Thanks Sloan...it's now gone and I have to get another. Take care, Bill

Hey Amin, thanks man! I enjoy having a nice solid sports watch I can take anywhere. Kindest regards, Bill

Pim, let me know if you do! They're nice big solid watches, but the Easy Diver is so well designed that I often forget I have it on my wrist ... even though the band on mine could be a tad bigger ... and it will be as soon as my new band arrives. Wonderfully different when a watch and the watchmaker are contemporaries ... Take care, Bill

Thanks AL... it's no fun if they all look alike, and the anglage is the finest I've seen. Take care, Bill

Thanks Lucius! I hope to find more RDs but they're being discovered and getting snatched up & more expensive! Take care and be safe. Bill😷

Thanks Colin, the research was as much fun as getting the watch! [...well, almost..] Take care, Bill

Hey Chris, thanks man! It was a choice between ordinary and extraordinary, and I chose the latter...😉Take care, Bill

Thanks NRS, so far it's been keeping perfect time and it doesn't seem big even though it's 46mm! Take care, Bill

MinusED, all of the RD watches I like are from the period when Roger Dubuis was with the company. Their latests watches have lost their way for me. Take care, Bill

Thanks Gilberto ... the alternative is mindless boredom. Take care, Bill

Yeah Bruce, now that I have a sports watch I can hang out with the cool kids... I enjoy it and not worry about hurting it! Take care, Bill

Nice ones SouthNC... My Rober Dubuis Easy Diver, cal RD14, has all those features except the date. Cheers, Bill

@@watchartsci Really like your watch - the movement is so impressive. I see it as more of a high horology mission / diver's watch. I was thinking in terms of a "general" all-around luxury sport watch.

That Easy D checks a lot of boxes for me, and is overlooked ... really liked the ca. RD14. It's a big boy at 46mm, though.

Eddie Landzberg, anytime Bill gifts himself a watch, we all get a gift as well. Look at this beautiful & informative video he created, just amazing! Another video I’m looking forward to is Bill fighting a bear with his newly acquired “bear fighting watch”, stay tuned & keep those cashmere goats out of the way 🍿.

Marc J...I'm selling tickets to the bear fight ... but it's really more horseplay with our bear[s] than a fight. I'd never want to hurt a bear... behave yourself! Take care, Bill

WatchArtSci 😂

Zahid, take good care of yourself! We're going to have a weekly stream on Saturday at the same time-0800 and 1600 New York time. Get better and better, and I'll be looking for you Saturday. Kindest regards, Bill

@@watchartsci Thank you so much. Catch up with you on Saturday, wish you a have a good time ahead. 👍

Hey Leigh, thanks man! It was a fun one to track down ... and fun to get it! Take care, Bill

Indeed, Jeffrey, "Roger Dubuis" that... Thanks man. Take care, Bill

My pleasure Junior! See you Saturday! Take care, Bill

Hey Baron, that RD 821 sounds very cool. I need a new strap for my Easy Diver, and I'll probably have to go to the boutique in NYC and have them order. Roger Dubuis watches are on a different order of horology than Rolex ... it may give your Rolex an inferiority complex; so be nice to you Rolex. Take care and stay safe, Bill😷

@@watchartsci Do not follow my example. I decided to look on the internet for a replacement strap. Be warned non of them fit. Only the genuine Roger Dubuis strap fits and is of superior quality. It's expensive but when you consider the original price of the watch it is worth it. Good luck from a Roger Dubuis fan.

@@baronsilverbaron757 Too late ... I already did. I'm trying to carve it into shape for use until I can get the RD one ... thanks for the heads up anyway! Take care and stay safe, Bill😷

Hi Dominick, the only diving this watch will do is if I slip and fall in a puddle. The carbon fiber in the dial is a first for me ---a Kevlar vest for my wrist. Take care, Bill

@@watchartsci I definitely feel the same about diving, hope both of us can stay out of the puddles. Enjoy pal

Hey Tommy, thanks man! Take care, Bill

Hey Tim, thanks man! Take care, Bill

There you go AndyCandy! I almost never use the second hand ... and it can get it the way of design. Some act as though checking to see if the balance wheel is oscillating is advanced watchmaking! Congratulations on your K10 ... it too has the RD 14, correct? Take care Bill

@@watchartsci thanks! Indeed, exact same movement, gold rotor and the superb 'rounded anglage'!

