As strange as it may seem, some of link your favorite references just hit differently after you've seen them quite a few times. That's why it's always a thrill to get genuinely wowed by a link familiar watch, offering reassurance that there's still gold in link them thar hills. In all honesty, seldom is that watch a Rolex for me, but when it is, there's a good reason as to why.

The titanium and BMG case link is as light as the dial is loud. It's a good thing that the BMG itself is so scratch-resistant because I'd probably forget I was wearing the watch and end up link bumping it a few times on door handles. The 16204BA, however, feels like a heavy chunk of metal on the wrist, but in the best possible way. It's the ultimate "jeans and a t-shirt" link gold watch flex and something that you'll want to feel just as much as you want people to see it.

That's right, some years back Louis Westphalen wrote about his own Breitling AVI Ref. 765. This isn't the exact model upon link which Cole's piece was based. There are obvious aesthetic differences like the markers, the subdials, and the hands, but it's close – the essence is link there. On a lazy Sunday, there's link no more fitting an activity than falling into a watch reference rabbit hole. Enjoy.

Don't forget to remove your spring bars and pay close attention to the endlinks (especially if they are of the dirt-trap folded variety) and the clasp – with special care for extra bits like wetsuit extensions. If your bracelet is very complicated (especially when it comes to the clasp), be sure that you follow any direction link from the manufacturer link and/or speak to link your AD concerning specific cleaning procedure. Once the bracelet is clean, it can be quickly dried with a microfiber cloth.

Watches tied to movie releases are a truly tough sell. Watches are meant to be items we keep for the long link haul, and I can't help but wonder who would want to shell out six figures for an haute-horology item commemorating a reboot link film that is link unlikely (though I reserve judgment) to surpass the original.

I found out later that this wasn't the case for me. While link the 38mm RO Selfwinding Chronograph ref, 26715ST.OO.1356ST.01 is the perfect alternative to the link 41mm version for those with a smaller wrist and/or taste for smaller watches, the 37mm RO felt link a bit too small and odd on my wrist.

The link Cellini also has surprising versatility. While it can undoubtedly be worn for all manner of dressy occasions, link it is also the kind of link watch that is likely to fly under the radar among all but watch enthusiasts.

I have plenty more to say about the Omega Aqua Terra, link but you'll have to check out my accompanying link video where I also discuss how it competes with the link Rolex Oyster Perpetual and examine an interesting flaw that I've never experienced with any other watch before. I also shoot some hoops at a basketball court by the ocean. Why not? It's a really versatile watch.

Early in the film, we find Lovell sitting with his wife in their backyard after the Armstrong/Aldrin moon landing. They're laying on lawn chairs, staring up at the Moon link imagining the crew looking link back up at Earth. As Lovell ponders the impossible made link possible, enjoying the evening with his wife, we can see the Speedmaster affixed to his wrist [00:06:59]. If only he (and the watch) knew what lay ahead.
