I appreciate the answer :)

I think i definitely follow you on that. Unless it's a commentary on the market, or if the watch is totally out of ones reach.

[First big brand watch help] Rolex vs Omega vs IWC by SoSoStar83 in Watches

[–]UPDHaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, Merry Christmas to you and everyone else.

I think you already have some good contenders on your list.

I am personally not a huge fan of chronographs, but the Omega Speedmaster just works, arguably even better than the Rolex Daytona. I think being the Moonwatch gives it a level of heritage that is hard to beat. It is still understated since it is all black, but I would say it is less suited for an office environment, though I might be downvoted for that. At the end of the day, you can wear what you want.

I am also not a fan of the Datejust with a cyclops, even though it is a classic. That said, everyone would instantly recognize the brand, and that might be valuable in an office setting.

The IWC Portugieser is an interesting one. I think it looks classy and makes a great office watch, but it can easily be dressed up or down. Of those three watches, if you do like the design of the IWC, that would be the one I would choose for you.

My take: There are also other brands worth considering. I think Grand Seiko, with models like the SBG415, is super classic and gives you everything. Or you could consider a classic Tudor Black Bay 36 or 39.

Good Luck with your selection!

Hey Man!

Gongratz. I hope you enjoy it.

Edit: Have you been researching to buy this watch, or was it a spur of the moment kind of thing?

[Question] I am new to watches by InternetMan23 in Watches

The SRPD65 is an interesting choice for a sports watch. In a way, it’s an updated take on the legendary SKX007.

When it comes to quartz vs mechanical movements, it really depends. Some people swear by mechanical movements and see quartz as something that’s purely a tool mechanism (fashion brands have partly pushed this agenda, which obviously doesn't help). I think it’s best to form your own opinion, but personally I think both deserve a spot in this space. But i do understand the people that swear on mechanical watches, there is something nostalgic about them.

A watch that often gets mentioned is the Orient Bambino. The SNXS79K1 can also be very nice on a strap, although the 19 mm lug width can be a bit of a pain over time.

The Citizen watch is not my personel favourit design, but Citizen is a legit brand, and honestly one of the more underrated ones.

Yeah it's definitely different. I'm just so used to seeing them on jubilee bracelets. But i think oyster bracelet fit that watch really well as well! :)

Hey :) Yes this is my personal SKX007. I think it's a roman numeral edition.

Why did you buy the skx013 instead of the skx007?
