I've never got on with titanium, I like a bit of weight to a watch.
It also loses all the sculpted curves i was waffling on about a few pages back…
Why would the metal used affect the shape?

The Cellini is dead as well.

Seiko probably got a bit too close to Rolex target market with the Grand Seiko SBGH291 and that's perhaps why Titanium has made an appearance.

Maybe it will be ok to use Titanium in a sports watch now Rolex has given it a seal of approval hehe

The Sky Dwellers are, as usual, all hideous.

The bubble OP is a nice consolation price whilst the Milgauss gets a make-over.
Yes, the Sky Dwellers do seem to divide opinion lol
I’ve got my name for the blue head swelled, and I appreciate its unobtanium status.
I for one really like this and have done so since it was launched.
If they offers me the new green version, I’d take it, but still lust for the blue version.

Really like the petrol blue dial on gold but too rich for my blood.

I really like the RLX yachtmaster. I’m disappointed the milgauss has gone. Ideally I would have liked to see an updated movement on that and I would have looked to get one.
It won't be gone for long IMO.

Because in terms of difficulty to machine, gold<steel<titanium. Rolex probably don't have the skilled craftsmen to do it, vs Seiko.

Yes, this will be one of the hottest ones to get. Much like the Tiffany last time... just a colored dial, right? But it fits in with street / pop culture way more than a $80k precious metal item.

why did they call you when you had the watch already?
Because I was after a two tone to add to my collection. I've bought a couple from them. When it came through I changed my mind but went through with it and sold it to my friend.

P.s. there is no such thing as a wait list (the concept of something ticking down like countdown timer). At least not from what I've experienced or been told directly from them. Also there is no one-watch limit like some kind of restriction policy. As a valued customer you can buy 10 subs if you want to.

My experience anyway.

RG skydweller with the brown face is what I would love to get next...that or Day date in RG with brown face.
I guess the RG models have shorter wait times than the steel ones?
I actually think its the other way round although neither seem to have short waiting times.

My experience as well (covered ad nauseum elsewhere) . . . .

. . . but from the other side. AD perfectly civil . . . nearly two years now since I asked for an AirKing. Genuine local prospective customer.

No watch for me. Other people ask, get a watch (or two). Other people don’t ask, get a watch (or two).

Going to London on a two week training course in May. Will try there.

I like it and it looks like it's available in 3 sizes.

with the three milgauss gone, you need a fun watch or two in the lineup.

Rolex bubbles or whatever it's called is the best thing they've made in a long time.

I coughed up £4.5k on a new bed today, that's entry level/ladies Rolex price territory. Was nice for the salesman to actually want to take my money, and for him not to be condescending, and no pre purchase interview needed. Quite a pleasurable experience actually. All I have to do now is encourage the whole world to want the exact same bed, and then I can flip it for some easy profit £££

Looking at your previous posts on the matter of getting a watch,has it not occurred to you that it might be your attitude that isnt getting you anywhere?
