[Rolex Datejust vs Omega Aqua Terra] Which one? in c/watches@style.land
[–] 4look4rd@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

You can get the Aqua Terra for a lot cheaper than that. At MSRP certainly the Rolex for the bracelet and brand. I really don’t care about the Aqua Terra’s marginally better movement given the much inferior bracelet.

The only way an Aqua Terra at MSRP kind of makes sense is assuming you can’t get a Rolex at MSRP.

It’s not, this is a cheap Barton rally strap. It came with an awful orange strap but I ordered the bracelet from Farer so should be here soon.

No, it’s a caller GMT.

[Farer] Picked up a new travel companion (alien.top)
 

Last watch addition of the year. I fell in love with the photos but this specific version was a limited edition and sold out. I saw a listing on eBay but it quickly rose to beyond what I wanted to pay, a few days later and I got it for well below MSRP.

I’m still waiting on the bracelet but so far this is exactly what I wanted ever since I sold my Nomos club.

This watch seems like the perfect travel companion, it’s so versatile with its proportions, dial, and specs. It’s also not terribly expensive so I’m taking my chances with it in a trip to South America.

I’m noticing a lot more posts about farer lately and honestly they are knocking it out of the park with their design language.

Look Rolex is bottom tier. If you went to a Rolex restaurant, it doesn’t matter how good the food was, if the service was as fucking shit as a Rolex AD you’d leave a zero star review.

[Longines] How do you feel about Longines as a brand in c/watches@style.land
[–] 4look4rd@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (4 children)

They have great products but an identity crisis. They sit between omega and tissot, and have a huge collection which is just too big.

They have some great and iconic designs but on aggregate when you see their website or at an AD it just looks like a mess without much cohesion.

Their recent focus on only a few models is paying off though.

[Question] Why do most watch people not like the date complication? in c/watches@style.land
[–] 4look4rd@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I have a lot of watches and I don’t like setting the date. AM/PM is annoying.

Aesthetically I also think most date windows are half assed, but sometimes they are done well and enhance the overall dial.
