You can get the Aqua Terra for a lot cheaper than that. At MSRP certainly the Rolex for the bracelet and brand. I really don’t care about the Aqua Terra’s marginally better movement given the much inferior bracelet.

The only way an Aqua Terra at MSRP kind of makes sense is assuming you can’t get a Rolex at MSRP.

It’s not, this is a cheap Barton rally strap. It came with an awful orange strap but I ordered the bracelet from Farer so should be here soon.

No, it’s a caller GMT.

AP at the same level as Tag, as god intended.

Look Rolex is bottom tier. If you went to a Rolex restaurant, it doesn’t matter how good the food was, if the service was as fucking shit as a Rolex AD you’d leave a zero star review.

They have great products but an identity crisis. They sit between omega and tissot, and have a huge collection which is just too big.

They have some great and iconic designs but on aggregate when you see their website or at an AD it just looks like a mess without much cohesion.

Their recent focus on only a few models is paying off though.

I have a lot of watches and I don’t like setting the date. AM/PM is annoying.

Aesthetically I also think most date windows are half assed, but sometimes they are done well and enhance the overall dial.
