How about a Rolex without a seconds hand?
Just a thought... I think most owners would never ever find out about or suffer from a movement problem :-)
A watch, as Jeremy Clarkson described his simple Railmaster, a watch for the sedentary soul. |

Hard no. I already can't stand dial without markers every minute.

Nope, it's the most referred to hand on my 216570.

Absolutely not, you can't see if the movement is working at a glance and you can't track its accuracy which makes it difficult to spot potential issues. Also, the magic of the 8bps gliding hand is part of the charm. A watch without a second hand looks like it's stopped.

Rolex could really do something with the Cellini if it wanted to.

Nah. The only 2 handed watch I want is an AP Jumbo.

Hard pass, seconds hand is essential.

Not for Rolex, but I've considered a Panerai two-hander before. I think it works well with some models. I could live without a seconds hand for the sake of the style of these (plus I don't like Panerai sub-secs dials)...

I have a 14 year old Panerai 000 with no seconds hand. Very basic and I absolutely love it.

Suddenly all the +/- secs/day issues disappear Adam.

Would suit me. Like my 15202. Helps you not become obsessed with little timekeeping “problems”.

Love my Panerai base, but I don’t think it’s a Rolex thing.

I very much like the seconds hand. Indeed it will help showcase any problems with the movements early on, helps with timing and it looks pretty neat tbh.

I quite enjoy my one hander a lot of the time
Certainly wouldn't mind a two hand dress watch
