Elegance?

Mostel,

With all due respect, what do you have in mind when writing that like Lange, Rolex "exudes utter elegance"? What man's Rolex has ever had "elegance" among it's visible attributes?

I've always thought that the greatest flaw of the brand is it's utter lack of elegance.

Perhaps my concept of elegeance differs from yours. I think AP, PP, VC, Lange, FPJ, even Cartier, make elegant watches. In contrast; Rolex, Omega, Sinn, Roger Dubois, GG, Panerai make inelegant watches.

Some huble Rolex thoughts...

After posting, I was already re-thinking how I could have added that there is at least one brand I hold up to Rolex solid-build quality: Lange immediately comes to mind--and there you have the luxury of a dress watch built like a tank--yet one which, like...

Hi Mostel, Obviously there's a yes in my answer so I nearly agree with your points. Indeed I agree that Rolex as a brand seems to make the most reliable watches, even more in the long term of the last 5 decades at least. But there's also a no! I just orde...

A Hublot BB? ROFLMAO!

Seriously, since you said a watch with a bracelet, and already discontinued...I don't see... I thought about an IWC Aquatimer, but these are not discontinued, yet. Too hard, my friend. A watch from a true manufacture? Nicolas

A Hublot! Your mad mind!

Hi Nicolas, Anyway I thought all Hublot models were discontinued! Aren't they all limited series? Indeed not an IWC! A true manufacture calibre? Not for my future watch , but some may be tempted to say yes for some reasons. And there are true manufactiure...
