A jellyfish on your wrist, in red, now. The case is huge, with a diameter of 53, 8 mm, very thick, with 21, 3 mm, the water resistance is the only thing which disappointed me, given the nature of this watch, with 50 meters only. But damn hell, what a beast! One of the most surprising, exciting and o
But my favorite iteration is the rose gold black version. Indeed, it is next on my "hit list". Alas, my watch funds were recently depleted(!) and so it may take a little time to save up. But it will be worth the wait.... NickO
The only watches I’d ever consider taking anywhere near water would be a Rolex Submariner, a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, or a Seiko I paid less than $500 for. I’ve had a couple bad watch & water experiences so now I’m pretty gun shy! NickO
But if they are positioning it as a serious dive watch, then yes, the 50m resistance is a little inconsistent with that concept, I agree with you 100%. For me, it’s just more great watch art that I’d never consider getting near water. But I’d love to hear from anyone who has actually done serious diving with a six-figure timepiece on their wrist. They’ve got to be out there, and I tip my hat to them! NickO
Firstly - very exciting to know the aquapod is on your shorlist. I recently was able to handle the MB&F perpetual and fell in love instantly. Their offerings are so captivating in person. With regards to expensive dive watches - i recommend checking out Watchleo_private on instagram. He recently was in Tulum diving with a UN Tourbillon as a fun experiment to see how a 6-figure tourbillon would actually perform when down deep. Plenty of amazing photos and videos of the cave diving. Best, Colton
I talk about MB&F quite a lot and I love the brand, but I’ve never actually owned one. I get close to popping on one and then I get seduced by something else. Max is always my bridesmaid and never my bride. Okay, that came out wrong. But you guys know what I mean...... NickO
No, maybe not. Bridesmaid is safer.
