Didn't mean to rile up the anti-Rolex crowd. Should I delete the post?
Absolutely not!!! I'm not anti-Rolex.

I admit to being anti- "everything everyone does that is remotely similar to something Rolex did is copying Rolex." Even the Omega Aqua Terra colored dials that came out, admittedly after the Rolex Datejust color dials came out, would have been designed, debated, decided, and scheduled for production before the Rolexes were released. A company the size of Omega doesn't sit around waiting for Rolex and then respond in a week with a similar product. The design zeitgeist of the time is color...

Rolex makes nice watches. No debate. It's just annoying to me when people jump up and say, "Look! this company made a watch with a round dial, a date window, and a three-link bracelet! They're copying Rolex!"

That's all.

Definitely don't delete the post. Refuse to be cancelled by me or anyone else. State your opinion proudly! Tell me to shut up. Without open conversation we'll just be a college campus. Nobody wants that.

If you had told me in 1993 that the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers would have such a strong influence on horology in 29 years... I would have laughed nervously and tried to never speak to you again.

Power Rangers? Those are clearly Teletubbies inspired.

They also announced a pvd tegimented EZM 1.1. I'm very tempted to put down a deposit.

I saw that too but 16.5mm tall and $5400 pushed me away

I want to do a marketing campaign for Hublot.

<Dramatic music with images of Hublot pieces rising out of a roaring fire like hot embers, drifting skyward>

Voice over in an exotic accent:

Hublot. Standing beside the nouveau riche and helping them burn wealth since 1980.
