Yes, it is unfortunate comparing the pre-bankrupcy vintage company to the current production conglomerate. What I have difficuly stomaching and what brings the overall opinion of the brand down are the over the top and mostly tacky designs in a few of their lines like the subaqua noma. I understand there is a subset of the population which is drawn to these designs, but some are so over the top it's diffucult to take them as anything close to an affordable luxury brand seriously as this transfers across the entire line to an extent, even to their more conservative sub and daytona homages which are not bad for the price.
You don't need to know anything once you freakin' see them!
maybe without all the diamonds on the case, but it's still very gadget in my opinion, it's not my cup of tea
I think this one is towards the top of the list of useless complications. It goes right up there with those novelty roulette wheel watches....
That is very cool. Not my cup of tea, as you say, but I do appreciate it nonetheless.
You effectively have 3 different watches with this "useless" complication.
Which is EXACTLY why complications exists at all.
but the Countdown Compplication is impressive
I never understood that one. I was always under the impression, that its birth was rooted in cheap fakes, to simulate the moonphase, but I actually have no clue how or why it came to be.
Maybe if you're an addicted party animal with no schedule whatsoever, you wake up at some point and by looking at your watch you'll know the time of day/night? Maybe better than a Meister Singer one-hander...I never understood that one. I was always under the impression, that its birth was rooted in cheap fakes, to simulate the moonphase, but I actually have no clue how or why it came to be.
I prefer the Franck Muller Vegas, but anyway also Jacob Arabo (Jacob & Co) make roulette watches
