Going purely by design, I will go for the Rolex SD4000.

the 114060 has a gloss dial. the 116600 has a matte dial

their bezel markings are different

the 116600 has a helium valve for serious diving

by the way, Explorer II has no "Quick date" function

why not get the Explorer

Strange, went to Porsche but the sales team was pretty friendly despite knowing that I'm just driving another car under the same distributor. In fact they were quite keen to sell, texting me monthly for 4 months lol!

Maybe cos you look atas and driving la bro haha. We look 凡人

Considering that the cars cost so much...

They could really learn a lot from Lexus. Last time just went there to have a look, the sales manager really never judge, give a ten minute tour of the IS, explain all the strong/weak points of it.

When I said no licence, then he said no problem, have the "drive it your way". They park the car at your house for a day, then you use it how you would your daily ride/drive it on the roads in your area.

And did I say that their pricing structure is very straightforward? No wonder so many people who like nice cars, but not the hassle, end up going for them.

I have the same good experience at Lexus. Welcomed me to level 2, explained 15 mins to me on their RX model, and even helped me check if got mgmt car they wanna let out

Explorer II doesn't have the quick date that works like how it does in Sub and Datejusts but you can set the date by adjusting the hour hand only w/o the minute hand moving, albeit hour hand needs to rotate 24hours for each date change.

Reverse the hour hand to reverse the date?

I know. That's why didn't get this or GMT. Deal breaker for me.

Wishing all a nice weekend. Week 1 of 52. Done
