't bore anyone with a picture of the all black SS GMT-II.
