Well, after the success of the RO >>17708397 released the first cope a few years later.
A year later pic related hired the RO designer to make that for them, followed closely by the patek. Thus constituted the first cope triumvirate in modern horological history. Vacheron's "me 222" a year later came out just a little too late for the party.
As fashions ebbed and flowed in other directions the RO was eventually long forgotten until relatively recently, spawning these modern copes >>17708377 >>17708373 >>17708362 and others to varying degrees of imitation.
My point is it's been so long that it no longer matters.

the Chopard has the better movement and also has a classic look. The Octo is polarizing to say the least.
I've known two people who've bought an Octo. Both of them were totally in love with their watches for the first month, both sold theirs within six months.

Bulgari's movements are starting to really become well-engineered, though their finishing still leaves something to be desired. Their designs, however, are terrible. They're edgy for edginess' sake in an attempt to stick out in a crowded market by looking weird. Just one of Genta's throwaway designs.

The ref and combination I've always wanted was discontinued a couple of years ago and though not exactly rare, it's not your standard sub/daytona/dj etc., that can be found en masse on chrono24. Every so often on shows up on TRF sales section though.

What is it about cheap watches that causes so much seething?
Both from those who wear them and those that don't.

Maybe the haters don't like accuracy. They hate those who like things.
I like my Casio WV-59:
Those who have the wrong opinions are the real poorfags, no doubt because they can't afford even a cheaper watch, they can't or daren't prove otherwise; notice they never show evidence with just a photo of said 'better' watch on their wrist and a note with the date & 'Sup /fa/'...?!
The fact they never can - thus their hypocrisy proved - means they don't have the right to have opinions.

Here’s another more minimalist take on the 24 hour watch

I've seen some which have the '24' on the bottom. I guess it's a matter of taste. Uncluttered is good too.

[Anonymous No.17709736]

Makes more sense to me to have the 24 on the bottom as that’s generally when you’d be asleep.

that bracelet looks bad, cmon man, you can really do better, get a polished bracelet that's proper width and it'd be decent, but a leather strap would fit the watch more imo

>>17709774
yeah i can see what you mean, i got a leather strap for it, but it feels too narrow for my hand

I have the limited edition polar 1969 recreation. Same price to buy the actual vintage one but I wanted a fresh one without the jank and hassle of tracking one down not to mention functional lume. I really like it.
Worth it? I enjoy it. Buying a 1970's watch today NOS made on the same machines, same movement and even with the same old bird working on them in the factory was a nice novelty, but novelty it was.
I really wanted a 36mm mechanical 24hr watch. 40mm etc., are readily available but I have many so really you have to go vintage for smaller sizes.
I like the idea of Raketa. Like Vostok they even make their own hairsprings, but they have a way to go before they can really compete in the same price range beyond novelty factor alone. No issues with QC or accuracy or customer service.
