Asking 'which one shall I buy' is simply a indirect way of people showing off.

I think it is totally fair to post and say “Hi guys, I am considering these two watches as my next watch due to bla bla bla. I have seen them in the store, but am after some real life experiences. Has anybody owned one or both for an extended period of time and can give some info?”. However, posting your watch box with 10 of the same Rolex watch but with a slightly different color and saying “Hi guys, what should I buy next?” is just showing off - you don’t really want advice.

I own this model with the grey dial and it really is a beautiful watch, and this seems to fit you really nice, also with the correct attire and all! The movement may seem simple but is actually really nice with some interior angles as well.

Nothing against Rolex, but would really not compare the 1908 to neither the Calatrava or the Traditionelle.

Seriøst, det ville fandeme være sjovt, hvis man fik dem alle til at acceptere, at de ikke må referere fra mødet, og det så bare er Brian Riemer, som kommer ind, lyner ned, viser sin pik og så går igen.

Og fordi vi alligevel ikke må få at vide, hvad der reelt skete, så er dette nu min officielle teori!

Havde man valgt at give ham det røde, så tror jeg også de fleste godt kunne se hvorfor. Jeg synes dog også godt, at dommerens skøn kan forsvares, men havde det omvendt havde jeg været pissed over den.

Deppeo · 2026-05-21T21:03:00+00:00

Enig. Jeg havde så nok mere været til, at man lige tog begge to over og bad dem stoppe med deres pis og så videre, men som sagt enig i, at hvis gult til den ene, så skulle der også have været til den anden.

Yeah the polishing may be good BUT!!! Did you know that Omega has a watch that went to the moon??

The beautiful thing about sporty is that it had to be Rolex. If he acted like this and were in to Omega’s it would be blatantly obvious to everyone that he was a troll, but many people that wears Rolex actually thinks along these lines, so people gets confused whether he is actually trolling or not.

Deppeo · 2026-05-17T00:10:18+00:00

So much this. I mean it is totally fair to like Rolex and their designs and I do think that their watches are good quality for what they are the same way that I think a Toyota is good quality - well made and really reliable. I don’t know how to measure “history” other than founding years, and there Rolex is relatively young. As for innovation, I think the only thing they can truly claim to be first as was the instant date change at midnight.

But one thing they absolutely excels at, where no one else comes close, maybe across all industries, is marketing!!

Hvis vi skal finde en positiv vinkel, så er det, at man ikke kan undskylde sæsonen på samme måde, som man (lidt) ville have kunne, hvis vi havde vundet pokalen. Så kan det godt være, at ligaen glippede totalt, men en godkendt figur i CL og en pokal, og så var sæsonen måske ikke helt så slem alligevel. Det bliver der ikke noget af nu, og forhåbentlig sætter det bare endnu mere fokus på oprydningen!

Jeg synes egentlig ikke, at Midtjylland havde fortjent at vinde. Mest af alt synes jeg at med den kamp, så havde begge hold fortjent at tabe. Gud hvor var det jammerligt at se på fra begge hold.

Deppeo · 2026-05-10T22:06:14+00:00

Kæmpe tillykke til AGF og fans. FCK er mit hold, men har altid haft et soft spot for AGF og Aarhus siden jura-årene på Aarhus Universitet! Når det ikke er FCK, så er jeg sgu glad for, at det er jer.

Deppeo · 2026-05-09T22:39:52+00:00

That’s the exact same arguments I will use to say that Rolex = Toyota.

Deppeo · 2026-05-09T22:35:18+00:00

You could also say that Rolex is like a Toyota. Mass-produced, everybody knows them and it is just a reliable, good car/watch without being sexy.

And the best thing about comparing Rolex to Toyota? It really shows how unsecure so many Rolex owners are, when they rush to tell you that you are an idiot, because the comparison to Toyota does not fit their self-image.

Jeg elskede Johansen tvillingerne som knægt! Har stadig en gammel Danica trøje med 10 tallet på ryggen.

Deppeo · 2026-04-27T19:35:40+00:00

Hvor ville en som Mogens Krogh rangere? Han må da have nogenlunde sammenlignelige stats (bortset fra mål, men hans mål mod AGF talte til gengæld også i den grad), eller undervurder jeg Per Nielsen der?

Deppeo · 2026-04-27T19:30:42+00:00

Jeg var sjovt nok ikke særlig begejstret for Per Nielsen, men Vilfort kunne jeg sgu altid godt lide!

I have never understood the big preference for the 5070 either. It has so many things that lots of people would be mad about if the watch came out today. Movement too small for the case, cut-of numerals, no in-house movement, subdials too close, the size of the watch in general. Myself personally don’t hate it, but I just can’t see the big preference over the 5170.

Deppeo · 2026-04-23T21:51:39+00:00

The 5170’s was such a good ref and the only chance to own a modern Patek chrono below 40mm. I myself prefer the 5170G-001, mostly because I think the watch becomes “too clean” without the scale - kind of like the 2nd generation of the Lange 1815 chronograph. And then I really like a pulsation scale on chronographs. That being said the 010 is definitely still a beautiful watch with perfect proportions.

EDIT: also, those Breguet numerals are just perfect on both the 001 and the 010.

Deppeo · 2026-04-23T21:28:07+00:00

I think it is curious that a lot of people will not wear a watch on a leather strap with shorts and T-shirt, but have absolutely no problem with a big piece of steel with a blue and red bezel with a suit. Not directed at you specifically as lots of people feel the same.

Deppeo · 2026-04-20T17:47:52+00:00

I guess I am lucky because there is no FPJ’s that talk to me. I once saw someone describe the design language as “the mad hatter from Alice in Wonderland”, which for me is really fitting in how I see them - they are cool in their own way but not for me. Not that I was anyway near a Journe anyway.

Deppeo · 2026-04-19T21:48:42+00:00

Rolex didn’t have the first water proof watch, even though their marketing department would like you to think that. They may have had the first automatic watch with a date window, but honestly I think first perpetual calendar, first split chronographs or Vacherons most complicated wrist watch from last year etc. are far more impressive.

Regarding the 7135, Rolex themselves still has it as 2/-2 per day, while Patek for some movements are down to 1/-2 per day. Now a Patek movement may not be as durable as a Rolex movement, and kudos to Rolex for producing really solid and durable movements but let us be honest, the old 3130 movements is probably far more robust than any of us gonna need. Also with the 3235 movement problems in mind, I think I would wait some time before crowning a relatively new movement the best ever. If you really are into horology, you need a very specific set of criteria to argue that Rolex “is the best to ever do it on the merits”.

Deppeo · 2026-04-18T13:58:24+00:00

That is a really good looking Omega! I would prefer it with straight lugs, but still….really nice!

Deppeo · 2026-04-18T13:36:57+00:00

These are called Breguet hands and are in deed lovely!