@@watchartsci Hi Bill and Andy, what is K10 meaning? i found local shop here Roger Dubuis Easy Diver K10 ES40 for only $4000 something...

@@seba888 model number

@@watchartsci Thanks Bill. What is the difference between K10 and not? I found 40mm with K10 and 46mm without K10 I think the K10 is without sub second dial ? 💁🏼‍♂️

Well put, Dad! What fun is it to live in a horological hyperbole? Finding out everything about this watch will take a long time. Take care, Bill

Thanks Marc, that's my bear-fighting watch... Take care, Bill

WatchArtSci, Bill, your watch is gorgeous. Please don’t let anybody’s negative comment to effect you in anyway. You made a perfect choice with this watch. It seems like it was designed for your wrist. Love everything about it, I’m very happy for you, congratulations once again!

Hi Joey, the Sympathie chronograph and Patek Philippe both used that same Lemania I think. (Not sure.) Take care, Bill

Hi Kevin, thanks man. Roger Dubuis was the consummate watchmaker, and the movements he designed are still used by the RD brand today. However, I wanted a watch with a movement that was as close to the hand of the watchmaker as possible, albeit probably the most simple design Dubuis ever conceived... but when I saw the finger bridges with the rounded anglage, engraved gold roter, and the elegant swan neck regulator ... I was certain of my choice. Take care, Bill

Hi Hugues, thanks ... now I have a big tough watch I can wear to demonstrations! Take care, Bill

Calvin, it's a big watch, even on me with a 19cm wrist ... it's all in the attitude. It might be cool on the outside of a sleeve. Take care, Bill (www.dapperq.com/2014/02/ask-dapperq-should-my-watch-fit-under-my-shirt-cuff/)

I bought the easy diver exactly the one you have except it's 40mm, fantastic watch, love it.

Thanks GMT Master ... affordable and the Roger Dubuis box is ticked too ... the last collector who got a sports watch! Take care, Bill

Roberto, yes indeed, the Roger Dubuis Easy Diver would make good company! Take care, Bill

Tatsuo, you have to shop around and make sure the strap is the right one (along with the right size), but I found plenty on eBay. You have to check their length and be certain they were made for EZ Divers. Take care, Bill

@@watchartsci Thanks Bill.

Hi Radu, love that EZ Diver, and I do still have it. Had to get a band extension (the one I had was shortened by the previous owner.) It's such a great watch. I have the RD 14, and it's been great. Nothing wrong with Lemania, but between an RD and Lemania... I'd take the RD. Take care, Bill

I appreciate that, Clyde. I was aware of the Easy Diver, but I didn't want one if it just had a "fixed up movement" not wholly originating with Roger Dubuis. Once I got it cornered between the development of the RD 14 and the takeover by Richemont, I knew I had what I was looking for. You can can get much better and more affordable watches that way ... the Poinçon de Genève was just the cherry on top! Take care, Bill

Hi Z ... well I sent off for a bigger strap, but while the watch is 46mm, it's super comfortable and an excellent timepiece. I've got a 7.5 inch wrist, and that may make a difference. Take care, Bill

Stefan, it's not just the Geneva Seal, it's the way it's executed in the Easy Diver cal RD 14. It's more about the watchmaking talent of one of the world greatest watchmakers ... seal or no seal. Liking the style more all the time, but it took me a while to understand it. Take care, Bill

No Stoneitful, mine is all steel.(I think...). How do you like it so far? Take care, Bill

@@watchartsci It comes today by 4:30 by Fedex

Hid the beret 451, and they didn't know what hit them! However, I do need some tips on what to do with a moveable bezel...only moves ccw... Take care, Bill

@@watchartsci . Smart move, beret-wise. Don't worry about the ccw, it is by no means counter productive. You'll figure it out. Cheers.

Hi Abdul, yes, I enjoyed them too and like you look forward to Saturday. Take care, Bill

Taidou, the best plan is to use Google or Chrono24 or some other search engine to find ones for sale nearest you. For example , here's one in the United States for $6,800 (www.chrono24.com/rogerdubuis/easy-diver-se40149-0-stainless-steel-45mm-watch--id15434810.htm ) ... which is fine if you live in the U.S. or you want to buy from the U.S.. Here's one from Japan on eBay for $5,698. Shop around! Take care and be safe, Bill😷

WatchArtSci thank you Bill! Do u worry possibility of getting unauthentic watch of it? I couldn’t find too much information about this beautiful piece to do my research. Probably due to lack of total numbers of them and company rebranding. I totally agree with you and believe it design is far better than Rolex sub, omega seamaster, etc at least in my view.

