Lovely watch and enjoy it in good health. I really like them though at 42mm they're too big for my wrist. The ceramic and onyx models are amazing.

There's still a 38, no?

Never seen one in the flesh, but yes, it does apparently exist.

Which i believe was a 10% increase.

Did the entire catalog receive the same price hike?

Whoa, hefty increase. I mulled over picking one up in Vegas last December, and didn't think it shoot up so quickly.

Congrats for getting in at the right time!

I tried it on a few years ago. Wore really nicely. When it comes to non-Rolexes available for under $10,000 from an AD, it would probably be my first choice.

Question for owners: how’s the bracelet? No micro adjust right? I always get nervous about buying sports watches on bracelets without microadjust in case I can’t get a good fit.

Certainly an issue. Wish it had micro adjust or at least a half link thrown in. Quoted US$ 175 Toby the AD for the half link. Didn’t end up ordering because there was no option to return.

Otherwise a great watch though my Explorer is still the most comfortable, hand down.

Mine came with 2 half links on the bracelet. One on each side of the clasp.

Always a concern of mine as well and unfortunately it’s kept me from owning certain watches due to the inability to get the perfect fit. This watch comes with 2 half links though so i was able to dial it in to get a very comfortable fit.

Mine did as well but they still aren’t enough to get a perfect fit. The AD claims there’s another “half” link available but I’m a little sceptical.

Aren't these models everywhere? Sellers are beginning you to buy the watch as too much stock and too few takers.

Got ya. I misinterpreted your post and thought you didn’t have any half links on the factory bracelet.

Hi,

How does the 38 and 42mm laureato compare to a 5 digit sub/gmt? Won’t be able to see it in flesh before deciding but I think the 14060m / 16700 rolex are perfect size. Any help
Much appreciated

The 42mm Laureato definitely wears bigger than a five digit GMT. I think it wears just a bit bigger than a 42mm speedy
