Just going through life like everyone else :)
So which Rolex did I buy. What else did I consider ….
I got into detail about my recent watch purge and what I have selected as ‘The One’ at least for now.
Why I like this watch and my plans behind maximising the joy with it.

LMAO this came up on my feed
Classic
I bought a Rolex 16610 in 2005. Been wearing it almost everyday since. Kinda getting tired of Rolex. Thins is what drew me to this channel
IDK…Leaving factory stickers on one’s Rolex eventually leaves the watch looking like a beautiful woman with a peeling sunburn on her shoulders and forehead… Adding aftermarket stickers…..well….. something in me thinks that’s a new soul vs old soul argument. These things ( cars, watches, leather goods and clothing ect ) are meant to be used and given a life by using them during your own.
Appreciating your style my man! Can’t believe it took me this long to find your channel🤷. In the vein of liking things that most people may not know, what are your thoughts about Parmigiani Fleurier? I picked up one of their Tonda GT Chronographs last year and have been loving the fact hardly anyone knows what it is. I’ve actually worked a little backwards in my watch collecting journey and am only now about to acquire my first Rolex(126603). Again, I’m really appreciating your styleof watch content👊
I simply love all the two tone models. Yellow gold and steel look good. Just got one the other day. My first Rolex. Simply love it.
Amazing choice and loved hearing your thought process. Getting a little jealous of the batgirl coming from a sub-date wearer
Excellent choice and love the detailed reasoning! I’ve recently moved to Dubai with the family and was wondering where is the best place to sell an unworn GP Laureato? I’m not yet familiar with any reputable buy/sell groups. Cheers, Neil.
Try dubizzle if you’re hard enough for it. Or tp360 as a good grey dealer.
@@SteelmoonWatches Thanks, now I want to see if I’m hard enough for Dubizzle 😆
Nice video and chat. I like the strap you’ve got there. Can you share where you got it from?
Thank you. I got it at Kyros straps
@@SteelmoonWatches cool. Thanks for sharing. Is it the Buttero Steel Blue Soft Leather Strap?
Is SD4K bracelet as wide as the latest SD43 ?!
No
@@SteelmoonWatches then I like the SD43 despite of the 4K rarity
I was looking 👁️ to the watch you are wearing, thinking 🤔 that I am expert, I concluded that it is a no date Sub. I was shocked 😳 once you revealed it’s an SD 4K. I think 🤔 the minute hand covered the date window. It looks amazing 🤩, yet I am not yet convinced to buy it as I like and own the anniversary SD43 and have no problem neither with its big size nor the cyclope ! I would love to add a vintage two lines lollypop dial no Date Sub later.
I'm really considering a 116600. I've had a 16600 previously, which I loved. How does the 116600 wear relative to that? Very similar, or not as comfortable due to being more solid?
I had a Batgirl... Superb watch. Sold it and now have the SeaDweller 43. As much as I loved the Batgirl... the SD43 is killer!!!
This channel and “uptickwatchreviews” are my favourite watch channels. I’m completely the same, I pretty much only buy black dial watches (maybe a white dial if I’m feeling exotic) because anything too out there I get tired of. I daily a Speedy and it just never dates, its always relevant. I like the classics, Subs & Speedys. Same for cars too, basic 911s, Lotus Elise, Caterham 7 and Land cruises. Came for the watches, stayed for the collectors mindset!
Thank you mate. Glad you like the madness :)
I'm jealous. Been on a waiting list for the batman on oyster for about six months. I have no problems waiting for as long as it takes to get it because I don't want to pay over retail. But i'm very happy for you and hope you enjoy it.
Thanks mate. Sadly I went Grey. Was an Ok deal I guess.
Good morning Michael, Love the new watch. Very elegant. I just wanted to ask you your opinion of the GP Laureato, after having watched your video of it a few weeks ago? Is it still one of your favourite watches? I’m considering a purchase. GP or Grand Seiko? Any opinion?
Lovely watch I just had a sizing issues with the bracelet. Way better than GS.
I completely agree with both your main points. The non date watch is cleaner and simply more beautiful due to its symmetry and simplicity, but the date watch is two important elements of time on one watch. The date watch is a better tool. Second the aluminum bezel is far nicer than the ceramic because it’s metal, lighter and most important it won’t shatter. I love my 2006 submariner date even after adding a couple of yacht-masters to my collection I will never sell my pre ceramic submariner w/date. Just had it serviced for the first time and after 4 years I am wearing it daily once again. I prefer the old smaller hour markers and the sleek lugs on the older model submariner by far. The only thing I noticed improved in Rolex watches are the 70 hour reserves and the bracelets, particularly the glide lock clasp.
