The "Official" Watch Thread and all Things Horological

Just proves being wealthy doesn't = having good taste.

I don’t mind it aside from a couple of things. What’s the big deal about pressing a button to record the goals? That seems dumb.

Second Q is the watch seems over complicated comparing it to other watches that do similar things. Or is that the point?
 
I saw recently that Richard Mille is estimated to be the 6th largest Swiss watch brand by revenue, at around 1.7B Swiss Francs, or about $3B CAD. They have by far the highest average revenue per watch at almost $500,000/ea CAD, which is roughly double the next most expensive brand. Only the heavy hitters like Rolex, AP, Patek, Omega and Cartier are bigger by annual revenue, and Richard Mille are bigger than both Seiko and Citizen by a fair margin.

I don't get it under any circumstances, but obviously people with cash to burn do...
 
Cool but spending $30k on a mantle clock is steep for me.

Mike from This Watch, That Watch has had issues with all of his JLCs. Just sayin'.
 
My boss got an omega speedmaster professional as a parting gift , within a month the hands fell off and the crown had to be replaced. We bought four , one for each leaving partner , other three have been great but one was assembled after a long weekend .

For that coin I'd be demanding a replacement, not a repair.......to see it needing more repairs going forward.
 
The “Saffire sandwich” Omega Speedmasters were just over nine k each with taxes , no discount even though we bought four . They did throw in an Omega umbrella , Oky doky . I’d have been making a bigger stink if it was mine . That’s horrible for a watch of that ‘caliber’ . I’ll offer him three k and a super clone trade next week so the other partners don’t know he sold out .
