How’s it look?!

Toying with the idea of getting back into a PM sub. Foolishly sold a white gold smurf a few years back, but this time it’s the yellow gold and sunburst dial singing to me.

Would need to unload a few of the current collection towards one. Thinking SD4k and the Trilogy Speedy.

Thoughts? Tried it on, again, to make sure it sings. Two different days at the AD in the photos attached.

Who am I to say no.. Your giving up a couple nice ones and I'm more of a WG fan for my wrist but yes it does look pretty strong. That's one HD piece and a Beauty for sure. All in all it sounds like a good move and a good match with your Aquanaut.

Truth!

It’s definitely a statement piece. My aquanaut flies under most radar unless you’re into watches and have a keen eye. The Daytona is also YG but is toned down with the oyster flex. Oh boy...keep you all posted!

This one gets more wrist time than all others combined. I stare at that dial incessantly.

I think you need to get it looks amazing.

I’ve owned a lot of watches, some more expensive than this, and i still always look at this. I will get this watch on day and I think it’ll stay with me forever.

I would never sell the SD43 + Omega Trilogy for this one. Maybe Smurf, but not this one.

Me neither

Both those watches are VERY unique and incredible pieces for both brands.

You are lucky to own them and if there is some other watches you could unload id do that.

In terms of the watch. It’s stunning and looks amazing and fits you very well.

18k Sub essential for any collection. I have a pre-ceramic 16618, dial is basically purple, flat 4 bezel with tritium.

By far the most beautiful watch I’ve ever owned. Surprisingly, it is more versatile than you would think.
