Some people swear by the fluted and jubilee combo. But imho, the dial is the show and having a fluted bezel with an intricate jubilee makes it looks a little ‘busy’. Also this combo makes it much more casual which is my fit 99% of the time.

All titanium too! It’s so light

Hublots and RMs don’t do it for me but I understand that tastes change in this hobby

I’ve had no issues with my navygraf MN. Love it!

It’s great. It’s built like a dress watch but I think it’s even better worn casually. It’s light. The band is super comfortable and soft. The spring drive movement is mesmerizing and as you can see the Zaratsu polishing on the hands are stunning. I do find winding the watch a bit unusual. It feels like it’s rubbing against the case and not a regular tactile winding feeling. I had to look it up to make sure I’m winding it properly. Does anyone else find this to be true?

Late to this discussion, but I'm typing this out to manifest it into reality. My next watch, and most likely, my exit watch to complete my collection: The new Rolex Explorer I 40mm (224270). Going to try my hardest to get this through my AD to go through the whole experience.

This is a bummer to hear. I just got the Yema Navygraf Marine Nationale (posted it on WRUW), and it's been fine. so far. I will keep an eye out on the date window, but so far, haven't seen anything inconsistent
