Having owned dozens of watches, I always seem to gravitate to the ones that are most legible (often divers).
That foto would put me right off for that reason. It's probably a play of light with highly polished hands, but being able to read the time is a must in a watch for me.
Also, same for the simpsons swatch, I've never gotten used to the lack of indices and it takes me another second or so to be able to tell the time, but I think it's something you could get used to.

Agreed, that's got to be up there with a neg display G-shock

I had an invite to the launch of their C1 Moonphase the other week, It's stunning, I also got to try on the Bel Canto which I loved.



Nice.

Purchase anything?

The dial put me off when I saw the release photos, I thought it was too much, but in real life it’s a lot more subtle - almost like a texture more than a pattern. Perhaps in lighter colours it would be more prominent
Ta!

I do like blue and purple too.

Love that root beer. There’s a Batman for sale up the town centre here and it’s a lovely thing. I’ve never seen a root beer but it must be stunning in the flesh

It's an absolute stunner and dare I say I think it's one of the most unique in the Rolex line up.
I say unique because the batman and pepsi colours are often used by other manufacturers but the rootbeer colour combo isn't.

I think it's because they are a bit... marmite?
Evidently they are to some tastes, but I think there's very good reasons other aren't copying it.

Picked this up today. Another brand I have always promised myself I would add to the collection, and fits my self imposed “got to be different enough from the others to justify” rule.

Love it so far

No watch crime so far in Dubai. Most serious crime occurred just now: no lime or even lemon for G&T, hence slice of pineapple…

Fantastic watch. I'd love a Ulysee some day.
