articulated rubber, but the rose version is very nice. If I recall correctly there were only 300 in rose? However, after almost 13 years (got mine in '09), it still is my "beater" for anything beach/water related. I would have loved it if it were affordable. -Dean
Breitling, under George Kern, put out a hard copy of the 21/22 catalog. Personally, I LOVED the JLC white catalogs because they included the history of the brand. I understand getting rid of print media, but at least duplicate the historical narrative on the website! JLC has minimized their history
If you travel, the 5164A is Patek's only men's travel watch with a depth rating of 120M. If, however, you want legibility, the 5167A has a classic 3 hands with date on a disc at 3 o'clock. The date on the 5164A is harder to read, since it is on the subdial at 6 o'clock. Again, very personal. -Dean
but this development was very costly. I have been saying that JLC could/should relaunch this design in another line and even (dare I say it?) relaunch the DBS version, which could be coded to open or close your car (any car). But I'm only dreaming..... -Dean
