路Not overly concerned about the aesthetics of them. I find them very useful - form follows function.

路Rolex lovers! Let's unite in NOT telling the world what WE don't like about brands other than Rolex! When we see a contrary word about the watch we love, swallow hard and consider the source! Somehow, when someone criticizes, say, Rolls Royce, it seems to sound as though they know what they are talking about, and that their criticism seems somehow, what's the word? More credible!

Hmmmph!
You call that a blueberry?
This is a Texas blueberry. This is a four-year-old bush. Photo was taken this evening, just a few moments ago. To be fair, it was moved and transplanted last fall.
The nursery which sold us this one claimed it was a variety which thrived in Texas climate. Do ya' think we got took?
I love blueberries, but it appears we'll have to continue to purchase ours. We've had about six total from this bush in former years. Even the pitiful few it produced were filched by the mockingbirds before they completely ripened and we could get to them.

First photo which shows Texas overlaid on the map of Europe. We live right on the top of the "h" at Munich.

路Not keen on the protruding Rolex magnifier but when an integral part of the crystal they are OK. Like on the Airman.

路As much as I really don't care for the aesthetics of the cyclops/wart. The older I get the more I wish my watches had them.

路路Omega Qualified WatchmakerSeen a fair share of these Airman (I feel like writing "Airmen" here!) with replacement crystals and cyclops that don't quite line up over the date window. Which is of course, the worst of all possible outcomes.
These can easily be made to align properly...if it's the correct crystal, it's just a matter of rotating it in the case.
Cheers, Al

It's a dopey look. Like bifocals sliding down the nose of your watch face...only where you can't reach in to push them up.
