And she said (and I am not making this up!) these famous words about him:

"Yes, he's a monkey - but he's my monkey"

Enough said.......

Sorry JD Broadsword, i have to agree with The Green Trainered One, IWC is much more pleasing to the eye

And he‘s not even mentioning how the movement looks

But the question about being more pleasing is easily replied to:

Brick vs. Brewmond = Brick
Fence vs. Brewmond = Fence
Molehill vs. Brewmond = Molehill ( and I have experience with molehills )

There is no imaginable comparison, where a Brewmond wins.
Take this as a new argument

New strap? It looks like crocodile belly skin, where do you get your straps from, always oem? I've used Mays in Berlin and I've just bought a di modell straps that I believe are handmade in Germany.

JTM

She’s definitely a beaut -{ What’s the diameter?

Higgins

Yes, a new strap and that is from Hermès.

Wife, Hermès Ad and idiot Asp9mm rant about the "impossible" combo black dial - brown strap - but so far it is exactly what I wanted and I enjoy it. I also have a black Hermès for that watch.

The OEM for this watch was horrible. I bought the watch used and it had a new ALS OEM strap which is just bad quality.

I'll have a look into Mays in Berlin.

From my experience, Hermès and Camille Fournet make the best straps, but CF fails to supply with constant good quality. Some of their straps are just ridiculously nice, some are really garbage from the leather.

Mays make some lovely straps. Along with pouches and rolls.
To be honest, I've found it's not always the most well known or expensive straps that are the best. Straps Co make brilliant leather nato, and I have a couple of French artisan strap makers who's products are beyond reproach. One uses leather from old ammo pouches.

Nice looking strap Higgins! And I think it works really well with the black face. Nice watch and a good combination! {[]

Asp9mm

Dark brown works. With your lack of taste, I was expecting you to stick a light brown strap on it.

Higgins

Say please and I‘ll do it ) )

Asp9mm

Black or brown, black or brown, black or brown?

So, Basel fair has started and Rolex has been presenting their novelties:

The Yachtmaster ceramic bezel is now in 42 mm


I have already emailed an order to my AD but then discovered that the case is whitegold and not steel

Higgins

The GMT Master Steel in now only available in blue-red with Jubilee bracelet or blue-black.
The steel model with the all black bezel is discontinued



There is also a very nice variant in whitegold with meteorite dial (I love meteorite dials....)

Higgins

The Sea Dweller 43 mm is now being offered in 43 mm (absolutely shocking imo - in a bad way)
