Have an engineer 2 chronometer. Great watch - hasn’t been serviced since I got it in 2014 but keeps great time. I’d be happy for you to review it but I’m in UK. Love this watch aswell, would love it if they sold it in the UK.

Looks like a good up and coming brand, definitely offers more than a Seiko. After being in this hobby and owing the big boys, I'm starting to enjoy trying out lesser known brands that offers more for the money. They may not be prestigious, but they are enjoyable to wear.

I was waiting for the part on how that watch is better than both a Rolex or an Omega. If the claim is just based on price, then yes, a thousand bucks is better than what either Rolex or Omega offer.

[@erickruse4679]

Well, I do think it's probably objectively competitive with a Longines with an L888, for example. I see what you mean about it being well finished, but it's not precise and finished on the level of an Omega, and debatably on the level of a Longines. My eyes kept being drawn to how the end links mate up approximately with the case. Most importantly though, a Longines with equivalent specs is going to ask that amount retail and often sell for less, even with it's brand recognition. In this case, I'd look hard at it if it were half that price, with a retail of 3/4 that price. In that price range (on sale), i'm currently eyeballing this Orient RE-AY0005A00B, but I don't see any good reviews of it.

[@the_snopro]

People don't buy rolex because of value or finishing, people buy rolex for other people being able to recognize it, and if you disagree you are wrong.

[@truxton1000]

Not sure if that's true at all. Just look at older watches. It's not rare to find a Rolex that looks almost like new despite it has been in use for 50-60 years, not many watch brands can say the same. Rolex is quality, no question about it. Not only quality now, but has been for a long long time.

[@truxton1000]

@@Trollet532 Well I agree on the inflated grey market prices on the newer models. Still I think on the vintage stuff Rolex is priced as fair as anything else. I got nine Rolex watches and with one exception, a Deep Sea from 2013 ALL my Rolex watches in from before 2000. The reason for this is of course that I like those better, plus I never trusted that the hype for the newer models would last, and I was right. So don’t just assume that ALL Rolex is overpriced.

[@elzafir]

@@christianvalle4188 A Rolex watch is good at being a Rolex, i.e. the prestige you get because of the brand, rather than the quality or functionality. Quality wise, any Grand Seiko would be much better than a Rolex. Functionality wise, a G-Shock would beat it hands down. But in terms of prestige, maybe only a Cartier Tank or an Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch could match it in the lower end (think Oyster Perpetual, Datejust, stainless steel Submariner). In the higher end, only Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, A. Lange & Sohne, Jaeger Le-Coultre, or F.P. Journe could exceed a Rolex in terms of prestige and brand recognition.

[@kevinh5349]

I've noticed that many watches running $2k to $5k+ use the exact same movements as watches running $500 to $1,500 - the base SW-200 or the NH-35. All other features being the same. It's because the big conglomerates that own multiple name watches maintain artificial "price points" over the watch lines they own. Think Baume et Mercier, Hamilton, Longines, Bell&Ross, etc. Compare with numerous lower priced watch brands that are just as good - Vaer, Venezianico, Traska, Pitzmann, etc, too many to name. I realize that consolidation saved mechanical watches from extinction during the quartz crisis, but it has soured me on much of the lower end of the industry. You're supposed to shell out a lot more for, essentially, the name. Of course, once you get to the very low end of the luxury market (Rolex) and on up, this does not generally apply.

[@ronal6300]

You said u don't care where the watch is from but how it is made than you should probably check hmt from India and the movement co developed by citizen

Speaking of Ball, had one from the early 2000s, when it was under another company owner, very well made high quality shit, retail for 3 plus, bought for 2 plus, and come 15 years later wanna sell it for 800 and nobody wants it. Sold for 400 to a pawnshop who relist it at a 1000 and its been stuck there eversince. Nobody wants it. They need better marketing to find a place in the watch world.

[@mrmyc0rn840]
