Not luxury? Semantics of the word “luxury” aside, I don’t think anyone could accurately (or reasonably) call a $5000 watch anything but luxury. That aside, really enjoyed the video.

Luxury isn't the pinnacle in quality for me, so it's not like it doesn't rank. A sports car can cost more than a luxury car, so it's not as much about price as it is about purpose.

@@AverageBros luxury doesn’t equal quality for me either. The price does. The intended purpose of this watch is not as a tool, as the price indicates. It’s a luxury item through and through.

@@knight0924 there are G- Shocks that cost $4K that I don't consider luxury either, to me it's not just price. This is a simple steel watch with no complications or complex finishes. It's still very premium and high quality but there's nothing really luxurious about it to me. Other than the price point, as you mentioned.

Thanks for the excellent review. The Tudor Black Bay at 40.5 is going to sell briskly with those specs. I do prefer the styling of your 39mm MM300. For me, an ideal 40mm luxury timepiece would be perhaps The Citizen Eco-Drive Tosa Washi Black Ref. AQ4091-56E.

My opinion if it was on blue dial on the Jubilee strap yeahhh even that rather prefer the oyster style bracelet man !!! 😉😎 in my own opinion! I’ve saw it don’t care about it or trade my burgundy bezel plus Metad get ready when service comes 🤓
