- Roger Dubuis started his watch company in 1995 with Carlos Dias. Roger made the watches and Carlos did some of the design and took care of the business end of the company. In a very short period of time, Roger Dubuis became of the most successful high horology names in Swiss watches.
So, i was at this watch dealers house i know , collecting my wife new watch a J.L.C. Master Chrono Lady Diver . I was lucky to see the other watche's he had at home that day , the new stock that has not gone on sale. I saw Omega, J.L.C. ,Rolex, and then out came a ROGER DUBUIS JUST FOR FRIENDS ACQUA MARE. It was Awesome, i don't think i have been this taken with any watch, I have always admired the likes of Patek P. and the other top brands, however as much as i liked the movements the watches did nothing for me, or the watches looks awesome , and i'd have one in a heartbeat , but the wallet was saying no. Its used , but looks like new, not a mark on the case, boxes ,no papers. I needed to mull it over, i went home , and for the next week , i could not stop looking into Roger Dubuis. So the end , its going to be here Tomorrow, its my new watch, ill let you know after a while how i got on with my new ,used, ROGER DUBUIS JUST FOR FRIENDS ACQUA MARE. btw i like your youtube vids, thank you for your time, you must take to make them.
Thank you so much for your effort
There is a Roger D watch on the market, the La M s/steel with an in house movement. Straight forward time and seconds. Grey dial. In the later years you referenced movement issues. Do know of any specific I should ask about? In this case the warmth is priced below what else end to be the market. But on a highly reputable site. Thanks for any insights.
Fantastic review, Bill. Really appreciate the inside info on this company, thanks to your research. The Sympathie (version where crystal matches the case design) and La Manegasque are my favorites as well.
Never have seen a Roger Dubuis watch that I liked. I also think that there is no reason to spend the money for tourbillon. I don't see a reason for them in a modern watch, except to push up the sale price. I don't think that additional complication adds any degree of accuracy that justifies its cost. Of course all of these are more costly than I would ever spend for a modern watch.Good show, and nice to learn some about Roger Dubuis history.
Hi Bill, Too Much is too much. Have a good weekend. Cheers
Undoubtly he was one of the most skilled watchmakers in the world. Sorry to say there is not one watch in your video that is optically speaking to me. Have a nice weekend Bill!
I am about to buy a steel moneguasque chronograph. That movement with micro rotor is a gem... Aside note: where do you get the money for all those fine watches you own??
RD had this model SYM43 which at first glance looked like a Excalibur, yet with the Symphatie cushion. Any take on this model?
His design is way too extravagant. Maybe somebody like Niander Wallace would wear one of these.
Roger Dubuis Excalibur found it here
Great show again today, although I am not a fan of RD.
Problem with most of these watches is that one cannot read the time. ... Way too elaborate
lol a doobie is a joint not a watch! lol Doo-bWee
Your knowledge is impressive Your pronunciations are the worst I've ever heard! Kari voo-ti-lay-nen, Roger doo-bwee. Very amusing!
