Hot Take (but not really): Stop comparing to Rolex
In response to those enthusiasts and/or collectors that can't stand Rolex and cannot understand why they are priced so "high" or are considered to hav...
commented onPSA. This is the only "angle" that shows how big/small a watch is on your wrist. All other pics/variations are moot. 36mm "explorer" for reference.·
I dunno...I think the steering wheel shot or the lap/crotch shot with the watch slightly out of focus does a pretty accurate job of displaying the size of the watch. 😂

I think that is relative to one's finances and/or one's level of degeneracy. For me, I'm figuring out a way to justify (read: use convoluted "logic" and "reasoning") a Zeitwerk.

Your arguments are uninformed. The "Mercedes hands" are what others started to call it, not Rolex, and it has nothing to do with the car company. It was likely a specific design choice based on longevity/strength needed for the lume fill. Also, the Apple logo was a specific design choice based on clearly differentiating the apple logo (actually it's second iteration from the original Isaac Newton one) from being mistaken as a cherry. Hence my statement stands that if Rolex comes out and explains why they intentionally have two bubbles of the same color touching each other, then it would be a design choice rather than in my opinion an unintentional aesthetic flaw as I had mentioned.
Regardless, I don't care a huge amount about it as it's not a deal breaker and only mentioned that it is something that I cannot unsee once seen. You do you and I'll do me. I'm disengaging since I feel that this may devolve or become unproductive.
