Usually I’m only interested in rolex, JLC or big 3 watches (got a sub, waitlisted for an aquanaut and a AP ROOD)
But after seeing top gun 5 times I keep thinking about IWC watches.
My gf laughs at me and says that I’m an easy mark and a marketing exec’s wet dream, but I think this looks kinda cool.
Anyone have experience with IWC. I remember a rich friend of mine idolizing them when I was a kid but I had them mentally categorized with dead brands such as Longines, and Breitling.

As far as I’ve read. They are basically the top pilot watch/flieger style. For the price though they are no where as nice as Omega/Rolex and a lot of the parts are outsourced.
That’s just what I’ve heard.
I do like the look of the Chronograph flieger a lot as well, I wish stowa would just steal the design and sell it for half the cost with no logo.

If you are an enthusiast, IWC has a lot to offer. The sweet spot are late 90s and early-mid 2000s highly complicated pieces using either the Kurt Klaus designed perpetual calendar mechanism or the evolution of that system in the Portuguese. These are brilliant watches that can be had for fairly little money and are largely responsible for the revival of the brand under then CEO Gunter Blumlein, who was a genius executive also responsible for the modern success of JLC.

By what metric? Noone, not even the chinks have reproduced their dial, case and pusher proportions, but €6k+ for a basic model is pants-on-head retarded. They are unique in this regard, for sure, but their styling is schizophrenic with polished pushers on coyote brown cases.

LaCo has the really really authentic heritage look in their classic models. Stowa for the upmarket polished look still for about €1.5k

Really enjoying my Cronos Sea-Dweller Deepsea homage, I just can’t imagine that the real one is 66x better for 66x the price. Surely spending that kind of money for a steel watch can’t be fun no matter how much money you have, any richfags want to weigh in and explain how the money is worth it?

Like everything expensive, the point is just to show your big (money) dick to other people.

That’s fine, I take solstice in the knowledge that even if they have the money for a real Deepsea, statistically the chances are they’re not going to have the wrist for at and shy away from buying it for that reason.

It's a luxury product. It's not 66x better, but it's a lot better. Factor in the fact that you can sell the watch years down the line and probably break even or make some money, it's not that hard to justify. And if you end up never selling it, well adjusting the cost of the watch over your life span and you're paying a few hundred bucks/year.

I just read the wikipedia and did a bunch of research on diminishing returns and you are all wrong. Diminishing returns in relation to watches means that watch production will slow down if you, for example, hire one more worker, everything else being equal. Nobody that mentions diminishing returns has any idea what they're talking about.

You're right on a technical sense when using the strict economics definition. I think what most people ITT were talking about was the phenomenon with most products, especially luxury products, where as you get higher and higher end you get less back. An easy example is a Tudor BB58. Is a Rolex submariner more than twice as good? No, but it is quite a bit better. Is a Ferrari several times better than a base 911? Once again no. On a pure dollar:"performance" ratio you're losing, but luxury products tend not to compete on value per dollar. They tend to compete on more ephemeral factors like craftsmanship, heritage, and social utility.

I know what they are trying to say but they are using the wrong terminology. I feel you are doing the same thing where you turn the utility an item has for you into it actually being better. That's just falling prey to luxury pricing: "it's more expensive so the only way to explain the price difference is that it's better".

The economy is driven by supply and demand. As supply goes up, demand goes down. Prices drop to accommodate. Supply down, demand up, prices up. Luxury products are Veblen goods. That means they don't follow the typical demand curve. Veblen goods experience a normal demand curve to a point. Then the demand continues to increase even as prices increase. You can see this with Rolex, Patek, Ferrari, Hermes, Chanel, and just about any top tier luxury brand on the planet. It doesn't mean the prices have no basis in reailty. A 6119 is a vastly better watch than most other offerings. But dollar to dollar, it compares badly with offerings from Vacheron, Lange, or Breguet who are currently experiencing less of the Veblen effect. In watchmaking, as with most things, a higher price will correlate to higher quality with the caveat that there are exceptions experiencing an extreme Veblen effect at any given time due to what brands are seen as hot by the market.

It's funny, I have to explain this every few months to some autist trying to justify how his chink knock-off is superior to everything made by the Swiss because he is too stupid to realize luxury watch buyers are not the same as people poring over spec-sheets and whether their homage has a sapphire crystal for $20 extra.

That's a decent way to look at it I suppose, I guess the problem with watches is that they have specifications and so cheaper watches can match the specs of the expensive ones, but as jewellery I guess that shouldn't really matter or at least isn't the most important thing when buying a watch.

Wouldn't diminishing returns get a bit murky when it comes to luxury watches? Doesn't it depend on what kind of value you're trying to get out of it?

Like a Rolex isn't 66x better than a Cronos homage on a straight technical/build quality standpoint, but people aren't buying the Rolex for that reason. As a social symbol surely the Cronos is more than 66x worse than a Rolex, being a cheap Chinese homage.

The law of diminishing returns
-a principle stating that profits or benefits gained from something will represent a proportionally smaller gain as more money or energy is invested in it.
In the instance discussed in this thread, the benefit is the quality of the watch.
Now I know you're a fucking idiot who's gonna start arguing with me about the word investment so lets define that
Investment
the action or process of investing money for profit or material result.
In this case the material result is you owning the watch.

>the benefit is the quality of the watch
The quality of the watch is not affected by the price, that's basic economics. If you pay twice or half of the retail price it doesn't make the watch is twice or half as good. Diminishing returns has nothing to do with quality. Stop replying if you can't think logically.

Dog if you wanted to make your own movement you would have to go to watchmaking school and then work for 10 years. Even then most movement components are just made via complicated CNC machining techniques in large factories built for that purpose. Buy a movement you like, buy a case, buy a watch face, and get together about 500 dollars worth of tools if you want to make a custom watch. Not trying to discourage you but that's like the bare minimum if you want to make a non-quartz custom watch

The watch is representing the passing of time. It either represents it by using continuous range of values (analog) or discrete/discontinuous values (digital). This display can show either 8:37 or 8:38, no in between. It therefore uses discrete values to represent the passing of time and is therefore digital.

An analogue clock is a clock or watch that has moving hands and (usually) hours marked from 1 to 12 to show you the time. Some have Roman Numerals (I, II, III, etc) instead, or no numbers at all, instead only relying on the positioning of the hands and what angle they're at to indicate the time.

That picture is the old monta gmt, it had great finishing, cool features, and was a beautiful watch. Then monta did a limited run of gmt watches that look like the new one that sold out in 10 minutes. They decided to abandon the old design and make a new gmt watch, the new watch just happens to be much cheaper for them to manufacturer than the old one and look much more like a gmt master homage than its own thing.

I really agree with that sentiment. I was also curious if I could swap out a dive bezel with the new Skyquest too. That or ask if they have any old stock of the hour bezels.

And funny you mention that about the GMT master. I was going back and forth between that and Omegas great white GMT.
