Rolex Daytona Meteorite Dial Watch Available On James List
I am always torn about writing about Rolex watches - because frankly, they don't need the press. While I'd be happy wearing any number of Rolex watches (although I feel most of them are too small these days), there are a few interesting models that standout to me that don't get a lot of face time. In fact, many of my favorite Rolex watches are less than stellar sellers.

Rare Lady's Seamaster 120
Rare is an overused term I know, but I have never seen another one of these and neither has my other half so indulge me xxx It is a Lady's Seamaster 120 from about 1966, this is the date version (566.007) with a gorgeous little calibre 681 automatic movement. When I can persuade the other half to open it up I will take a photo.It is in fabulous condition and I feel so lucky.It is about 30mm in diameter, so don't be fooled into thinking it is bigger by my tiny wrist

PP Clock
I was wondering if anyone has ever seen one of these PP clocks in person and if they have any opinion. They look nice and was thinking of trying to find one. I have been wanting a mechanical table clock and thought perhaps a Patek?
