    Calling all Plastic / Rubberclad Owners (RG RC) - Past / Present

    I've owned several versions of the rubberclad and have never had issues with the bezel. Have had mixed experiences with movement reliability tho

    Hublot Big Bang V6/6.5 Comfort

    the cheapest option would be to go with a custom leather strap. gummy and rubber are both equally uncomfortable because they're both the same material. The issue is the rubber being too hard and causing the clasp to dig into the bottom of the wrist. If you could swing it, I'd try to get a gen...

    What were some watches you got, that you completely hated after actually getting them

    Rolex Day-Date I & II / Datejust I & II

    I used to own the one with the dial you're talking about. There was no lume at all on the numbers and the lume on the hands was barely visible.

    Would you wear a perfect smartwatch over a luxury watch?

    I personally would never do it, but I do wonder if these new smartwatches might bring about the current-day version of what the quartz revolution was back in the day. It'll be interesting to see how the Swiss deal with this (if at all).
