I don't know too much about these very technical details, tbh,
but, yes, these Paraflex absorbers seem to be a good idea (but what do I know)!
Rolex Land-Dweller 40: some live pics
Here are some live pics from A Blog To Watch of the 40 mm oyster steel & white gold Rolex Land-Dweller ref. 127334 powered by caliber 7135 . To put things into perspective, I added some photos of the Oysterquartz ref. 17014 & 17013 and one photo of th...
I'm personally not too fond of these
rectangular hands. Nor for the open 6 and 9... Best, Emmanuel
None of these photos are mine (all photo credits are specified)!
You would have to ask that question to David Bredan, from A Blog To Watch! Best, Emmanuel
I love it...
Just not big on the dial. if they end up releasing dial variations in the future, I think I'll get one. IMO the movement is extremely cool to boot.
Agreed. And for me to exclude the dial motif
and the hands is to exclude a lot! Best, Emmanuel
I agree!
Really fascinated by the movement but not so much the dial. Hopefully they use the movement in some other dial formats later. Still a pretty cool release overall!
The Oysterquartz models 👍
are more aesthetically pleasing and easier on my eyes. I think I am getting older😅
9-6
and a DATE???? Please not.... I haven't seen such a disturbing dial-layout for a while..... Just my 50 cents!
I also find this 9-6 rather puzzling
and don’t like the dial pattern and the shape of the hands… Best, Emmanuel
I don’t get it
The name as many have noted—is a goof. It won’t matter, because of the hype, etc. But for ‘the calm collector’ the name is really horrible. I thought it might be a joke at first. It does conjure up ‘office-dweller’ or ‘sofa-dweller.’ But only a few will c...
The case, integrated bracelet and movement are the best thing about this novelty
The dial is a big miss. How much is Rolex trying to fit on one dial? The milliseconds markers, all the writing on the dial, the textured honeycombs, the distracting numerals and minutes and hour hands that don’t blend well with that random seconds hand . ...
Agreed, less is more.
And the dial and hands aren't appealing, at least on photos. Best, Emmanuel
Thank you for posting the pics and additional information.
My opinion hasn’t changed: I just don’t get it. And that’s okay, because there are a lot of things I don’t get, and there will be plenty of people who “get” and will want to get this watch. 40mm, Explorer-style numbers with a date, a seemingly random dial...
I share some of your doubts
and reservations. Especially concerning the dial and hands (at least judging from photos). Best, Emmanuel
This watch is indeed more convincing from a technical standpoint
than from an aesthetic one. At least for me and judging from photos. Best, Emmanuel
The 1530 still the best IMO.
The bracelet and case of land dweller is great. I will wait for the upcoming dial variations ..and hopefully a smooth bezel options. The hands are OK for me.
It seems that it would definitely look better with another dial.
Anyway, we're only judging from photos: real experience might feel different. Best, Emmanuel
