Fair point. I’m more of a 31mm fluted bezel type. But hey, at least it’s shiny and comes in different metals.

I more of a precious metal type

Tangentially, imagine if Rolex inversed it’s two tones—case in gold, fluted bezel in steel. Same treatment for the bracelet. Pandemonium would ensue.

Truer words have never been written. Imagine if the box was also made in Thailand. In that case, it’s not cuckoldry but the old ladyboy reverse Uno. You get what you pay for as they say. Or buy the seller in other words.

Exactly. UMC Manhattan doesn’t even know where Bangkok is. He needs a dealer to give him a paper mock up to prove authenticity.

Some future civilization is going to unearth this bezel someday and speculate that it was a primitive cock ring of little to no value.

Would be a pretty lucrative invention actually. You turn the bezel to 10/20/30 minutes and that is exactly how long you can hold your “breath” and then you have a large “exhale”.

Amen. Full set cock rings all the way. NIB preferred, but mint condition acceptable. Cuckold provenance a bonus.

From what I understand, every Richemont watch in this thread has cuckold provenance

I know it’s the whole point (and I think this is a great watch), but it’s just so dull with all the matte finishes. It needs a little shine.

Wow, really? I love the Tudor's role as tool watch. Too much shine would attract barracuda in the water or the Taliban on land. Love it as is.

Honestly, the P39 has just enough shine for me. The dial and the bezel reflect just the right amount of light (for me, the original Pelagos was just too matte). I also hate PCLs, so I may have a bias. If I got a GMT or Daytona, the first thing I would do is brush the PCLs.

I have found this one to be nearly impossible to take off. The lightness of the titanium, the perfect sizing for my 7" wrist, and the comfortable bracelet with the on-the-fly adjustment system, makes it so incredibly compelling.

I really hope that Tudor continues to use this platform, because I could see myself adding another.

Any of you with late model Rolexes concerned about the amplitude issue with chronergy escapement movements that people are talking about? There was a recent Reddit discussion which is where it was referred to me.

We are now ~7 years into the chronergy era, so I'm really curious as to how prevalent this is and whether Rolex will be able to resolve it without taking a hit to their reputation of making bulletproof movements. Both my Explorer and BLNR are from the 31xx generation so fortunately I have no exposure to this, but seems like this could be a real problem.
