As a general note, Rolex two tone does not have 18k on the back of its watches. It does have stainless steel between the lugs

Thanks for the boost! We're over $1k in donations today and all to play for.

I think this is the first Dolce Vita I've really liked the look of, largely because it doesn't look an elongated Cartier Tank. It leans hard into the art deco heritage (that Longines is completely entitled to) and I think it does it well

I think the strap is crazy but that's probably the point. Quick change means you can tone it up or down.

Loved your review!

On the Datejust, bracelet looks wrong, serial looks wrong, bezel looks wrong, back looks wrong.

I am not as familiar with older Cellinis but given the seller, I'd stay away.

Oh man, I feel this. I didn't grow up having to worry about food....but my parents did. So food security is never far from my mind. The largest annual donations I make annually are to local food banks.

Food in bellies first and then problems can be solved.

What a plug! I love it!

My wife’s purchase was discreetly slipped into a plain white shopping bag which leads me to believe that people are becoming more cautious about what they are wearing or carrying. Going to enjoy Watches in the Wild while I can.

If there's something indelible about human nature, it is the need to show off. Those same people who demand white shopping bags to stash their luxury store purchases into are the ones who wear the biggest things on wrist. As such, I fully expect to see watches on wrists for as long as I intend to do this column.

I do love your meandering stories about wandering in and out of luxury watch stores, though it saddens me somewhat that you don't enjoy the Calibre de Cartier diver. There's a general lunacy that happens whenever Cartier decides to make a toolish watch of some sort (the Ronde Solo and the Calibre de Cartier diver are standouts) and I have a soft spot for whatever hilarity ensues because of it!

And I'm not going to touch that live wire.

There might be children here! 😂😂😂
