W464 G63 AMG

Finally something else than black matte spotted in the wild.
Doesn’t photograph well but looks outstanding!
Just wanted to share with you - sometimes you gotta be daring and take a risk - they certainly did and got rewarded with one of the nicest 464s I’ve ever seen.

Got them delivered after a 2 month wait and some correspondence due to fitting issues as I have wide feet.
They were lovely to work with and the shoe has an outstanding fitting out of the box.
Let’s see how reliable and it will be.
The first impressions are good and I think they live up to their claims.

In 1970, the Swiss watch industry was in full panic mode. Quartz technology had just landed at the 1969 Basel Fair like a grenade, and twenty Swiss manufactures (including Rolex) pooled resources under the CEH consortium just to survive, collectively birthing the Beta 21 movement.
Rolex’s answer was the Ref. 5100 — later nicknamed „Texano“. A left-field choice by every measure. At 39mm with an angular integrated bracelet, the chunky geometry and seamless case-to-bracelet transition felt almost alien coming from the house of the Oyster. Only around 1,000 pieces were ever made across yellow, and white(grey) gold — gone by 1972, discontinued without ceremony, reduced to a footnote.
But footnotes have a way of resurging. At Watches & Wonders 2025, Rolex unveiled the Land-Dweller — an integrated bracelet sports watch with angular architecture and the all-new Calibre 7135. By Rolex’s own admission, a lot of the Land-Dweller’s DNA traces directly back to the Ref. 5100. A quartz-era design language, reborn around mechanical perfection.
And here’s the most insane detail: the Texano wears surprisingly well today. In 1970, 39mm with a thick integrated case was considered almost unwearably bold. Now, that same 39mm sits flush, the bracelet distributes weight beautifully, and the proportions feel nearly modern. What was once excessive has quietly become just right.
The Ref. 5100 never fit neatly into Rolex’s story. It still doesn’t!!
