Im mildly offended by this comparison. A Rolex is no where close to the pedigree, quality and artisan craftsmanship of a vacheron.
@racebannon23323 ай бұрын
Very few individuals who are watch enthusiasts cross shop VC with Rolex. VC, like the majority of timepieces from any of the trilogy, are all or partly hand finished. Rolex (movements) are far more robust and sit alone in a space uniquely theirs. One can argue VC is superior because it’s hand made but comparing these two brands misses the mark. They are both benchmarks for what they offer. I’ll argue the Rolex will retain its value better but this does not indicate it’s superior. It’s all about demand…

Tudor all day. I prefer being low key and not be pretentious because I wear an expensive watch. There is all this negative connotation about Rolex being a "status symbol" which makes me barf. It's like you accomplished something because you wear a Rolex vibe. On the other hand, Tudor is recognised mainly by watch enthusiasts and has this subdued class to it that I love. The Rolex, especially the latest ceramic version, is too blingy for me.

As nice a piece as the Rolex Sky Dweller is - probably one of their BEST pieces, there is NO comparison, NONE WHATSOEVER, to a VC. VC is haute horology on so many different levels over Rolex - FACT.

Tudor is obviously less expensive,but tudor is easy to buh,rolex is impossible to buy in rolex store and cost 12000$ in grey market,and because human beeing always want what he cant,people want this rolex,because the brand is an aspirational brand,a must have for being part of vip class people,reason why customer want this watch,for being part of the suposed superior category ...vanity,vanity

@defresh46128 ай бұрын
I love the vc, but design wise, I think the am/pm indicator would have looked better flipped, so the am/pm text was near the minute track rather than the center of the watch. If I’m being ocd, a power reserve indicator of the same arc size as the am/pm indicator on the right side would balance out the dial nicely.

Not the best review.. you missed the case thicknesses and weights. Wearability and comfort of each comparison. Too much focus on the status. Every man and his dog has a sub so it’s not a big deal really.

I had my apple watch, and it just became a device to prompt me to look at my phone. Screen too small to be productive or a true phone replacement. However, I cannot be critical of its health tracking and apps, which are great. I found myself still carrying my phone all the time, despite having a Sim card watch version. But mostly, I didn't like the fact I didn't have a relationship with my watch. So I'm back with my Sub14060m and loving watches. I don't miss the computer on my wrist at all, cool as it is.

It's actually pretty decent finishing for a watch in this price-bracket and as an exercise in volume production of an automatic movement, Sistem51 is impressive. My main gripe with them is that the movement isn't designed to be serviceable in any way which makes them completely throwaway. They're hoping that by the same the SwatchX watch has died, you'll be rich enough and loyal enough to go and buy an Omega/Blancpain.

Well, first thing I strongly recommend to anyone, is to not get under pressure from anyone, let alone some youtubers, to make their purchase choices. So called watch community, whatever that means, developed a nasty way of judging people by what they put on their wrists - they would criticize Hublot or similar brands for lack of mechanical innovation, lack of quality or no in-house movements, but at the same time they praise Rolex, who has not been innovating for a loooong time, produces mostly boring watches, of quality far worse then i.e. Grand Seiko - who guys like Nico do not even pay much attention to (as he pays attention to re-sale value, nothing else). I am tempted to buy Hublot just to show my middle finger to all those watch snobs. Look at those ugly pieces Richard Mille does - they are as ostentatious as Hublot, they are made for people with zero taste (seriously, check who actually wears them, certainly noone you would accuse of having some class....), but are even more expensive, yet Nicos of the world love'em.

Good review, but the sky dweller is not the thickest of Rolex’s watches. My Sea Dweller Deepsea is 3mm thicker at 17.7mm… and then there is the new titanium Deepsea challenge at 23mm…
