After a whole week of wearing only the #GrandSeiko SBGJ201 I thought it was time for a change. I went back to the trusty #Rolex Datejust as I need all the good luck I can today 🙏 #watches#watchesofmastodon
Now that the weather is getting sunny again here, I can show a little something about my #Rolex Datejust. People tend to think that the cream Buckley dial is just a flat colored dial and they are not wrong. Most of the time it does look uniform. But as soon as you put it in the sunlight, you’ll notice that it has some texture/graininess in the way it reflects strong light. I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of that. #watches#watchesofmastodon

I don’t know how controversial my opinion is but I find the modern #Rolex Air King extremely unappealing. It has lost a lot of the traits from the original looking more like a weird downgraded mix between an Explorer and a Milgauss. And it doesn’t even live up to its name anymore as its design is inspired by a car and has almost nothing to do with airplanes/pilots. #watches#watchesofmastodon
Small treat for the week-end: #Rolex 6244. Mine is a bit different compared to most you might see: it is one from the series which has “brevet +” engraved between the lugs and bears a cross on the crown. In many ways it is the big brother of my Speedking as it is older (1963 vs 1970) and bigger (32mm vs 31mm). #watches#watchesofmastodon
Recent addition to my collection: Two-tone Datejust 36mm reference 16013 with jubilee bracelet. This one has 2 slightly unusual features:
it still has its service stickers with reference on the back
it has the uncommon Buckley dial and even more uncommon in cream color since most Buckley dials are usually white or blue. The irony is that it likely looks less flashy to regular people but probably stands out more in the eyes of #Rolex collectors 😅 #watches#watchesofmastodon
I am generally not a fan of #Rolex. It may sound funny since all high-end #watches are luxury, but Rolex is in its own league when it comes to being overpriced. I also don’t like how the brand treats their customers with wait-list and service. And most of their models are too gaudy to my tastes. With that said, there are a few exceptions and one of them is the Speedking 6430, predecessor to old Air-king. Manual wind, no hacking, tiny (31mm), simple with cream dial #watchesofmastodon

Rolex earns billions every year. Where does the money go?
Shares in Rolex are owned solely by the Geneva-based Hans Wilsdorf Foundation. Each year, the foundation donates hundreds of millions to various causes.
But some question whether the generous payouts for public projects undermine democracy.
Merz kritisiert Sozialreformen: "Nicht in Transferleistungen überbieten"
Weitere Sozialreformen werde es mit ihr nicht geben, betont die FDP. Die Regierungspartei argumentiert dabei ähnlich wie die oppositionelle CDU. Deren Chef Merz warnte vor einem Überbietungswettbewerb bei Transferleistungen.
@tagesschau Diese Aussagen halte ich für richtig ordinär von #Millionär#Merz . Jemand mit Privatflieger und #Rolex am Handgelenk, sollte die Erhöhung vom soziokulturellen #Existenzminimum begrüßen.
Als reicher #Christ, ist ihm #Gerechtigkeit vermutlich scheißegal. Er kommt eh in die #Hölle. Denn eher geht ein Seil durch ein Nadelöhr...

What are your thoughts on the newest Rolex Daytona? (youtu.be)
Not sure how I feel about the Paul Newman style markets on the subdials, but the red 100 on the bezel and open case back are nice touches.
