i tried on a skydweller today (black dial) and it was very underwhelming

very chunky, very top heavy, very cluttered/busy dial

didn't really sit well on the wrist, rather than kind of spreading out across the top of the wrist equally it sort of sits like a brick up top, the rise is really high on it

if they can find a way to get it to the width of a daytona it'll be better but for now the thing is way too unwieldy

give it like a 4/10 overall

I thought it was fun and interesting to wear and I thought the movement felt very robust in that it's smooth and easy to control and you're not going to fuck anything up turning it forwards and backwards through the settings, but I appreciate and agree with the criticism that it's way too big. I won't even qualify it by saying for most people, it's just too big. But if I was traveling internationally frequently for business reasons I could see the appeal and would entertain getting one.

[Anonymous No.18039008]

>>18039007
>A tourbillon helps keep the time.
No it doesn't. It's just a rotating cage that contains the balance wheel, balance spring and escapement system (ie the components that keep the time).
A tourbillon is therefore a complication (a useless one, like 99% of complications).

You could disassemble the parts of a tourbillon to make a regular movement. You don't need the whole rotating cage thing to keep the time, or else every mechanical watches ever made would have a tourbillon. Do you even understand nuances, you numbnut?

That rotating cage doesn't provide an additional function to the watch. Take it away and the watch will offer the exact same type of information.

Honestly the Yacht-Master is a shit-tier Rolex. Just like the Datejust 41 or the Sky Dweller.
It was introduced in the late 80s as a more "fashionable" alternative to the Submariner. Basically a watch for the jet set, fags and women. It pretty much failed and now Rolex doesn't know what to do with this watch, so they just experiment some dumb shit on it : Oysterflex, titanium, precious materials, etc. The YM line is a fucking mess.

The ISO diver certification is total nonsense, they've added all sorts of ridiculous requirements in the last few years. For example, a watch with a 3 o'clock date window is now required to have a lumed indice at 3 o'clock as well.

This stuff just dries up and wears out over time. When you buy old watches the odds the lume still works well is very slim, often the lume will be yellowed and very week and fade fast. Allegedly newer formulations of lume will suffer less from this but it hasn't been around long enough to really put that to the test. That's the cope Rolex is currently using for their lume not being very bright or long lasting on newer watches, they say it's designed to hold up to long term wear rather than short term brightness.

I like how the money that is spent on grand seiko reflects itself in the quality of the automatic movement. It's the best in the world. +/-1 spd for a 6k or 7k watch.

Now i can go spend 10k or more to get a rolex or Omega only to have the movement drift 3 or 4 seconds per day. it won't keep as good time as a grand seiko. These Swiss watches are luxury brands for people who think their shit doesn't stink. If you must have a Swiss movement fine. Get an omega or w/e. To me the quality of the craftsmanship in grand seiko is where I'd like to see my hard earned dollars go. The grand seiko does the best job of translating money into the highest quality.
this fancy stuff is not for everyone. Although. My pick for a rolex would have to be a 2023 submariner. Black dial w/ green bezel. As for an Omega Id go for Seamaster 300m. Theyre all really beautiful. I guess you don't ha e to give a crap about your 3/4 seconds if you want a Swiss movement or are racist against Japs. I'm not though. I'm sorta a weeb and would be happy with grand seiko or Omega. I dont know if I could have a rolex becuase everybody around me would think I'm a big D-bag. But I do like submariner... but they're just so damn polite. Intentionally inoffensive. These are the limitations you get with these big Swiss brands. And one of the reasons I'm content with inexpensive watched. There's much more freedom of expression when you go lower price brackets.

That's actually original thankyou. glad to know you think its pasta grade.

Nothing against rolex. It's an illustrious brand. Did you know thay sir Edmund Hillary was wearing a rolex when he was the first to summit Mnt. Everest. There's your brand credo.

Youknow, I could do a rolex. I'd just have to get a vintage or used one so that I could tell people I got it at a hefty discount. I live in the rural farmlands with lots of country bumkin red necks. A used rolex is wearable by me.

I could get a new Omega but the people around me don't know enough about watches to know what it is so it would be fine.

Well.. I thought he did. That's some damn big rabbit hole I just jumped into.
Apparently the rolex was not the firs t watch on everest 1953. It was a Smiths. I've heard people say it was rolex. That's why I said that. What is with this historical revisionist BS.

I can really see why rolex would want to market their watch as the first to be on the summit of everest. That's a huge deal.

Well, no doubt many other have beem to the summit of everest after the fist ascent but that's not the same.

Did Rolex actually claim officially that their watch was on the summit in marketing or press, or just that it was on the expedition or that "if you were exploring [mount everest]" you'd wear a rolex?

[Anonymous No.18040731]

>>18040598
Hillary had a rolex and a smiths so that if one broke he could use the other as a backup. So there was a rolex on the trip and I believe he even said he enjoyed the rolex, but the rolex just happened to be the watch he left in reserve at camp on the day they made the final ascent. So it's not a lie that they took a rolex, it was suitable for the trip, or that it survived the trip.
