Here is a watch I have been looking at lately. Absolute top level finishing. Makes a Rolex look like a Casio. Great watch. Stunning blue.
I was talking watches with a client and he has a Rolex. I mentioned that a Grand Seiko is on my grail list and he couldn’t believe I just wanted a Seiko.

A lot of people who own Rolex aren't actual watch fans. They are just idiots with money. Anyone who is serious about watches knows GS. And also Vacheron. But to the general public there is only one luxury watch - Rolex. People are idiots.

I need the overseas dual time blue dial. So many needs, so little money.
I ran into a guy wearing a stainless YM-2 and I must say it went from near the top of my list to down quite a few notches. It's just too big, almost looked like a cheap Invicta with the guady bezel lettering. I don't know, I still love it. Disregard.
New watch from Oris, honoring Jazz drummer Art Blakey. The cymbal inlay really does it for me. Anyway, I'm not going to run out and try to buy one now because I'm kind of pour at the moment.

Oh, I know. I’m just relaying a conversation I had on Friday.
Obviously just an opinion. Anything from 1-3 is just a watch you’d buy for the looks without caring about it’s history, the movement, sapphire crystal, etc. (I.e. a fashion watch). 4-6 has value and usually incorporates some higher finishes but aren’t worth MSRP (but have value if you find them on sale). 7-10 will get you high end finishes, heritage, quality, etc.... but at a price.
where do these brands "rank" if Timex = 1 and let's say Rolex is a = 10 ...
Movado Tag Heuer Casio (lol) Breitling IWC Seiko Longines-Wittnauer ...
Movado (1 expensive fashion watch) Tag Heuer (3 for their mall stuff and 5 for their legit in house stuff - some good heritage with Heuer in the old days) Casio (lol) (-1) Breitling (used to be a solid 7 to 8, now the company is in bad shape and I'd put them at a 5) IWC (8 all day long - great watches) Seiko (Seiko is a 3, but Grand Seiko is an 8) Longines-Wittnauer ... 4

Funny enough, this is exactly the Final 4 I would have guessed. @Swaye always says the 3 most iconic watches of all time are the Rolex Sub, Rolex GMT and Omega Speedmaster. If Omega had come up with a timeless Seamaster in the 1960s and just kept it the same it might be in here as well, but instead they keep fucking with it every decade or so.

We might as well not even play the game then!
None of us can beat Swaye at anything. Even grandpa Race lost to him.

We lost to @Swaye, we always lose to Swaye, we’re a loser program...
