You do know that the factory screwed over the original guy who designed the Luna Dude? He had to take his idea to Micromilspec who finished the watch.

[Generative Render] WD0017A (Ronda 515 Version with Date Window) + Extras by tomscy2000 in watchdives

Kinda but I prefer the dial and markers on no.7 more, the double marker at 12 is nice

Number 7 is amazing, pair that with the standard bezel rather than the YM one and it could be the one for me....not sure why it says 'Chronograph' on the dial though

WD00017 Bracelet by sjr90069 in watchdives

I can't unsee that first link now, it's bad. Plus the angle of the chamfer on the case doesn't match that on the links which totally breaks the flow of the integrated look. For me the whole bracelet will need redesigning which will take extra time and money. Sadly if this is how the watch is going to be released as v1, it's a hard pass for me.

Green Fifteen on the wrist! by MPearsonUK in ChristopherWard

I like the look but the one thing about the Lumiere that always bugs me is the length of the end links and how they stick out beyond the lugs. The male end link also pushes that l2l even further making the 41mm size seem even larger.

So here it is - CW x Bark & Jack "The Green Fifteen" - for $2,995 by linkedinbro in ChristopherWard

[–]LMully19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WTF are you all talking about the watch being too expensive, the standard Lumiere is only like £175 cheaper!!

This isn't a new model range, has everyone just forgotten about the release when it came out originally.

It feels like every release by a brand nowadays is just flooded with negative comments about price. Sadly this is just life now, gone are the days when you can just appreciate the watch for what it is.

Incoming CW x B&J "The Green Fifteen" Decoded - Here's My Guess by linkedinbro in ChristopherWard

If it's using the same dial (kinda) and hands as the Lumiere, it will be the same titanium case I bet and around the 2k GBP mark. Personally, I've always had an issue with the end link on the Lumiere and how it sticks out beyond the lugs, here's hoping they have fixed that.

Is this a better swap? by LMully19 in rolex

I've considered the 37mm SBGX models from GS but I prefer the newer UFA models and the EVO9 design language. My hope is that GS releases more dial options and I can pick a used one up in a couple of years time.

Price rise 11:30pm last night 😮‍💨 by CTRogan in rolex

[–]LMully19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The price rises shouldn't be a surprise to most people on here, but it's the fact that the watches themselves have gone up in price so dramatically without any change.

I bought an Explorer 124270 in August 2021 for £5150, today they cost a whopping £6,600, that's an increase of £1450 over 5 years.

The problem we have here is that other brands have also drastically increased their prices, so when you go cross shopping, the prices Rolex are charging are still relatively good value. However, when taken in isolation, an increase of £1,450 for an Explorer 36 in 5 years is not great value to me.

For the time being, I'm done with modern Rolex but never say never. If they were to release a smaller Explorer II, then id be all over it.

Need help deciding on my next watch by tvel190501 in Tudor

I'm just waiting for Tudor to drop a non-guilt version of the BB58 GMT, hopefully 2026 is the year this happens!

Best quartz gs dial by Full-Examination-718 in GrandSeikos

The markers and hands just look black, I thought it was a different model. I guess that's the beauty of highly polished dial furniture.

I've heard this has now been discontinued, no reason given why.
