    New wheels are MUCH better than the aftermarket rubbish! People either love or hate the “Lobster Forks” (not claws as is commonly gotten wrong)-I think they’re great. The two-tone look is nice…reminiscent of a Fuchs look. Not necessarily a fan of the decal however…but it’s YOUR car, so anyone else’s opinion but yours doesn’t matter,

    My friend bought one yesterday and asked him why he didn’t choose the polar white dial. He replied the contrast of the GMT hand looked better against a black dial. He paid HK$95K (US$12,100) used with box and papers 2023 model. I thought it was a bit expensive.

    I owned the J version a long time ago, and really studied the differences from the K version at the time. Many don't know that the J version has a sharper, more crisp finish no the lugs and overall looks a lot better built. The lumes were applied better too, if I remember correctly. Now I own the SKX013 and love it. Interestingly, it has the sharp and crisp lugs like the J version. Definitely a lifetime keeper!

    I preferred it over a 226570 for almost the same price. This has more charme due to the shadowed hands and the slimmer band. 72 Hours of charge reserve were not so crucial in the decision. I’ve been wearing it since the first day, so no problem of disruption… still good value for price. 9300 € for a late 2018 issue, Rolex service included.

    Sorry the podcast has been retired. I enjoyed it so much. So many now feature "stars" with the extreme high end models that while nice to hear, are a little out of reach. I have recently aquired a black on red 67 912 thanks to your enthsiasm for the car! Did you ever find the 912 you were looking for? Cheers Eric New York

    A well optioned car makes it easier to sell-on. 914 vs 718 - major safety improvements for peace of mind. Make a list of need-to-have options, then go shopping for the car.

    I think you’re being a bit analogous, I have a 997.2 and I daily drive it , it’s a pdk , I know what you mean about parking but at the end of the day it doesn’t mean it won’t happen even if you were driving a mini. I had to get over being too worried at the end of the day it’s just a car. Stop worrying so much and use your 997 .

    Just bought mine yesterday. The polar was my grail but after trying it on hand I chose the black one. I don’t know but something was off about the white dial & the steel bezel. Maybe it was my skin tone too which suits the black dial. It would be gorgeous if the polar had a black bezel like the panda Daytona, just my humble opinion. Anyway in love with my first Rolex 👍
