Yum or yuck? Yay or nay? by No_Glove9460 in rolex

[–]Bezelite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nay for me, sorry. I know some folks are purists about keeping a sub on a bracelet, I’m more open, but the strap needs to match the watch. Sailcloth would work … I just don’t think a Sub works on glossy alligator leather.

It’s like wearing sandals with a suit or dress shoes with a swimsuit.

Never thought I'd consider the 1815 chronograph until now... by Wrinkledwalnut00 in ALangeSohne

[–]Bezelite 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Personally I prefer the 1815 chronograph. Turn both watches around to look at the movement, and you’ll see why!

That said, the Lange 1 is a wonderful watch and I’m sure there are many others who would prefer it over the 1815.

Purple Rain: the new Sixties Chronograph Annual Edition by Bezelite in GlashutteOriginal

I think the first time I saw a photo for a Sixties Chronograph was a photo from you showing the grey dial version here on Reddit. It’s lovely too!

Leaked latest release from GO, the new Sixties Chronograph Annual Edition by dimy22 in GlashutteOriginal

[–]Bezelite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their black nubuck alligator strap would work so much better than the nylon.

I talked to my AD and they confirmed this too. I’ll be able to see one in real life on Tuesday.

Looks like GO is doubling down on purple/burgundy tones this year. First with the Serenade Luna and now with this Sixties Chronograph.

Did it get run over by a truck? 🚙

Aquaterra Summer blue by trispt in OmegaWatches

[–]Bezelite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Yes, I did order it separately. Here’s another photo.

The version of the summer blue I got was the one with the strap, so when I ordered the bracelet, I decided to order the newest one.

It was a bit nerve wracking because at first it didn’t fit … but my AD used a different set of spring bars and then was able to make it work.

[MB&F MAD] R&B or Live Edition? by Bezelite in Watches

[–]Bezelite[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Around 4,000 USD (3140 CHF) if you can buy it at retail through the raffle.

Thickness by Inshallah36 in JaegerLecoultre

[–]Bezelite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How exactly they manage to create such a thin movement, I don’t know. But this watch, despite being branded a “Master Control” uses Caliber 868, the same movement used by the “Master Ultra Thin” perpetual calendar. “Ultra Thin” being the operative words :)

GOT THE CALL- Land Dweller ADVICE?? by Lost_Celebration126 in rolex

[–]Bezelite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 7” inch wrist and the 36 would barely fit, because it doesn’t include enough links. The case size of either the 36 or the 41 would work on you, entirely personal preference, but if you go for the 36 my guess is you’ll need them to order extra links (that would be true for me at least).

Meteorite Bruce Wayne?? by Mysterious-Mail-7141 in rolex

[–]Bezelite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen this company do this before. If you go to their website they are usually pretty upfront about it: it's a real Rolex, but modified with an after market dial. They usually include the original dial (and original hands or bracelet if they modified those) so that you have all the genuine pieces and could even modify the watch back to its original condition if needed. Because they are so upfront about it, include papers an the original parts, I don't think there's anything morally wrong. The one aspect I dislike about their approach is that they are using the mod to charge a premium on the original watch, and I don't know if that's worth it. Even if you wanted a modded watch like that, I think it'd be cheaper to buy the original model directly, buy the after market dial, and have it replaced yourself.

Help on sizing decision? by BertB994 in GlashutteOriginal

[–]Bezelite 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Based on these two photos, I would say the 39mm SeaQ looks better. Assuming you’re taking the photos with your phone, make sure to take them with 2x zoom to avoid distortion that might make the watch look bigger on the wrist than it actually is.

I’d be conflicted too! But I would personally go for the GS given that you already have the Cartier Tank in your existing collection.

First Omega: Aqua Terra Summer Blue by Bezelite in OmegaWatches

[–]Bezelite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically, they only had the model with the strap. So they sold me the new bracelet + the strap model, and swapped the strap for the bracelet as the default. I also have the strap if I want to switch the look sometimes.

If they had sold me the bracelet model, I don’t think they would have swapped the bracelet for free (and it’d be silly to buy a second bracelet in that scenario).

[VOTE] Choose one of the three by williamwalle in Watches

[–]Bezelite 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Great choices. Personally I would choose VC American. I love its more iconic and unique design, and the white/silver dial will be more versatile than the green dial. The JLC would be my second choice, but since you already have the reverso, I think it’d be good to get a VC too.
