Quite like it but the difference in case size will make it very different in character from the watch it's based on.
I really dislike the use of the terms 'surgical stainless steel' in anything not related to surgery/prothesis. Call it 316L if you need to be specific, or stainless steel.Quote:

It is a homage to 3139, that is the first thing they say.Quote:

Speaking as someone who would dearly like a 3139 at the right price I'm relieved that this effort is unlikely to increase the number of rival bidders.
Or maybe a 4647 :rugby:.
I wasn’t aware of the historical Rolex so I like the watch for what it is. I like it a lot.
Horrible lume!
Thanks for posting great looking watch. Hopefully Rolex won’t make any otherwise it will be £8k and a waiting list a mile long.Quote:

It's a Gruppo. 'Nuff said.
How can they possibly say it's based on the Ref. 3139? There is nothing remotely similar, except maybe the fact it ticks:dontknow:
