    For a while, I had the SBGV005, which has fully polished sword hands against a champagne dial. It was astonishingly legible, even in very low light conditions. The quality of the polishing was such...

    How much are you wearing the other three and how much would you wear the Rolex?

    FWIW I think the Bluesey is one of the all-time great pieces of wristwatch jewellery, but I still wouldn't do the...

    Had the chance to see these two plus the LHD and 39mm lined up side by side the other day. While the dimensions of the 39mm are great, the sheen on the dial and sunburst brushing on the bezel have...

    Would have liked to attend but my San Martin SN021 was in for service at St James's at the time.

    Only two scenarios here, either the watch is f****d or you are. Have you checked to see if you've got a pulse?

    It's a competitive field, admittedly, but for me the OP wins by a whisker, the crown at 12 not quite generating the same frisson of excitement as the Explorer's upside down triangle.

    You don't seem averse to a homage so how about San Martin? Their VFM is ludicrously good.

    Exactly my thoughts, unfortunately. Over a wetsuit, while diving, I guess it wouldn't matter, but who honestly wants to walk around with a 16.5mm thick hockey puck on their wrist?

    Not sure anyone really buys a Rolex over a Tudor for the reasons you gave. They buy a Rolex because it's Rolex. The only difference between the 'mass-market' and WIS Rolex-buyer is that only the...

    No strong view one way or the other. I'm not a fan of it on the BB58, I find it makes it look little twee, and prefer the crisper look of the blue. On the other hand, on the Seiko SBDX012 MM300...

    I wonder what the design and development costs per unit work out at for Rolex. At production levels of 1m plus per year, let's be generous and say a tenner?

    I also suspect that the average "Swiss...

    Are homages allowed? If so, try the San Martin SN021-G-B1. It's superb. I have one and have had two Explorers. I prefer the San Martin.
