Curious, what is the connection between a Rolex model and a Muppet

Some might argue, quite a bit...

I shall never read someone talking about their "Kermit" without cracking a smile, thanks to this post.

Brilliant!

Those that think these 2020 Tokyo watches are going up in the future because the games were delayed until 2021 are just dreaming. That won't be a factor. They'll go up if they are viewed as attractive pieces, which seems to be the case now, but sometimes attitudes change depending on whose stoking the hype machine. No one can predict the future.

Glad to be putting mine on this morning. I am heading over to Majorca tomorrow and it will be coming along for the trip.

Such a clean looking piece, I absolutely love it!

This makes me very happy with my purchase and mod

This is one sweet and cool Speedy. It looks like the other famous one with the red stripes in the dial (forgetting the name).

They were sold exclusively in Japan, that is why it is hard to find the RRP.

Woahhh! @wx_073 that is the first picture I've seen where the rising sun dial looks truly grey versus almost a sparkling white in so many other pictures. Is that a true representation of how the dial looks, or does it shine/shimmer back & forth between white and grey?

Did someone on this thread buy the last available Rising Sun in the UK on Chrono24? It was on for £7650.
