Have no idea why Rolex would use the oysterflex instead of the gator strap as they did before for this watch. Oysterflex is cheap. |

Oysterflex , a rubber variant but as far as I know it's more durable than any leather you would throw at this watch because Rolex being a Rolex doesn't use a regular rubber band , makes it hardened using some mixtures to make it as durable as a regular steel strap

porshah, is that considered one of the finest watches available?
I know it's extremely good, but whats the opinion of the watch by the high-end collectors. |

To make a simple analogy it's like Porsche makes really nice high end normal cars (for the most part) whereas Pagani is not something most folks would entertain when looking at vehicles.

Hell I don't know, although that would be an interesting conversation. Just picked something rare and obscure.
I'd be interested to try and line up some mainstream nice watch manufacturers and find their car equivalent. Just off the top of my head: IWC - Porsche? Omega - Audi? Panarai - hmmm Graham - Morgan? Patek - Benz? JLC - BMW? Just getting the convo started, trying to keep in line with quality vs peers, brand image, etc.

IWC - Porsche I agree wth though now they're doing some Mercedes branded stuff, but the Porsche IWC collaboration created the stuff I like.
Morgan I'd relate to Roger Smith? but maybe Graham - that's a tough one. |

Most of the mainstream high end watch manufacturers do a crazy end of the market watch like minute repeaters or Grand Sonnerie etc...
From 300k to over $2million. Check out this JLC all $2.5 million of it, happily they give you 2 daily beaters to go with the Grand Sonnerie. http://www.ablogtowatch.com/jaeger-l...-in-the-world/

The thing with Jomashop and other similar online stores is many if not all of the watches they carry are "grey" market. Meaning they're typically not an authorized dealer for the various watches they sell. That's why they're able to give really good deals on watches which typically only sell for retail or near it. The warranty is usually through them or through a third party like Assurant.
I bought a few watches this way through various grey market dealers. So far no issues with any of the watches from Movado to Maurice Lacrouix. |
