Hi!
It’s complication is fascinating and useful for specific use in sailboat races, but unfortunately I think it is a wrong watch because it is too thick. The complication of the Sky Dweller is also fascinating, but again, Rolex got it wrong because the watch has an exaggerated thickness. In the imagination of each of us, the watches with an important case thickness are the sub, stop. The only large watch was the Deep Sea in 2008, discontinued in 2018, the new lines are a big disappointment. Fashion, no more tradition
YM II - Discontinued
Probably the most hated and most misunderstood model in the modern Rolex sports model collection. Nevertheless, with its bezel-controlled programmable mechanical timer equipped with a mechanical memory and on-the-fly synchronization to the nearest minute,...
I'm sure he has 'people' for that...
...besides, he has money to buy old masters, which can be understood : )
It’s not the watch, but the people who bought and wore this watch, that gave it a bad rep IMHO.
Amazing engineering, but just too big for many wrists. RIP indeed
As a former sailor...
during my University years, I can say, this complication was useless!
Hmm...
I mean... We had digital countdown timers where everyone was looking at the same reference. Nobody needed to "sync" their watches. And the crew of sailors work together to make sure that the boat crosses the start line as soon as the race starts.
Sometimes there are two or three digital countdown clocks on the boat.
And I could see the large countdown clock on land. On huge boats, like in Americas Cup, they have real professionals. With hundreds of millions of dollars on the line - the budget of some teams - these real professionals don't use watches neither. They're...
Thank you so much
for that informative explanation!!! On my powerboat I rely mostly on my PO Chrono because I can time two events simultaneously for instance over all trip time and elapsed time from last refueling. Thank you again⛵️⛵️⛵️
You're most welcome!
Ahh! You probably can't wait for the warm weather to return so you can enjoy your time back on the water!
I’m sure it’s back at some point.
I always liked the design but this thing was massive.
I think ...
I read somewhere that Rolex filed a new patent for an updated mechanism. Will be interesting to see.
