I get the same vibes from Grand Seiko sometimes. Sublime but you have to be in the mood for it.

The “zen garden”

I believe this watch has so much going for it. The minimalist dial and a perfectly proportioned case + the brushed bracelet all reduce it to the essential of a Rolex. I see it as a future classic. However, i think it’s greatest strength is also its weakne...
Interesting thoughts on this Rolex ...

I completely agree with your conclusion. It would be interesting to see it on a strap and then see how it changes.
thanks Cpt.

That could be a fun idea to try out since it is so "neutral". Normally i dont like Rolex on straps - or more correctly - since I love the Rolex bracelets I think they much preferable. But your idea is good and and why not have some fun with it. Any good i...

Yes GS is similar.

And I completely agree about being in the mood for this subtle aesthetic. Sometimes it’s just too restrained and underplayed. Other days it really tickles me.
I loved my OP 39 White dial too...

In the end I traded it away for a Jaeger LeCoultre to celebrate my 60th birthday. Still the Rolex is destined to be a classic especially with such a short production run! Cheers! ...

Now back on its steel bracelet. I have found a generic alligator leather strap that fills the gap between case and the spring bars, but it is only designed to fit an Explorer. ...
That does look nice. Thank you. Classic elegant.

I’m developing a liking toward the “ non sport” pieces. I think they have a way of blending in. They are there with presence and excellent performance it will also go unnoticed. I love this. I also thought about giving a rubber strap a go since I plan on ...
Happy to hear you are enjoying yours. It’s just how it works for me.

It was sitting next to my Explorer 1. That won every time over this one. I even forced myself to wear it but just found it too plain. Now, with the stronger light, the granular texture and the warm white starts to show and even pop with small nuances in t...
Perfectly summed up. Thank you, Ed.

I’m not surprised that you would appreciate this watch. It’s the sort of watch that is just PERFECT for some days. I’m really happy I added it to my box as I think it holds a special place.
Haha 👍🤗

Too big?
By: ChristianDK : March 31st, 2021-23:58
I’m not surprised that this is something you would like, Jay. You do have exceptional taste 😁 too bad about the size but that’s just on e of the most important factors, so I understand.
Thank you, my friend.

I’m at the summer house now and have time to enjoy it. I really enjoy it’s purity and simplicity. HAGWE 😊
