Slightly Off Topic: If u want expensive, just grab a March issue copy of Watch Time magazine and read the article about the new Patek Nautilus. No movement complications, all stainless steel, no gold or any precious stones - totally unchanged watch from previous edition: $17,000 USD. In the April issue of Watch Time, there is a letter written to the editor complaining that Patek "has some serious nerve asking for so much money for such a nothing watch".

I was looking today in the April issue of Watch Time magazine at the bookstore... There is a feature article on this fine watch! You might wanna go and pick it up!

Great Oris!

I think that you're right. The next best were those Poljot 3133-powered versions - but those have not been available for at least 3 years or so.

Not without modification. ETA movements and 15xx series Rolex movements are not the same size.

Such loveliness in a small package makes me go crazy! Utter beauty! U gotta love the El Primero, the first automatic non-modular 3 register column wheel chronograph movement.

Great comparisom pics/review. It is always nice to see any form of Rolex GMT watches in action. PS. The GMT is my all-time favorite watch!

Great review for a lovely watch. Pateks are often overlooked in the rep game.

Wow, I am shocked! I, too, was under the impression that the kind of ceramic used for watches was tough. My only 'hands-on' example is the ceramic cooking knife that I own: I've dropped it many times, it is tough as nails.

Casual but firm:

I have no idea, but I would assume that it is plastic with some glow in the dark properties.

Yeah, the problem with digitial is that some sensors and some in-camera software are quite noisy if you take long exposures in the dark. Each camera is different. I know that shooting in RAW and using some sort of noise reduction in post-processing really can help.

Interesting ideas. What a nice watch. It seems that Ceramic is the new Carbon Fiber/Noryl/Resin/Tegimet/PVD/Anondized/Titanium material ---> Ceramic = En Vogue.

Lookin' good. It's hard to get the lume to come out in pics, unless there are layers

I have not seen those models, but they are intriguing to say the very least. B&R seem to be on a roll as of late. Cheers

Man, that's a lotta horsepower in one pic!

You should ask on TZ, there are a few dudes in China who specialize in revamping stretched Oysters/Jubilee bracelets.

Doesn't the 3717 already have a slight AR coating?

Nice trio. You've got a lot of possibilities for timing events

I'd hold out on the dials, too. It's best to buck up and buy a genuine one.

Damn right!

I'm ready to see it!

While it is true that 1520 was not chronometer-rated, it has found itself occasionally in COSC-dialed watches due to Dr. Frankenstein, not Rolex. Once again, anything is possible but nothing is 100% true

Amazing unit. Wish I had one of these devices out here when I'm figthing through traffic!
