Editor’s note: Season 2 of About Effing Time premiered last week, and the three amigos kicked things off by tackling alternatives to popular watches – one of which was the Rolex Submariner.

Cartier is, at least in my opinion, the hottest watch brand right now. Whether it’s the Cartier Crash London that sold for over US$1M, Tyler, The Creator’s recent flex of his armful of vintage and modern references from the storied brand, or the fact that the general consensus of the watch media at Watches & …
