Root beer..half gold..teh other 2 are juz hyped steel
Daytona, mainly is because of the lower production in steel and the damn long waiting list.Pick one:
Daytona 116520 black (AN series, used)
GMT root beer half gold (BNIB)
GMT Pepsi steel (BNIB)
All almost same price.
Which one will you pick using heart/emotion?
Which one will you pick using head/logic?
Personally i like the style. 70 hr power reserve is pretty useful imo.
It's more than just the winding mechanism, the efficiency of the escapement plays a role too.How is 70hr power res useful? U don’t wear freq?
These days ppl with desk job if winding not efficient, 120hrs power res also not useful

Yeap i swap out different watches depending on mood hence it's useful to me
After some serious thought today, am so leaning towards 116520, as I feel the GMT coloured bezels are kind of silly now. Hankering after the aluminium coloured inserts of a bygone era.
Used to own 116520 black but sold liao. Should I get the white now to complement these cousins?
Your photo taking skills is lol
Can't see crap.
GMT color bezel got use one. Not just for show.
The mainspring determines how much elastic energy can be stored when the watch is fully wound -- for simplicity, the two factors are the "spring constant" and the length of the mainspring. Holding the two factors constant, you can still increase the power reserve of the watch by employing a more efficient escapement system, by, for example, having a more skeletonized balance wheel or employing materials with lower friction for the pallet jewels (or go coaxial, perhaps). The "cheating" way, of course, is to reduce the frequency of oscillation, from 4 Hz to 3.5 or even 3 Hz.Efficient escapement? do u mean inefficient escapement use more energy but the watch main spring is design to hold x hours. Care to explain the role?
Even if escapement is efficient, main spring not wind up. How does escapement run?
isn't strictly true, because the number of turns can be the same (and hence the winding is exactly identical), while boasting a 60-70 hr power reserve.How is 70hr power res useful? U don’t wear freq?

Solly lah dai gor... Was viewing this thread at 2am then decided to come downstairs to my poolside for a smoke and snap what I thought was a romantic photo. I apologise if the downlights at my pool deck area were too dim.
Colour bezel is to indicate daylight and nighttime nia mah. Ya got use.
Jin sat ki to have swimming pool at house downstairs
