Oppenheimer was ponderous Oscar-bait. Barbie was just bad. The best movie I saw in the past year was American Fiction, a hilarious and touching satire/family drama. It is the only one of the three that I would gladly watch again.

Its close relative the Oysterquartz Day-Date is on my wrist as I type.

I find it a very attractive "different" Rolex design, one that works better in gold & stainless than many other watches do. The major problem doubtless the Q word.

Here's a deeper dive: https://goldammer.me/blogs/articles... Datejust was the,Rolex terms: very very rare.
