To me perpetual calendars and chronographs can never look refined as designs no matter who makes them, there is simply too much going on. That is why a Nomos or similar time only watch looks better as there is clarity, white space and clean lines.

I realise this may not be a common opinion but as an older person I can only admire the craftsmanship of such complicated watches as I can barely see what they are trying to show me.

I think the regular black dialled Milgauss along with the black dial ExpII are the most underrated watches from Rolex

It's a spectacular looking watch, just a little "out there" for my taste :) Handled the black dial/green crystal in denmark last week and I have to say it had me seriously tempted, but I always go for the boring choice :D

I kind of agree, especially with that jumble of fonts. It gets even worse when they use numerals instead of indices

Its so unique! Its literally the first Rolex (other than the everose daytona) that Ive been visually struck by.

Betel, you're in real trouble lately, aren't you?

I recognise the symptoms...