Yes Taidou, you have to be very careful and learn as much as you can about the seller and watches. There are crooks everywhere. Here is a link to a place that sells replicas of Easy Divers: www.watchma.me/roger-dubuis-easy-diver-replica/ A crook might buy a replica and try and sell it as genuine. So be careful! Take care and be safe, Bill😷

WatchArtSci wow ! Definitely need to be careful. Thanks for the information! Wishing you the best !

Hi Forbin, this quote sums up nicely what I think of the RD14 movement-'Rounded (not sheer) anglage, “black” polish, jewel countersinks with mirror sheens, and immaculate swan’s neck regulators embody the best of the Geneva tradition.' The high quality finishing is on top of the exceptional quality of the materials (at least until Richemont took over) and the pretty architecture of the movement itself (revealed in the RD 821 despite its economized rotter). It's clear why Jean-Marc Wiederrecht, a friend of Dubuis with whom he worked on a perpetual calendar and retrograde mechanisms, held Roger in such high esteem. -As for your carrot to be the first KZfaqr to reveal what he paid for a watch, it must be the quarantine effects of not getting a haircut making me appear to be a hayseed who just fell off the turnip truck... but since I do not want you to curl up in a corner and pout, I will reveal it! It was $(,&5,€¢£[ .... that blasted auto-correct screwed it up! Take care, Bill

@@watchartsci Well then - that Dubuis is no debris!

Thanks David! Hope to see you Saturday at the live streams! Take care, Bill

O Bud, it's only ugly to the most narrow minded, committed conformist ... and that doesn't sound like you! Take care, Bill

WatchArtSci Beauty attracts the eye but personality captures the heart, and personality the RD Diver has plenty! 😍

John, you just got a second hand for an Easy Diver? Take care, Bill

@@watchartsci That was weird... Got a second hand (used) Roger Dubuis Easy Diver SED46 14 C9.N CPG9.13, but mine doesn't have the gold rotor, but is an RD14. I'll see what RD tells me, once I send it in for authentication.

@@JohnDoe-ub8fq Some of the newer Easy Divers with the RD14 did not have the gold rotor. Shouldn't be a problem. Take care, Bill

Hi Oscar... glad you were amused.😉 For some reason, I've abandoned unboxing ... too awkward, I guess. Yeah, 46mm of 'Macho,' and wearing a beret, I need all the macho I can get! Take care, Bill

John D., it's steel .. the bezel was advertised as WG but I'm not sure. I don't think it is, and the seller isn't sure either-we both saw it advertised as WG on a watch with the same reference number but neither of us cannot tell...the whole thing is a work of art. I'm even surprised... Take care, Bill

Frantisek, be nice and un-narrow you view of watches. I'll show more pictures of the movement where the real beauty is. In the meantime, enjoy your just-like-everyone-else's collection. Take care, Bill

@@watchartsci being nice isn't dismissing his collection without knowing anything about it. He saw your watch and listened to what you said. In my opinion he was thoughtful in his remarks, and you were rather defensive. Having also watched and listened, I have no doubt it was a bargain, and I'm very happy for you.

Matthew Davis ... Frantisek and I have been in discussions for years (literally) and he's frank with me and I with him. Ponder this for a moment... New born babies, as a rule, are as hideous as a wrinkled prune with misshaped heads and bodies ... but we all coo and proclaim "adorable" when they are anything but. The Eskimos have a great solution to the problem of honesty without insult-they say, "How baby!" The great majority of watches that cross my view are both mass produced and largely as boring as an insurance seminar, but to an owner of a newly acquired watch, I have the commonsense to say, "How watch..." and find something about the watch that is unique and interesting. To say one is being "defensive" to insult is so simpering and hackneyed a comment that one easily can see it as an apology for rudeness. However, like I said, I've known Frantisek over the Internet for years, and I've failed miserably at teaching him manners, but he's not mean-spirited, just lovingly clueless. Take care, Bill
