·...on the dials of my Speedmasters.
One of my biggest criticisms of the faces of Rolex dials is how wordy they are. Some of them have six or more lines of bragging.
Please. 🫨
Who are they telling?
You bought the watch, so you know. Well, maybe you need to read it every day, but I don’t.
Friends, family and lookyloos? Very few people ever ask to see a watch you’re wearing close up, so it’s not for that audience either. Besides, you can tell them yourself, if they ask to examine it.
Buyers are the audience, I think. People looking in the shop cases or on eBay. It’s to sell the thing.
So, it’s advertising. Permanently painted onto the faces, defacing the faces, of your favorite watches.
The AML and the words Omega Speedmaster are all you need to know, I’d prefer to think. A simple label.
Anyway, doing it that way makes for what I think is a much more elegant dial. 🥰
So, please give me shit, cause I’m obviously asking for it. (You here—>
<—me here.)
It’s a Friday afternoon here, so this thread is a perfect weekender. A squirrel, I’m sure must be to blame.
