The Rolex 40mm S/S sports watches are so small it's not true, why anyone would pay the asking price is beyond me.

I know it's a cycle and people think hey I've got £6-7k I can go on the list and not lose anything but seriously I used to have a 16710 that I got for less than £2k new back in 2004 and thought it was OK, in 2009 someone offered me 4k and I was like are you serious? OK it's yours! I've no idea why people are wiling to spend what they do on these watches, my old watch now goes for 8-9k which is madness.

I recently tried a Kermit and BLNR on but I was thinking no way I'd pay these prices for something with this lack of wrist presence.

I think a date just II is much better bet, 41mm x 12 mm and 51mm lug to lug and less than mrsp with a white gold bezel and shimmering blue dial.
