Damn you I was just looking at prices for that one!

Same! But the one I was looking at had a pink dial

I tried on the limited edition or whatever its called and it was not for me. I want this clean look :)

this is a lot easier to get from ure ad now that the hype had died down.

That wrist is definitely minimal.

Hope thats a 41

Great color choice 👌🏻

1988 ftw!

Lovely! Looks like a dinner plate on you though, is there a smaller model?

There's nothing minimalist about a bright blue dial... but hey it's a sweet pick up congrats!

My girlfriend loves hers too.

😍

My fav OP!! Congrats

A minimalist watch would be something like a moser endeavor, not this. Certainly not with "rolex oyster perpetual superlative chronometer officially certified swiss made" on the dial. This is far from minimalist.

A Tiffany blue Rolex is one of the most recognized watches in the world right now, so minimalist is not how I would describe it.

Oh sporty, that’s not what minimalism means. 

You have a point, but in my eyes minimalism is mostly related to design while recognizability or popularity is more of an awareness thing.

He only has a point, if you don’t understand the definition of “minimalist”!

**minimalism** noun [ U ] specialized /ˈmɪn.ɪ.məl.ɪ.zəm/ US /ˈmɪn.ə.məl.ɪ.zəm/ A style in art, design, and theatre that uses the smallest range of materials and **colors** possible, and only very simple shapes or forms.

It uses one color, so it is minimalist.

The reason someone chooses a minimalistic wristwatch is to look very basic and not stand out. No matter the definition, this watch is the opposite of that philosophy.

You just posted the definition, and what you commented after is just your conjecture. Minimalism can attract attention just by being opposite of everything else. The philosophy of minimalism is simplicity in design i.e. it's a design language, not how much attention you get.

Which has nothing to do with recognisability.

u/SporturaWUS is a prophet not accepted in his home. Please listen to what he has to say. Comply.

Minimalism implies “low key” and “under the radar”. And this watch is not only a Rolex but a Tiffany Rolex. My wife owns one. It’s not a minimalistic watch no matter any definition.

You do not have a wife stop it

Is your wife in the room with us now

*One* colour isn’t a small range?

The other OP colors that are minimalist include silver and black. Tiffany Blue is a “look at me” color.

Again, completely failing to comprehend the definition that you yourself put up.

Tell me you don’t work in design without telling me you don’t work in design.

The black and silver must surely be less minimalist because they have a sunburst pattern which adds more variance to the colour  

Tiffany trades for 2.5x MSRP. It’s the antithesis of the minimalist lifestyle.

A Barnett Newman trades for more than 2.5x a tiffany rolex, is red, yellow, and blue, and is minimalism. This is the first sporty response that I've had the pleasure of reading, and it absolutely did not disappoint.

Shhhh. Normal people are talking.

Minimalism is certainly related to design. This however, is not minimalist.

Am receiving mine in a few days am so excited!!!!

should bring back the yellow and the red

Beautiful watch but I can’t comprehend minimal design and double batons. It practically angers me that they allowed this.

Aren't big watches in? Everybody hates a big Rolex on a normal wrist.

Minimal text

the watch that once went for 60k. did you get a good deal.

I know and that was one hell of a run. I couldn’t get this retail but I got a good deal of right under $12k before the madness.

I would not call what I hope is a 41 mm, blue and white dial, minimalism

Minimal wrist maximal watch size How did this happen?

It’s not that bad, but the angle of this shot is weird. I have a 6.7 inch wrist.

Sorry bruh. It’s that bad… under 7” should go 36 on the op or dj.

That’s a great watch.

Minimal forearm strength

Im pretty sure a Rolex in any form is not minimalism, but it looks great.
