··So on and so on and scoobie doobie dooRolex achieved the longer power reserve by making a main spring with less torque (and a throw away barrel) that required thinner escapement parts that hold less lubricant, thus needing more frequent service (did I get this correct, watchmakers?). The 8900 is heads above the 3235.
That black dial probably looks amazing in real life.
The Omega twisted cases with polished edges are so beautiful too, with angles that flow and keep the eye moving around the whole watch. Compared to the straight lugged Oyster Perp that looks slab-like and doesn't sit as nicely on (my) wrist.
I'm glad there's a brand like Rolex that exists to keep the hoards distracted while I can get my watch from Omega.
Thankfully Gear Patrol hasn't done an article about Planet Ocean being superior to Submariner. Sshhh.

How dare they relegate the Speedy to the floor in that photo!
TBH I thought the article was going to be about the Speedmaster as it’s so handy on a daily basis, timing egg boiling, vehicular speed, thruster burns, etc., etc.

·100% in agreement. And while I agree that the new AT dials are beautiful, I also find the older “teak” style dials to be just as attractive, especially in the vertical orientation.

·BUT can you use a mower whilst sporting an AT?