Lovely choice did you get it from the AD or go grey?
Grey
I agree, in real life, I much prefer the batgirl. It's only in photos that the pepsi pops because you really need to catch exactly the right lighting.
Fantastic video! I enjoyed the part with the nail polish! Funny but perfect analogy! 😂 the Batgirl suits you perfectly! Blue is a cool colour and Mr Steelmoon always goes through life cool. 💪
Thank you mate - glad you enjoyed it :)
Hi! Great video. This is my grail watch. Curious to ask though, what are your thoughts on a Royal Oak with a blue dial. Thank you!
RO not my Thing mate
@@SteelmoonWatches Can you share why please? Just curious your reasoning as I'm wrestling with the decision.
Great choice nice
Legend! Great choice!
Did you consider a DD40? It seems to check all the boxes you express - different, masculine, slightly flashier but still stealth, legible, etc. Approx same price as the Smurf you contemplated.
I do have a preference for sports still :) in the end I’m not DD40 material yet. Soon enough 🙌
I hear you. I’m 48 and only felt the draw towards a DD for the first time this year. Subscribed. Like what I see of your vids so far. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Daniel
Audio was great, by the way.
Excellent! Watching vacation day 13/37, Sundbyberg, Sweden.
jaffa cakes
Laureato and SW 43 suited you the best. 2-3 months i bet and this one is gone😂. If GMT, than the Bruce Wayne, even in two tone or gold.
Nice one, your Batgirl look mint. Interesting observation on the Pepsi and red too. I know what you mean; there is something fatiguing about it. I don't think I would have ever solved it unless you said it.
Detective 😂
Welcome to the league of shadows!
Was about to pull the trigger on a Pepsi Oyster, now having a massive brain fart.
😂 sorry. There was another guy who went pepsi then went for the BG.
I love the way you keep the watch in frame, all the time. And I like the leisurely pace, especially when you list out things, and the list is long. Plus you love Apple watches too. Can it get any better?
MS. T4YC: I am hearing this all the time now. My watch group, or should I say, the people in my watch group who like Rolexes, are all thinning their collections. Generally they're going for an upmarket precious metal watches. OR the classic PP, ALS, or VC route. But absolutely not JLC. As Dylan said, "the times, they are a changing"! (I am not that old BTW)
The 16710 has offset lugs as well. Surely you noticed that when you owned it?
I did :)
Nice pick up! I like the batman more than the pepsi imo love blue so good choice. Also agree with steel bezel daytona. My pick would be the 116509 blue dial but too much $$ 😂
After wrapping up major home improvements this year, I’m nearing a purchase…my fourth independent, this time from Laurent Ferrier. Blue is my favorite color too, so I’m between two references.
SD43 wins for me. Love the bigger bezel. Really, it’s a feature of the watch so increasing the size is a no brainer. I won’t be parting with mine any time.
Good take. Dopamine, watch memories, all true
Very insightful about the Pepsi. And yes, the jubilee bracelet is incredibly comfortable.
Beautiful timepiece. Looks great. But you know that 12 series sub-date is all you need…
Enexpected. But nice choice. The Panerai may need to go, its too bulbous. Try the Bucherer blue Radiomir, very slim, with the micro-rotor, very cool. And I think you need a 4 or 5 digit sub - a good moment to buy one and to round out the collection with a daily beater.
What a lovely, lovely watch. Btw, whatsa "bruce wayne" ???? Double spank. Great vid, mate.
beautiful watch. prefer it on the oyster bracelet though.
PERFECT wrist watch. SUPERB fit. It stands out in a very masculine manner. Looks class. Very handsome on you. There is good reason this watch is so incredibly desired.
Lovely choice Michael. And very interesting observation about the pepsi that could only have come from experience. Only point i would make is PCLs are fine - 5 yrs of wear on my rootbeer and still looks great
Female here and love that version the most! Congrats! Is your wife into watches too? Perhaps she can borrow it…LOL! Enjoy
Congratulations on the Bat girl, mate🎉 Prefer the jubilee over the oyster, and I think it makes it look that bit more classy well done 👏🏽
Just pop open that easy link clasp,on those hot days. Congratulations Michael!
Honestly, I would like for you to try the new Explorer 2 in black dial and comment about it. It's the last Rolex tool watch and stealth flex. Love your videos talking about your watch journey. I can relate to most of your experiences. Thanks.
Prefer the old 40mm explorer 2
Great choice! My favorite! Congratulations!!!
Thanks mate
Did you consider the two tone rootbeer GMT?
Actually I did - but it felt a bit brown to me.
