    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.

    Watch nerd question:

    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
    Tag Heuer - 5
    Casio (lol) - 3
    Breitling - 8
    IWC - 2
    Seiko - 5
    Longines-Wittnauer - 6

    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.

    My $0.02.

    I’m going to change my opinion on IWC and make them an 8. A lot more watch than I thought.

    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
