Love that, probably the next watch I'd like to join my speedmaster, seamaster 300 and aqua Terra
Just bought this today ( online, so i don't have it yet)

Congratulations; I had a Prince for a couple of years. A special watch, so different to other modern Rolex models. Display back, with beautifully engraved movement. Hand wound . Just so rare and different.
Of course , that difference meant that most Rolex buyers didn’t want to know......Rolex put so much effort into it. A gem of a watch, but very formal.
There were several different dial designs, all carefully engraved. 18k gold too. When you get it, post a photo of the movement. Quite lovely, and possibly the only modern Rolex with elaborate decoration on the parts.
Of all modern Rolex models, this feels the most beautifully made , a design the company really cared for. But the public didn’t. In years to come that may slowly change.

I have been after something dressy for a while and my contact at the AD said I had to check out the Azzurro Dial DJ before I went down the GS route I had been planning.
She got one in for me and one look at the stunning sunburst dial had me convinced she knew what she was talking about!
Well, my 7th MM300 has arrived, and I'd like to think I'll be hanging onto this one as it's the nicest reference to date. Just need to decide what long term strap/bracelet solution I want as the OEM rubber is far too long and I prefer/need a simple 4-hole clasp for the bracelet; for now, though, I'll go with a bit of colour.
Fantastic watch Tony. I kept going back to look at the thread and was close. SLA is a huge step up.
Congrats - totally agree this is the best reference. I struggled finding a long term strap/bracelet solution when owning an MM300 - it needs to be on the bracelet to balance the head weight. I'm ok with the clasp, but with the bracelet, it then becomes far too heavy. That always is the catch-22 and why I will not buy another one!
Yes, there's absolutely no question that they can be a bit top heavy, although I find them well-balanced and very wearable on the bracelet.
Anyway, I've found a combo that I like a lot so this will likely be the non-bracelet option going forward.
Will do, Paul, thanks.
Except that it doesn't look like a Panerai :)
Lovely watch thou and with such a nice history ... https://youtu.be/9DDxj7uKDUE

GMT sees the end of an 8 month watch Hiatus after selling my collection to move house .
as Coronet King said, it is a modern version of the LIP mach 2000 the main difference is it has a quartz movement rather than the original mechanical one.

I bought it from here because it was on sale: (I've just checked and it's even cheaper today £284.40, bollocks!)

No “boutique divers” ever again; failed!
At least it is relatively original looking.

I’ve hovered over the Buy button Dave. What are your thoughts on it?

I’ll let you know when it’s here. I was outbid on the one with good pics and loads of feedback, then made an offer on the other one, after a few messages to check condition. I don’t normally do “boutique” watches, but it’s unique enough looking to have piqued my interest.

Thanks Dave. I had one of theirs last year, and was suitably impressed.
Ordered over a year ago, I'd actually forgotten about it, showed-up in the post today...
Fortunately, I love it!
Another OceanX added to the collection.
Very pleased.
