My unsolicited hot take - doing a yearly set of discontinuations and releases is dumb. While its a moot point since I can't afford or get the opportunity to purchase a Patek even if I wanted to...I haven't really liked anything they've put out since they shelved the 5196...

Only @Neville Southall will be able to pull this chunk of bullion off!

 

[Neville Southall]

All underwhelming.

I wonder if Rolex is making this thing with actual expectations to sell it, or if they’re just taking the piss and seeing how moronic their successive releases can be while still suckering in idiots.

Can you f*cking imagine how heavy this is going to be? How loud? How intolerably obnoxious? Jesus.

Has anyone been offered or seen a titanium yacht by an AD?

 

[Newcomer]

Oh, Davide.

 

[Neville Southall]

Rumor is that Oris is releasing a new, redesigned Aquis. Let's hope it's cool, because everything I've seen so far has been absolute garbage.

Jean Todt, he’s responsible for Journe’s centigraphe… My sister knows him through Ferrari.
