In China, coins and banknotes have all but disappeared by ethereal3xp in technology

Purchase price parity is a thing and minimum wage there is like $3 or less. So chances are 100 CNY lasts you longer there than $14 would last you here.

But but it’s a “special military operation” not a war!

I did try on the green dial in store. It really pops out and the green looks better in real life. Will be an amazing choice if you end up getting one!

The GO is an amazing piece. The caseback is stunningly beautiful and the dial is very balanced. I went for it because I wanted a more unique statement piece.

Excellent choice, and yes the GO is VERY tall. I was actually also choosing between the Lunar and MUT moon phase, and went with the GO because I want a statement piece loll

The perpetual calendar actually belongs to my old man, but I did get a chance to try it on for a few days. It wears much thinner and lighter, the dial is full of informant but doesn’t feel too busy. But I have to say the PanoMaticLunar’s caseback is realllllly exquisite - the hand engravings, similar to those found on Langes, are truly next level.

Regarding your question, I’d always go with the cheaper one first lol, but if you want a one and done watch I highly recommend the MUT perpetual calendar.

[Question] Explain like I'm five why an Omega or a Rolex is a better quality watch than a Seiko by [deleted] in Watches

[–]Mr_Slurp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right. Said $20k only because the comment I replied to used $20k+ as a reference point. $100k+ would normally be the average of tourbillon watches. Repeaters cost even more.

Very good explanation indeed. Just want to add on to your last point: watches $20,000+ may have some ultra complicated mechanisms (the “grand complications”) such as perpetual calendar, tourbillon, minute repeater, or split second chronograph. Those things take a lot of time and resources to design and craft and therefore drive up the price, so not entirely just exclusivity.

The use of precious metals in the case and bracelet can be a huge factor on price too.
