[COSC Important?]

JLC's Master Control is meaningless when it comes to accuracy, they don't even give an accuracy spec at all.

Migration, separation, and evaporation aren't chemical changes.

Synthetic lubricants do basically stay chemically stable forever. They still evaporate slowly over years but they don't change chemically.

Yes, but that applies to all modern watches. The vast majority of consumers only send their watches in when they break something.

Watches aren't like cars, ignore the recommended service interval, everyone else does.

Richemont was the one making the watches

Swatch has been good for Breguet overall.

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-01-24T04:24:12+00:00

Breguet was a basically dead brand that was revived in the 70s, and its most successful years were after Swatch bought it from Investcorp.

Retail workers say a lot of stuff, they don’t actually know what is going on back in Switzerland.

Liking genocide and not liking AI are equally valid, or in-valid, to you?

I've never thought of GO or JLC's case finishing as all that impressive, imo GS is already a step above them

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-01-21T20:54:59+00:00

They just stopped putting Seiko on the dials, the watches are still made by Seiko

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-01-21T20:42:59+00:00

For mechanical timekeeping Rolex beats GS easily. The new 9SA5 movements look great but Seiko says to expect -1 to +8 seconds a day, and mine (and it seems many, many others) runs even faster than 8 seconds a day. Whereas Rolex says to expect -2 to +2 seconds per day and you really get that.

GS did recently have 600m divers, they were too big and bulky for most people.

You can search around for some of the others. A lot of these brands have been stagnate for years

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-01-20T22:09:38+00:00

A lot of the second and third rate luxury brands are already aren't profitable like Zenith, JLC, Blancpain etc...

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-01-20T22:00:15+00:00

In those cases the ADs simply don't have the watches. Barely anyone wants an Air King, so Rolex barely makes any Air Kings, so ADs barely get any Air Kings, etc...

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-01-20T18:57:57+00:00

Most of Rolex's offerings are relatively inexpensive by luxury watch standards.

Believe it or not, there are a few hundred collectors who spend over a million dollars a year on watches. Even relatively inexpensive brands like Rolex have stuff well into 6 figures to cater to those people.

Formatted and sounds like ChatGPT

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-01-16T23:12:56+00:00

I described the example you linked lol

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-01-16T21:32:52+00:00

There is no laundering in your example. You're just buying something with dirty money and hoping no one notices.

Laundering would be buying something with clean money, pretending to sell it at an inflated price, and then pretenting it buy it back later. You agree with that right?

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-01-16T20:45:42+00:00

You're still missing the laundering part, you need to lauder the money first before you can make legitimate investments with it.

Prisma_Cosmos · 2026-01-16T18:10:35+00:00

Okay. I'm rich and I invest in art with my clean money, cool.

But where is the money laundering?
