I really like the Duro; I have one with a white dial, and it looks fantastic for the price! Plus, it has that reliable Casio build quality. However, it's the largest watch I own-it's huge! At 44mm, it's practically the size of a bin lid, like wearing a UFO on my wrist. It's definitely a relic from the 2000s when watch sizes ballooned to enormous proportions. I wish they made a 39/40mm version with the same overall specs.
I wear my 116613LN daily for work, parties, dinners, swimming even take it to the gym. The steel sides are just as tough and I clean mine with cape cod every 6 months looks brand new and hasn’t lost an ounce. Can’t believe the steel Sub second hand is only 2-3K less, crazy hobby! Love Rolex 👑
I really like that Citizen puts long silicone bracelets on their diving watches, because I have a wide wrist and I have a problem when I buy a watch that doesn't have a bracelet long enough for my wide wrist. Citizen, congratulations on that solution. Well done.💪💪💪
I love the Aqualand, but I'm not sure about the lighting duration? There are many comparisons on the internet that only show the luminosity for a few minutes. What does it look like after a few hours? When I wake up in the night, I want to know what time it is. For example, whether it's worth falling asleep again or whether it's better to get up straight away and go to work. Can you still read the time on the Aqualand after 6 hours, for example, or can you no longer see anything at all?
I own and prefer the SS Submariner. Two-tone watches just scream old man watch. And as an everyday wearer, the two-tone polished center link limits rugged use due to scratching.
I really like it, looks really cool. The oxidation is a lot less than I thought. I own a couple bronze watches, one of them oxidizes black like yours, but a lot darker mostly on one lug, which I probably touch the most when I use the bezel. The other only oxidizes like speckled it’s stunning.
A Rolex 126200 is Datejust with a domed bezel and with either a jubilee or oyster bracelet. Whilst a 126235 is with the fluted bezel. With either reference you can swap bracelets without it affecting the resale value of the watch as long the swap is carried out by Rolex. The difference in reference only has to do with the bezel type.
Bummer you don’t like it. I’ve had mine since 2016(?) whatever the first year they came out was. It’s been all over the world with me. Been in multiple oceans. Up and down mountains. It’s aged with me.
Awesome watch , Brings back awesome childhood memories when i got exactly the same watch for Christmas 1979 - 80 but unfortunately lost it years later ! Im not a watch collector but im going to WANT this again !!
What an awesome review absolutely love mine 116613LN, the gold is out of this world, not the most discreet watch but that’s why I have the 216570 Polar dial Explorer 42 to compliment it!
Like both,i think its only a personal choice,i prefere the steel gold,make more elegant,sporty but classy,but if i see somebody with the steel model i will apreciate it the same..you can send anyone
I have a glycine airman chief in white dial 40mm and on my 16.7 cm wrist the lug-to-lug of 50mm fits well. The curved lugs do help to hug the wrist. the 24-hour reading does require some effort in the beginning to get used to, but after a while it becomes intuitive. Hour-hand on the right side, morning (am) time, hour-hand on the left side, afternoon-evening (pm) times. The movement is brilliant for the price range. The Glycine was the first watch in the world to with GMT reading capability (rotating bezel), although Rolex improved on it later with a GMT complication (GMT hand). Perfect for collectors.
I have the money for both. Although I would only purchase one. TT and SS. I have a friend who works at Rolex who can get me either watch in 30 days. I can’t decide!?!? I am 41 yrs old married with 2 kids. I am not a flashy guy so I automatically want the SS. But I like the TT look. I just don’t know if I would feel too self conscious in it since it’s more flashy. I don’t like attention. I like to be under the radar. I would also only wear it on the weekends due to my job and area I work at. Im not planning on purchasing multiple Rolex watches. So I want to make the right choice. I like the TT look but I think I would feel more comfortable in the blending original classic SS. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance
I Iike the true 24hr timing aspect of this watch, but the strange counter-balance on that hour hand would be a major bug for me. The lug width and lug to lug also seem a bit too big, for a watch with a 40mm case.
I believe the counter on the hour hand is meant to help you read the 1300-2400 hours. The counter will point to the 0100-1200 hours as a quick reference instead of trying to remember what 1300-2400 hours are.
