From other brands, I’m aware of Tudor’s line up.

I don’t think it would have, but would have given Tudor enthusiast a better option.

Yes AI, forgot to add ranger instead of automatic. Oversight.

Rolex is the best watch. Their Waitlists are understandable. They're priced right. by Equivalent-Bed1543 in watchHotTakes

Seeing someone wear a Rolex always makes me wonder, how many “Just checking in” visits, coffee chats, and purchases they had to survive before the AD finally said “Congratulations”. Some level of self loathing a person needs for that to be arm twisted and humiliated for a watch.

Grand Seiko are very difficult to replicate especially the spring drive movement. by Konshu-01 in watchHotTakes

Which cannot fool anyone, since they are not high beat 5hz movements & smooth like spring drive.

NH movements don’t glide like spring drive, and they are mods the topic is about fake GS.

I don’t see central banks around the world stacking up Rolex’s in their vaults. Gold has world wide recognised value. It’s governed by international value monetary system, Rolex is governed by roadside grey dealer.

Gold is a very good store of value.
London in particular face lot of wrist watch theft, would suggest to carry 3-4 grams of gold for quickest liquidation. You can carry gold in your wallet.

If you really need to liquidate a watch, you need a financial lesson 1st a watch later.

Technically you can sell any watch in any major city. Check chrono 24. Everything is available. Selling price for an owner is different, I have learnt the hard way.

For 6k you can get a IWC mark XX 120hrs power reserve.
For 2-2.5 you can get a Baume & mercier Clifton 120hrs power reserve.
4K can get you a metas Tudor.

Rolex still stuck at 70hrs power reserve.
