Okay, there’s no way that the Rolex 16610 Submariner could possibly be a Hidden Gem, right? The most-iconic, end-all dive watch…a hidden gem?

    As a watch enthusiast with over a dozen automatic and mechanical movements, I regularly wear a $20 Casio and have just purchased my first high end quartz watch. There are extreme benefits, and I am coming around to quartz actually being a superior mechanism...because technically it isn't even comparable. Quartz is king. Automatic and mechanical are beautiful and artistic, but simply not as technologically advanced.

    Tag Heuer is so underrated in watches. My Formula 1 watch I was purchased back in 2006 as a graduation watch. It still works to this day because you cannot go wrong. At the end of the day, they are good watches and affordable. If you want, you can go with an upgraded Carrera that will be my next one. I like the Formula one but the Carrera will be my next watch.

    Please help and put both the Tudor GMT next to a Rolex GMT, both watches shown from the side, so we can see the difference in their thickness. Most Tudor GMT owners complain is that it is too thick. The Rolex GMT is 12mm thick, while the Tudor GMT is 14.6mm. So the Tudor GMT is 2.6mm thicker than a Rolex GMT. Thanks.

    214270 MKII is the best Explorer ever released. That said, given the history of the Explorer line it makes sense why a lot of buyers would shop the 36mm, but I'm quite confident down the line the MKII is going to have a very serious following.

    Benefits to a little problem (more friction) fixed by service of your watch every few years. At the cost of additional parts, more complicated movement, thicker movement, increased price and watchmakers must learn new mechanism. Im not sure its worth the hassle.
