Almost every person in this town seems to own a watch from this brand. Rumor has it that they make about a million watches a year, which questions the notion that they are scarce or overly exclusive. In any case, it is rather obnoxious to be forced to wait for years for the “privilege” of being sold a very expensive mass-produced item. In many ways, it is the opposite of luxury at least as a sensible person would define it: Luxury is about being awaited, not the other way around. But such is the world that we live in: People who have spent decades collecting these beautiful objects that tick must wait for years to get their hands on certain pieces while crypto-boys and other similar specimens flip them at twice the price in the grey market. Some artificial scarcity must be built into all of this, but the truth is that I still feel grateful that house Bucherer “entrusted” me with this particular one a few years ago.
It is an incredible watch: Rolex´ idea of a bargain. Both a GMT and an Annual calendar (which means you only need to adjust the date on February if you wear it all year long). They make it in all kinds of gold, but this one bearing that absurdly beautiful blue sunburst dial is made of a material that we have come to know as “unobtanium”. You can try for yourself: Unless you are an NBA superstar, Rolex salespeople arrogate themselves the distasteful pleasure of laughing you out of the boutique if you arrive with the notion that you can walk out with one on your wrist. You can set it by using a patented new bezel, which is a fantastic engineering feat in itself. Yes, It is a little chunky and the dial is not an example of the clean symmetry that you would see somewhere else, yes I could flip it for at least twice of what I paid, yes, It spends inordinate amounts of time inside a vault at a place I will not disclose, but when I do wear it I spend hours looking at the way that blue dial plays with light: Sometimes it’s navy blue like a night ocean sky, sometimes it turns into some kind of ice blue mirage. I don’t deny that I tend to wear it amongst other watch geeks just for the street-cred, but I can’t be blamed for succumbing to the petit-bourgeois vanity fueled by Rolex’ alchemic prowess of turning mere steel into glorious unobtanium. Flippers be flippers, this one might stay in my collection forever. At least when it comes to this stupid aspect of my life, I can safely paraphrase that catchy pop tune: I got no money on my mind/no money on my mind/ I do it for the love. #watchesofinstagram #rolexskydweller #skydwellerblue

I was really worried about my CWC G10 British Navy issued in 1990 that stopped working, fortunately it only needed a new battery…
It is believed to have served during the Gulf War, and its battles are not over yet!
This watch was introduced during the 80ties and further refined the typical legible military dials of the British tradition for the quartz age of watches.
