What is everyone rocking today to prepare for tomorrow's Rolex release?

Aug 31, 2020,05:36 AM
 

While Rolex dominates more than anyone else in this space, let's not forget haute horlogerie and the beauty behind these amazing timepieces. Both FX and I have posted some incredible timepieces seen in Geneva last week but sadly most are still focused on Rolex 🤦‍♂️

Well, I am rocking the Zeitwerk today so "no Rolex for me" (in my best voice of the soup Nazi from Seinfeld 😂🤣).









The Zeitwerk coupled with the Richard Lange Pour Le Merite make the ultimate stealth pairing IMHO. 2 monsters that don't have to shout, "look at me"😉

Excellent pair!

Make sure to be ready on the phone tomorrow to pre-order the new fusee and chain submariner!

Seriously speaking - thank you for your amazing report!

I am curious what Urwerk and MB&F have up their sleeve. And Romain Gauthier ... I love my white gold zeitwerk and I am seriously thinking about the Richard Lange, I like this version better than the porcelain one as it looks more casual, sporty even.

Agreed about the RL and also about the black dial being more sporty and casual...

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : August 31st, 2020-07:52
as for Urwerk, MB&F, etc...I can say there are some very cool pieces to be annonced. I saw 4 Urwerks under embargo. 1 was a new iteration of an existing model while the other 3 are new pieces. I cannot say more than that. Max also has a VERY cool watch to... 

Thank you for the color! Will need to be patient :)

Your Geneva photos are beyond words

No other community covers so broad a spectrum as this one due to members like you. I love Rlx but the the wider one's view, the greater one's appreciation of the artistry involved in the keeping of time.

Many thank my friend and totally agree about this wonderful forum and the members here 👍

As we share and evolve in our collecting journey, it is great to be around like-minded individuals who share in our passion and share with one another. Rolex, Omega, etc...all make amazing watches but when we look beyond we tend to find true artisans that... 

absolutely beautiful pair of Lange you've there !

 
 By: mahesh : August 31st, 2020-07:10
i'm personally a fan of this base version black dial Zeitwerk - very original design/complication imho. Best, mahesh.,

Would highly recommend both 😉👍 [nt]

Good on you...

If you compare in the hand you will change your mind just like I did...

LOL, I did compare them side by side when I bought my Pour Le Merite as I wore my Zeitwerk to the boutique...

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : September 3rd, 2020-14:02
and again I much prefer the standard Zeitwerk for the simply dial and contrast with the movement. Same reason why I purchase the Pour Le Merite. If I wanted a Lange with a date, I would choose one of their Big Date models as that is what they are known fo... 

Fully agree with you. Love my Zeitwerk due to the contrast and purity on the dial.

 
 By: Watchlover42 : September 3rd, 2020-14:12
As it's not an every day watch but a piece of art I don't miss a date here. But nevertheless a wonderful watch with or without date ...  

That’s the great thing about the ZW Date!

 
 By: sea_brownie : September 3rd, 2020-14:21
It is an everyday watch 👍🏼 that’s sort of the point 😀 I also own the older model - felt like a hockey puck, to high, to round and not a nice fit. Also found to formal looking in black... not as versatile - I’m more into casual

Trust me I understand your point but again, people have different taste and no one is more right with their choice than anyone else 😉😁...

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : September 3rd, 2020-14:39
I see that you have 3 watches to rotate between which gives you versatility for different occasions. My Zeitwerk is not my daily, neither is my Pour Le Merite or any of my other hundred watches, yes you read correctly, I said hundred. A bit too much hoard... 

Need to evolve my friend... [nt]

 
 By: sea_brownie : September 4th, 2020-10:17

Agreed 👍 [nt]

There’s a part of me that looks forward to the new releases

 
 By: Mr.Gatsby : August 31st, 2020-11:00
But on the flip side to that I must admit that the yearly releases don’t matter anymore. We all know where the steel models would end up at. What am I wearing tomorrow ? No idea, but likely a Laurent Ferrier Galet Square with chocolate brown dial white pa...  

Bravo, my friend. [nt]

Ah....the mighty ZW and RL. Nice ones Justin👍🏻

These 2 families are just what I don’t have currently in my Langes. I want and hope to add them some day. Today I’m wearing the predictable Sub. ...  

Thanks Raymond and would highly recommend both for your lovely Lange collection...

Although I never get excited about Rolex releases...

 
 By: CR : August 31st, 2020-14:48
.. I happen to be wearing a 126660 James Cameron today. I just got it last week. It's actually the first brand new Rolex I've ever purchased. I had the black dial 116660 since 2008 and liked it just fine, but I had been wanting the (beautiful) blue/black ...  

It goes without saying

Im traveling this week.....

so I just switched from my from favorite summer watch to an Overseas...... Which is my only watch with a SS bracelet. ...  

Agree

Rolex are good daily tool watches, honestly a good daily garden watch but not high end by any stretch.
