·I'm referring to the original, oil-filled Ressence, by the way :-p
If they redesign the movement so that it too can work submersed in oil, and put a couple of screws in (kinda like a cars engine) for an oil change...

·I guess that is the problem with all smaller brands. One of the reasons I am not the biggest fan of small independent in-house movements. Service ability in the future is questionable.
That and insufficient free cash is also why I don't already own my dream watch - the FP Journe Chromometre Bleu.
Okay, it has nothing to do with worries about future serviceability... I simply can't afford it... but during afternoon daydreams, where I imagine I own it, the issue of serviceability has crossed my mind.

·In Hodinkee's defense, it is cool to see a LE that isn't lazy and goes beyond a colour change with a new take on an existing model. Not for me, but it is a fun piece for the very rich guy who already has 2 ressence 😀

Take a watch that majors/relies on legibility and make it less legible. Genius.

·It's a good marketing angle for watches, since they're no longer needed to tell the time, might as well ensure they hide it.
It certainly is brilliant. The longer it takes you to determine the time - the more time you have to appreciate the watch. 😜

·None of them have the movement in oil. Pretty sure it's impossible to have the movements in oil due to drag/friction.
EDIT : 'when' as in what someone else implied, I dont think they will, I think their watches are insane...

Not really sure I'm comprehending why superdoc would post such a thing. Seems pretty mean spirited. I'm no fan of the Ressence LE, and I agree Hodinkee is often not much more than a gab-rag, but, so what? And... this image? Really? Why? I think it's a pretty bizarre dig.

·I had to look up superdoc aka rjkama on instagram to find this post.

Agreed, it's a bit mean-spirited and not really related to the watch in question beyond making a personal dig at the founder/CEO. Besides, I would think Kevin Rose probably had a lot more to do with this collaboration than Clymer did in this case...
