The bezel reminds me of the diff. gears I used to turn, gear cut, grind, gear grind and finish grind for buses.

But whats the deal with the 24 hour disk? In case you forget that 4 comes after 3 and before 5?? Or in other words Why not just a window?

This is too much to swallow!
I wouldn’t give it up though.

“antithesis of under the radar” 😁 I find it pretty accurate! It must be worth half a kilo,at least.

I'm not a fan of the extra crowns/valves

I'm fine with snowflake hands, but it feels very incongruous when they are combined with circular and triangular markers.

I can't even debate this "snowflake hands" discussion for I've never learned why the Tudor hands are called "snowflake hands."

I don’t think I’ll ever like skeleton watches though as they fail the functionality test.

I may have to eat my hat. I want to see this in person. Ha, ha, like that will ever happen.

Looks like a cross section of a Hydramatic transmission out of a 1949 Oldsmobile!

I don’t know..I think the snow flake hands looks more contemporary and easier than today’s“hot dog + meatball”or“old time microphone with a joker’s hat”Mercedes hands. you can’t even tell what shape is the whole thing from distance,a takeaway ice cream maybe?

I really wouldn’t wear those Rolex voluntarily, unless the movie directors really invite me wearing them in those though guy movies.🙄

At 322 grams, the gold Rolex Seadweller is just under twice the weight of an iPhone 13...

Because it sounds better than "square blob hands" maybe?

These are very nice but too limited,too expensive.
This is what Cartier has been doing with their good ones.
I guess it fits the title,
“other’s love,the other majority others scratch their heads”watches.

I read the company is being sued. After looking at this watch, a potential customer had a nervous breakdown, and now they are on the hook for a lifetime supply of sedatives.

I just looked up that watch on the TAGHeuer website. Those things are $138,000? WTF?

You have to pay for the privilege of wearing something so hideous……some might say that is sufficient punishment for bad taste

Beware. I have my fire suit on! 😉

I tried the early Bond version. An amazing watch but….i don’t get the HEV. I simply can’t, couldn’t and won’t. Omega has its version of the Rolex cyclops. I simply don’t understand. How amazing (at least for me) would all the iterations of the modern Seamaster be without that damn “mole”?
