For anyone out there, naysayers or those who see the value of this watch, I can say when you hold and look at this watch, it is obvious that it is worth every penny of the $2600 and more. End of story.
You completely missed the point. I am not a self-declared "watch geek" but I do own several fine watches that not only are attractive but have appreciated in value. The desirability of this watch (or lack thereof) is evidenced by how few people (one I believe) participated in this drop. A RL branded watch is not going to entice a lot of interest or excitement (plus it’s like strapping a wall clock to your wrist).
Folks, stop whining. If you don't want to spend $2500 on this watch just go spend the $10k+ on JLC Master Geographic.
I would so jump on this watch if it wasn't so big.
Exactly. And go out and shop for another RL watch. What do you find? Ok, let's see, if you are trying to cheap out, there is the Petite Stirrup at $2,180. Maybe jkwva would like that - it is certainly cheaper and smaller. Or there is the $99,000 Automotive Double Tourbillion. He wouldn't like it though because it has the same label as the one in this drop. Somebody is buying some of these watches or they wouldn't keep making them.
Wow... So many posts about this $60 looking watch? It doesnt matter what is inside the case when the case is branded by RL. The brand itself is advertised as mid level clothing company. And that is the end of it. Know your market.
Dear Erik1,
If I am an idiot, then you are simply uneducated punk. Think carefully before you post such comments as they show exactly what category you belong to.
dimaspI used to be a punk, but I am certainly not undeducated. If you care what label is on your watch instead of the quality of the watch, that is idiotic. You probably think spending $6k on a Seiko is stupid too, right?
Got mine. (Different source). Lovely watch. Movement is fully decorated and is a knockout in person. Sorry about the condition of my arm. Hoping for return to normal soon!

Switched toa nylon strap for now to keep original strap pristine. More my style anyway.
Erik1Masdrop has lug width wrong, actually slightly over 22mm.
Couple other things - this has a screwdown crown (not mentioned by Massdrop) and it is smooth. Never had a screwdown that felt so nice. And winding this thing feels like you are turning a non winding crown . Absoultely no noise or ratcheting feel in the crown.
It's a 34-jewel movement with a Jaeger LeCoultre base, not those Emporio Armani kind of watches we are talking about. Did people take a look at this before saying it is overpriced? or they just call it the moment they saw the word Ralph Lauren?
A lot of criticism of this watch is that, to watch geeks, the brand is not a prestigious watch brand. So this is an expensive fashion brand watch.
In meatspace, where we all live, and where we wear our watches, we go about our lives never meeting other watch geeks. When was the last time that you ever had anyone even notice that you you were wearing an automatic watch by looking at the seconds hand? Nobody we ever see in real life cares about this stuff.
So if you like this watch, go for it. If you ever go to watch geek meetups (which none of us does), don't wear this particular watch on that day.
If I understand correctly the person who joulined this drop won't get this deal if another person doesn't join, if that's rmthe case the should try searching for it in Chrono24. I know for a fact the seller will take 10% of his list, at1 least. Maybe try for a bit more to match this price.
