@jeanlefranc3817 Год назад

Richard Mille is the exact definition of Nouveaux Riches in watch world. And that’s a good thing, because it draws a clear line between Old Money (non Genta Pateks) and Nouveaux Riches.

@jeanlefranc3817 Год назад

I will go with my own favorite unpopular opinion : Genta inspired (non round bezel, integrated bracelets) watches are ugly and should disappear. They are ugly because : 1) Style from the 40’s and the 50’s was 20th century acme. It only went downhill from there 2) they are symbols of the 1970’s (and 80’s) which will be remembered as the time when the Western World had a stroke and never recovered. Nothing to celebrate about.

@dooks85 Год назад

I was at a wedding wearing a 39mm royal oak. Someone else at the wedding was wearing a modded steel cased casioak. We were talking about the design for a few minutes throughout the wedding and how cool we both thought the shape of the watch was. I admired his casioak and he never noticed that mine was similar but different. Nor did it matter for me to tell him. I like the design of the RO more than the name itself. I thought it was interesting that casio sort of integrated the RO design and that people wearing it have no idea where the design came from. 😃

Pretty sure people interested enough are clued up on where the 'casioak' draws design inspiration.

@logantidwell8226 Год назад

RM really just is Hublot for people who need an even more expensive gaudy status symbol. Sure, there's a certain amount of impressive technology built into them, but the most important feature of any RM is it's price tag.

@dragus7033 Год назад

I feel like I’m the only person on earth who wants one only because of the engineering and design 😂. It almost turns me off from them, since if I ever did get one, people would all think the only point was to flex. Hublot is trash because they put 200$ movements in $30k watches. But RM design every single part down to the tiniest screws from scratch for every watch, it’s mind blowing IMO.

I own and daily wear a JLC Geophysic 1958. It’s simple, minimalistic, and not ostentatious in any way. You could easily confuse that for a ‘mall watch’ in spite of it being a heavy hitter from a horology perspective. Remember, something doesn’t have to be all iced out to be extreme quality

@marcozueblin3864 Год назад

in the years rolex has increasingly become flashy and ostentastious, a watch for soccer players, rappers, boxers, nouveau richies and tastless people (like richard mille, which is born for those peoples). tudor may be boring, but it's catching up with what rolex used to do and to be and what was the basic reason of its success in the past. i say this as a both tudor and rolex collector.

@Bisley1 Год назад

I agree. Prefer the sleekness of the 5 digit models over all of the newer 6 digit and ceramic bezel models (though the ceramic at least adds function / durability). And while the Datejusts still have nice cases and no maxicases, their fluted bezels and jubilée bracelets are just so flashy, that they remind me of jewelry

With the IWC point, I think this sort of happens with other things outside of watches too. Often the innovator of something doesn’t end up being the most famous, so while an IWC may look like some cheaper design, it’s actually that the cheaper watch took the design from IWC. People see the mall watch first, then the IWC, and assume the order they discovered them in is the same as the order in which they were designed. Very interesting to talk about for sure.

Caffeine isn't worth it. I quit for several months and found that I had more and better overall energy. The convenience is addictive (in addition to the actual addictive qualities). To be able to choose when you don't feel tired, and to be able to displace your need for sleep at times when sleep isn't as much of an option. The effectiveness wears off though, and you are left with less energy overall. I admit that I have found that other people have different experiences and that it is dependent on the person.

I agree with most opinions but the RM one. Tbf, at a much lower scale, I personally own and wear a Cartier Tank, a 36mm Explorer 1, and a "CasiOak" depending on what I'm wearing or where I'm going. Who says a person that wear a RM one day can't wear a Daydate 36 the next day and a Santos the next one? I think we are quick to judge a person that wears a RM because they're expensive and very "in your face" watches, but maybe for that person it's just their "fun" summer watch and they have much classier understaded pieces in their collection. Who knows :)

@jamesbwaterman Год назад

My favorite part of this discussion was when watches and cars actually DO matter because one's self IS one's brand. A residential real estate agent, for example really does need a nice car and watch to be taken seriously as a top professional. Also, these two hosts NEED to have nice watches and nice clothes to be taken seriously. I took a screenwriting class from one of the writers of Toy Story 2 and he said agents in Hollywood didn't take him seriously as a writer until he started dressing terribly for meetings. The industry's association with successful writers is that they live in sweatpants and don't shave. It's about meeting client's specific expectations of "professional".

Doesn’t really matter what “they” think. It matters what YOU think of it and how it makes you feel. That’s how I have built and continue to build out my collection. That’s what I’m handing down to my boys. Hopefully they remember the significance the piece had to me during my lifetime and it brings them enjoyment when they think of me.

Tudor: They withdrew from the market, because their market position was squeezed, then made two attempts to re-enter the market, with some really weird and wacky watches, totally different from Rolex. These were NOT popular. So they re-entered the market again, and have taken it slowly slowly. The P-01 is living proof, that the market is very conservative. No more proof of that, than the popularity of Rolex?
