I really wanted to like this watch
As I find the movement interesting and on paperI like elements of it. But the overall piece feels very cold. It didn’t wake any emotions in me.
I finally had a chance to try on the land dweller in Monaco…
It’s beautiful. The bracelet is great. I love the etching on the dial. The size and fit are great. I really like the sharp angles on the case with integrated bracelet. But I felt like something is missing. I can’t put my finger on it. But the watch didn’t...
In my very personal opinion, something is missing because the watch still gives off Datejust-vibes due to the fluted bezel and I never really fell in love with the Datejust
Perhaps a smooth bezel as on the Oysterquartz models of yesteryear and baton indices could help… The bracelet definitely looks impressive. What I’m not too fond of is that the lateral case profile isn’t as angular as it perhaps should be. Overall, the des...

40mm steel
Is the next watch on my list. I love the movement tech and how thin it is. I know the dial is controversial but I applaud them for doing something different than what they usually do, often being conservative to a fault.

But some watches look better on a strap.
Use Datejust as a guide...
...colors, textures, markers, numerals... So many variations. They could do this here as well...
Or… this is as good as it gets… or… things can always get worse 😎
This is turning into a woody Allen plot 😝
It’s a new Rolex model. So I get the interest.
And it’s a beautiful watch. But it just doesn’t do it for me.
I also had a chance to try this on in Paris about a month ago...
...and it did absolutely nothing for me. I respect what they did in regards to developing the hi-beat movement but the watch as a whole made me feel the worst thing which is indifference. Not that I will ever be offered one anyway but I think this is the ...
I have to agree. I love Rolex but there only two I’d be interested (and unlikely to get)
- titanium YM and Le Mans Daytona. Otherwise thankfully I feel like my Rolex collection is complete.
