And to that end, why oh why do Rolexes need some sort of nickname? Does it somehow make them adorable, or justify the purchase, or make their owners feel as though they are part of an obscure, elite TRF club because they have a watch with a pet name?JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Tue Aug 08, 2017 7:56 amIndeed. That's a terrible name. However, picking the worst TRF nickname is akin to deciding which turd tastes the worst.Chocodove wrote: ↑Tue Aug 08, 2017 7:51 amIt's a bad nickname (though i kinda like the watch), but nothing is worse than "bluesy".JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Tue Aug 08, 2017 7:48 amThat's actually one of the only good pictures I've seen of it. Also, "they" call it smurf because they're infantile retards.
Somehow my proposed YM2 nickname didn't stick: Clownmaster.

I wonder if it has inner chamfers...Seppia wrote:Same thing I thought.mikeylacroix wrote:Looks like a monta
On a side note, I never understood ceramic bezel inserts either.
They look like an overly expensive and highly impractical answer to a question nobody ever asked.
I think the old aluminum bezels look significantly better.

I was hesitant to get a ceramic SubND out of concern for the bezel material. After 3 years of 4-5 day a week wear it's proven to be a great decision. YMMV.Seppia wrote: ↑Tue Aug 08, 2017 1:57 pmSame thing I thought.mikeylacroix wrote:Looks like a monta

Re: New Tourby Lawless Dark Blue 42
To be fair, it's the gmt2s that have shitty wearing inserts. Periodically someone posts about their scratch triangle in between the constant "ceramic is awesome" posts. I've yet to see a Sub with the same problems.R@cerx wrote: ↑Tue Aug 08, 2017 5:14 pmI was hesitant to get a ceramic SubND out of concern for the bezel material.

I've banged mine a few times and always take a look expecting a horror scene, yet never a problem. Let's hope it stays that way.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Tue Aug 08, 2017 5:22 pmTo be fair, it's the gmt2s that have shitty wearing inserts.

Really it's just number wear that's the problem. At least on the sub the numbers aren't large, so they are unlikely to get rubbed. The old six digit turn o graph was the worst though. The black DLC on the WG bezel was sooo delicate.
