Domed bezel is much much better than the smooth bezel to me, in terms of aesthetics. It’s what stops me from buying an explorer.

1·1 year agoIt’s too big for me. I wouldn’t wear a watch that fits that way on my wrist. That is my preference. As an example, this submariner feels way too big for me and I prefer how my datejust 36 fits instead. Others would say it’s perfect
I would call it a “beater” because I don’t have the budget to call a $10,000 watch that, but I’m wearing my 36mm Rolex Datejust pretty much all situations. The size and comfort make it an easy choice, even when tinkering under the hood. Even though they are viewed differently today, Rolex originally designed and advertised datejusts as “big and tough” sporty watches that are also at home in more formal settings. That’s how I wear mine.
The price of the watch accessory market is literally insane. You have companies with zero brand recognition or “prestige” charging in some cases thousands of dollars for a basic watch box. It’s madness.
I’m sure there are some that make high quality, affordable products where you’re paying for the materials and quality. Hell, I don’t even mind paying for name brands like with my watches.
My problem is instagram ad campaign companies cosplaying as elite brands and then charging $1500 for a basic watch box.
My recommendation is finding something on Etsy. Personally, I use a valet tray but I know others prefer dedicated boxes. I only have 3 watches in my collection.
