Better said, has ruined an immortal design.
Shame on them!

The "must have" elements in the world of sports for today's tastes and market...not everyone does it well, not everything sells, but at least everyone is trying the best. - Must be steel - Must be with a bracelet - Must be simple (time only or with date a...
Wow, the power of Gerald Genta!!

He designed the four you mentioned and I’d argue his aesthetic heavily influenced the GP Laureato. That’s one man involved in five of these twelve pieces. He was, and remains, the premier watch designer of our time. NickO
I didn’t know that, thanks LX!

That puts Genta involvement at 6 out of 12, which is an amazing 50%, of these most popular designs.

If AP RO Jumbo or Nautilus 5711 are readily available, and not 2-2.5x, critics’ claws will come out and thrash talk them. I see and hear too much how “wow, beautiful” a watch is crap all because of desirability and “hard to get”, bragging rights factor an...
The GP Laureato looks really good against this lineup.

I still have never taken to the octagonal bezel, though... Some seem rather overdesigned. And I am further convinced that the Chopard is terrible....straight out of the 80s. The BR is terrible too, IMO. Complete wannabe watch. The Rolex blue dial OP would...
must have

I work with my own must have laws, since i bought my first automatic watch. Similarity at some points. Some of my must have elements. > automatic > swiss made only > keep,it simple, nothing more than time and date > heritage, the old 19th century, old mas...
Agreed ...

But too bad that wide-flared integrated bracelet makes it a bad fit for thinner wrists.
I love the photo!

These are all nice watches in a vacuum, but they are all the same. To me, it echoes a truth. We respect and admire individualism, but most of us find our happiness in community. We want to be ourselves, but we do not want to so unique as to be alone. This...
So true❣️👍🏻😅

Nodoby will take care about movement ))) I'm a little bit afraid what we'll see in one day WBR Serge
It's a tough choice.

AP's 15202 is a must-have on most people's bucket list. I'd also take Patek's 5711 and Chopard's Alpine Eagle. The latter isn't too shabby considering what you get at its price level, cf. . They would be my go-to pieces if I only was allowed to pick thre...
