Agreed. Some would consider Rolex to be a conglomerate unto itself considering their sister brand Tudor. I think combine they sell around a million watches per year and been using most of the same tooling since 1950s. Not knocking Rolex at all. They make great watches, but with Tudor they make products at many price points.

I owned several over the years, but they've all come and gone. This was when you could make money flipping the right ones...
You have the wrist for it. Great looking, subdued watch, and you're only going to see others in the wild if you hang with lawyers or Wall Street money types. Keep rocking it and wear in the best of health!

there's also the element that, with the brands i mentioned, if you buy the right pieces, they will never, ever, ever go down in value. and in many cases (literally every watch i own) are worth 50%-100% more than you paid the second you walk out the store.
i'm not evangelizing the merits of one brand over another or telling someone how to spend their money. everyone can and should do with their money whatever it is they choose to. like anything,

What I find paradoxical is the how you can say "to each their own" in defense to telling someone "not a fan of Panerai" (theirs) under the guise of "I don't like conglomerate brands". The crescendo was your smug follow-up comment "only rolex, patek and AP for me". The fact that you can mingle on a Porsche forum and talk watches (although I'd question whether you're actually a watch guy) shows that you've found some success in life but have failed to learn any class or humility along the way. You strike me as a person who holds themselves in a much higher regard than what others actually hold you in.

he didn't say "here's mine." he said "thoughts?"
and yeah, those brands for me, not because i look down on other peoples choices. but because they're investment pieces. so if i am going to spend $23,000 on a watch, i'd like to not lose money on that purchase. i can buy a 5711, wear it for a year or two, and sell it for double, and move on to the next piece. it's better than keeping cash in a vanguard account. i've done this for years and by this point my entire collection is beyond well beyond free by now.
i love omegas too due to their cultural influence/importance. they have a place in history. there is a sentimental element to it. every watch should have a story. many times certain brands lend themselves to a higher likelihood of an interesting story.
if he said "check this out, my grandpa won it in a french dice match during WW2 and gave it to me in his will." i'd be like "wow that's a ****ing awesome story."
some watches are stories by themselves. some have a story attached to them. any watch with a good story is a cool *** watch.

As much as I love seeing different pictures of watches (some of which are unique), I hate these types of threads because they appear to me to be a marketing inquiry or an inquiry by one who simply wants to keep up with the Jones, so to speak. That said, there is nothing wrong with posting your watch and sharing (even if it’s a coy photograph with the Porsche emblem or other item in the background that the poster wants us to see). My only concern is the cross-post criticism about one watch or another. I find it amusing that one who wears a higher end watch would criticize another higher end watch when the opinion is clearly subjective, notwithstanding whether the opinion concerns the watch’s appearance or cost or rationale for buying it. Those who criticize others for what watch they wear should seek life elsewhere.
