1) Piss-stain patina; 2) 39.7mm, which is the watch diameter equivalent of being 5'10"; 3) aluminum bezel; 4) do we need a fourth reason to hate this? No. Hate. Hate all the way from Narnia.

Just passed on a Bear Grylls Luminox, it didn't come with directions on how to use the crown, there were no directions on their web site, and it wasn't until after I sent it back that I saw a YouTube video explain it. Nice watch, but oh well...

Just got this teaser. Should be here next week or the week after. Super pleased. The textures came out better than expected. I’m glad I didn’t do the guilloche dial.

Thanks! Yeah Anderson would be awesome to get something from but I never see newer ones pop up used. I think they a much sexier version of the patek world time.

I love that collab they did for the world timer with Asprey. That is in my top five favorite watches ever.
