This week, Rick and Ripley pose the question: Are the most sought-after timepieces really the most satisfying to own? This inquiry naturally sends them tumbling into a detailed exploration of Rolex watches. From emotional connections to popular models to the harsh truths of purchasing for popularity rather than practicality, the conversation develops into a quest to assemble the least popular Rolex possible and to monitor its performance in the resale market.
Segueing to a discussion around the roulette-inspired Perrelet Turbine Casino, they then examine the recently launched Formex Essence 39. Appreciating that sometimes the cleverest upgrade is understanding what features not to alter, they provide an insightful commentary on the essence of watch evolution.
