I don’t think it’ll cause much shock when I say that the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Chronograph’s looks are an acquired taste. For many I think that would be putting it mildly, and for a few more they’d probably rather burn their devices than see any more of this-but for me, despite its quirks, despite its oddities, the Excalibur Chronograph is a strong guilty pleasure, a definite must in the hypothetical ultimate collection. Let me explain why.

I have this watch in steel… it’s the center of my collection. The RD78 Movement is incredible, but a little loud. What I love most about this watch… it doesn’t pretend to be anything other than what it is… bold, in your face, love it or hate it. It’s the honey badger of luxury watches!

My dad would stop in Wempe on 5th, to browse or drop of a watch for service. He'd ask me, a teen, if anything new caught my eye. One did... a fine maker (can't recall) was having fun with elongated numbers, in a gently whimsical font. The salesman smiled, took it out, and asked my dad if the young man wanted to try it on. I did, but was a little shocked when they insisted I did. My gosh, other than play-wearing my dad's watches, this was my first new watch try-on. It was heavier than it looked, it's cost was as well. I've lost my youth and a lot of my eye for whimsy, but I can relate to this watch, yes.

@theflocculated 3 жыл бұрын

Let alone the pilots and the real professional diver, others of us might not even reached the bottom of the swimming pool while wearing a sea dweller. Let’s not talk about the chronograph as almost 90% of us not owned a racing car or having a track day. I believe we will acquire the watch that feel right n looks gorgeous in our eyes. The watch will whisper to your ears saying that “I’m awesome n you knew it”. This careless whispers that’ll haunted one person to buy a Sub or a Daytona even you’ll only use it once in a blue moon. So in a conclusion, this watch is not talking to me..maybe someone else. Or maybe the whispers kind of “nah you not qualify to own me..move along” LOL. Well this rant is the result of wfh during this pandemic. Wish all of us safe from this covid and a bright happy day ahead. Good day gentleman.

@none3763 3 жыл бұрын

I taught my daughter about speed of sound and light during a thunderstorm using a chronograph. calmed her fears of storms and sparked an interest in science. not what omega had in mind when they built it, but it came in useful, with not a rocket or racecar in sight.

@trevormtb9372 3 жыл бұрын

Looking for watch suggestions - I need a dress watch, ideally under $150 but possibly up to $200 (including strap, if necessary). Needs to be 34-38mm. Not scared of quartz as long as there's no second hand but ideally manually wound. Looking for a stainless steel case (NO gold plate) and a white dial with blue hands, although that is negotiable. Timex Marlin would be perfect if the numerals didn't look so dated. Any suggestions? Im watching a Seiko 6600-7339u on ebay currently. If I dont get that, I like the look of the Islander isl-32 but I know nothing about the brand so that feels like kind of a gamble

Question: is there a performance benefit or penalty to using a micro-rota vs a full-size rota. I understand from an aesthetic point, showing off more of the mechanism, but does this come at a cost of winding efficiency?

@AstraWerke 3 жыл бұрын

A micro rotor needs to be heavier to achieve the same result, because the rotors weight is closer to it's rotating axis.
