- Reminds me of the time I bought a couple of comically-awful watches on AliExpress to 'gift' a couple of QBNers. They were HUUUGE. Never sent them in the end.Nairn
- Can't think where they got to - I expected to find at least one of them in my desk drawer here...Nairn

Traded my original Tangente winder against a little upgrade recently. I've wanted a GMT for a minute, and considered the Zurich but still love the simplicity of the Tangente.
for the collectors here - I went through Chronext for it, which was a surprisingly good experience having never bought a watch over $300 online. I opted for picking up at one of their boutiques which turned out to be in a WeWork in Toronto which was a bit of an odd experience, but their customer service and follow through was pretty amazing considering I got the watch through them via an AD for over 2k less than msrp before my trade.

- It's been interesting to see how some of the bigger, more traditional watchmakers are taking on the smartwatch thing. This is pretty classy.ben_

Rolex Unveils New Diving Cuckoo Clock Capable Of Working Up To 3,000 Meters Underwater
GENEVA—Touting their new timepiece as a marvel of modern horology, watchmaker Rolex unveiled a diver’s cuckoo clock Thursday capable of keeping accurate time at undersea depths of up to 3,000 meters. “Whether you’re surveying the depths of the Mariana Trench or just taking your submarine out for a spin, the waterproof, pressure-sealed Oysterquartz clock makes the perfect undersea companion,” a press release touting the product’s specifications read in part, noting the combination of craftsmanship and technology that allows the clock to stay accurate to within 100 milliseconds, the detachable hook that easily attaches to standard mounts of most watercraft, and the ornithologically correct cuckoo on its machined steel extension armature. “When you buy a Rolex Perpetual Cuckoo Sub-Mariner, you know you’re getting the most durable, highest quality clock available, and one that will long outlast others in its class.” Rolex announced that the clock would make its public debut in the next James Bond film.

like the styling... but like most watches these days, based on a £4 quarts movement.
Might as well by a broken vintage watch off eBay for £10 and fit in a £4 miyota movement....

- no but that strap makes it look like a Gucci clone.fooler
- A bit. Hands and day are very different.mandomafioso
- Strap can be changedpinkfloyd
- I think it does, but there are so many that have the pseudo diver look...formed
- Rolex' Submariner is an Omega and Blancpain clone. This Seiko looks like a Seiko to me.gonzalle
- There's nothing pseudo-diver about it, it's a Seiko diver's watch, a 7000 series by the looks of it.ben_
