It's noteworthy when you collect the most quirky Rolex....?
It's rare to witness Rolex being 'playful'......but an intense study of the 'blue-dial' model of the Milgauss is a welcome contrast to their more 'serious' designs which grace my collection... My original Submariner 1987 Ref 168000 My 40 Rose Gold YachtMa...
The title text was true for decades until...
... this year's GMT Lefty :-D Great collection! My favorite is the YM by far.
Thanks Ray..
YachtMaster design makes my point just as emphatically.... Sheer brilliance 👍
No real reason for an antimagnetic watch nowadays??? At the contrary! We are all living with important magnetic fields: TV screens, Hi FI Loudspeakers, cell phones, lap tops, even hair dryers...
Then, this Milgauss i not only a cool watch, but also well built to defend itself against magnetic fields... Even if some are superior to its thousand gauss... Best, Nicolas
Cool watch indeed my friend...
But aren't most modern watches with silicon hairsprings and combinations of non- ferrous metals equal to the Milgauss in practice?
Thanks for an interesting and thought-provoking post, and indeed kudos to Rolex for its subtle but constant innovations in all areas, including its hugely successful designs!🙏😉
The Milgauss line is so special and, in a sense, unique with respect to the rest of the Rolex catalog that I’m sure will always have its fans regardless of its practical use!😄🥂 Enjoy.
Your seal of approval my friend.....
Is all I need....👍 And of course....our Renault-driving Amanico 🏎
Breguet 10 Hz
I recently saw the use that Breguet has made of anti-magnetic materials with their new 10Hz movement, basically using magnets to keep the balance pivots “floating”, thereby reducing friction and improving accuracy. I was extremely impressed. I don’t know ...
Beautiful watch, indeed,
(and if I found love for the super quirky seconds hand, and unfortunately I cannot, I'd be all over it.) Cheers Marc
Ive had mine for 4 years now and Ive had a lot of fun with it
I used to hate it. Untill I started loving it. Its a special watch for a special mood but always a mood with a smile.
I normally wear a new watch the entire next day.........
But this one hasn't come off for 3 days........ This could be the start of a beautiful relationship....🥰 ...
