A lot of the venom directed at Rolex is that they are “mass produced” on an assembly line. Many say they should increase production to meet demand, but then condemn them for having the facilities and processes to do that. That doesn’t bother me in the least. I spent 15 years in automotive manufacturing, working as a QA supervisor in the external trim deparment. The keys to a quality product are materials, employee training and line/process speed. If Rolex uses high quality materials, has a highly trained workforce & allows enough time for assembly, how is that a problem? Corvettes are made on an assembly line in western Kentucky and are one of the finest automobiles in the world. They never claim to be RR or Bugatti. Rolex never claims to be PP or AP. I think criticism of Rolex’s assembly process is misguided. I respect others who disagree.

that's actually the only way to do it.
Weld some sacrificial material to the top of the screw head, tighten it down, then mark the screw's rotational position.
Then remove the sacrificial material and cut the screw slot.

Indexing the screw slots to the threading is not impossible but you would need to develop specialized machinery just for making the screws and drilling the holes and that's so much engineering it goes far beyond the scope of any watchmaker.

It could be done, but man, not even the fanciest mountain Jews could afford it.

Apparently the 32xx movements become wildly innacurate after a few months of running.
They start out great, then after a year of continuous running start to go to shit.
Additionally, the amplitude goes straight to hell at the end of its power reserve.
To improve the power reserve, they simply made the mainspring longer and thinner, which is thought to be part of the problem. (Omega, on the other hand, added a second barrel in the 89xx series movements, which is what Rolex should have done.)

Like it or not he's right. That Tudor passes as entry level but only just and to me it doesn't at all because it's just a Rolex for poorfags. Also Tudor is fucking ugly no matter how many glasses wearing soys tell me otherwise on YouTube. Their taste is shit.

Buy a nice Breitling, they're well respected and have a huge history. Rolex liked them so much they swapped movements with them. The Tudor moment is very good but the watches are horrible.

I rate any of the Heuer re editions above any Tudor. Actually most of them are more expensive to begin with, new or used. The Heuer brand is right up there with Omega nowadays, and the H02 is a superb movement.

Anyway, real luxury starts about there or at the Speedmaster. Roughly.

Don't take this the wrong way (though you probably will anyway)
It sounds like you actually like the Seamaster better even though you know the Rolex is the more prestigious watch. It sounds like you're mostly just in love with the idea of Rolex ownership even though you, like most Rolex owners, have realized that the watch itself is actually quite boring by design.

In the end, aren’t all watches over $300 just Rolex cope?

If you cared about accuracy you’d get a quartz watch or a smart watch.

The “finishing” of your expensive watch is indistinguishable from a cheap seiko while on your wrist. No one spends their time looking at their watch under the magnification needed to “appreciate” the refinement of the second hand. No one you meet will be able to tell the difference.

All that “heritage” means is that your watch is made by a company that also made watches when having a luxury watch meant you had something materially better than what the masses could afford.

Ultimately, if you spend over $300 on a watch you’re trying to impress someone, and you know deep down that the most impressive watch will always be a Rolex.

For the brief moment that anyone notices and cares what watch you’re wearing, their point of reference will always be Rolex.

“Wow nice watch kinda looks like a Rolex!”

“You spent how much?! Why didn’t you just get a Rolex lol”.

“Cool watch. Did you know my cousin has a Rolex?!”.

Cope if you must, seethe if you will, but in your heart you know the truth.

It’s probably 60% Rolex, 40% Omega for me. I just really like both, but having two divers seems redundant.
The sub is thinner, more comfortable, better bezel action, nicer wind, solid caseback and it looks better on my wrist. The deep inky black dial is gorgeous. The entire watch is just svelte and everything is smooth and beautiful.
I don’t take schizo shitposting here seriously, if anyone does they are a fool.
Honestly I’ll probably just keep it and rotate them. I like Rolex and the non-cringe Omega models.

Let's be honest, having any diver at all is redundant.
Even if you scuba dive, you know that 300m is a depth you will never, ever get to. The few people who have gone that deep are fucked-up.

Like the other anon said, you're still in love with two watches you very recently bought.

You can't know how you feel right now, you're still in your honeymoon phase with both of them. In a year, maybe you'll sell the Omega, maybe you'll sell the Rolex, maybe you'll sell them both because you're now into H.Moser, who the fuck knows?

The problem with vintage Seiko is that most of us aren't even aware they made this or that cool watch. They made so many different watches throughout the years that in order for you to stumble upon this or that cool watch you have to first scroll through thousands of other not so cool watches that they also made. Then once you've found out that this cool watch existed, once you get those 7 or 8 magical number you then have to find one that isn't all banged up because most of them will have been worn at some point in their lives, i mean it is a Seiko after all. Nobody bought a bunch of these and put them away for later, that would be ridiculous. You have to spend time looking for stuff and eventually you will find some good stuff at a good price.

Asshole, I recommend a different (superior) Omega to him. The new wave dial is only good for one thing: drive up the price of the GoldenEye. The classic wave dial is the better watch and every watch expert knows this. Fuck the co Axial, it's a great movement but the 1120 is no slouch. It's an in house movement that is modified so heavily by Omega that it doesn't exist in any other reference. They rhodium plated it, replaced the spring, balance wheel and many other things, boosted power reserve by 4 hours over the base ETA. And it's a decorated chronometer.

Not to mention the watch itself is the mature and beautiful version of the new gaudy one.

I've already explained. The Seamaster 300M looks awkward and soulless because it's one of the first watches designed in a 3D software. It has that typical 90s "bioshape" that was so common back then on every-day objects (cars, computers, furniture, etc), which all have aged very poorly for various reasons

It just doesn't look like a proper tool watch, unlike the Submariner or Fifty Fathoms which designs date back from the 1950s. The Submariner 300M looks like a fashion item from the 90s because that's what it is.

Again, I don't care if people like it or not and I'm not even questioning the quality of the movement. All I'm saying is, it looks like a fucking piece of shit straight up from the worst era for industrial design.

Justify this. It's a 300m diver with an easy to rotate bezel and a bracelet with a fucking divers extension to fit over wet suits, plus a helium escape valve, a screw down crown (safe) with crown guards (even safer) for underwater reliability. It doesn't get more practical than this watch.
>mix of round shapes and sharp edges
You can say the same about most watches ever made since they typically have sharp edges and rounded edges on their case. Name something that this doesn't apply to. Protip: it applies to the Submariner too. It has sharp edges and rounded surfaces.
>overdesigned elements
Excuse me but what the fuck does this even mean to you? How is a 3 hand chronometer overdesigned?

which is why they moved much of that writing to the 12 o clock with the Omega logo and only kept a part of it below.

You want notches on a diving bezel (especially if you're using gloves), not that smooth shape. Check the bezel of the Submariner, this was made with an actual purpose for divers.

Again you (are pretending to) miss the point. I'm obviously referring to these smooth and rounded shapes, like the bezel or crown guard. It's a signature from the 90s that was only made possible with 3D softwares. I think it's ugly.
>Excuse me but what the fuck does this even mean to you? How is a 3 hand chronometer overdesigned?
There is no point in having a 9 links bracelet half polished half brushed. It's only there because it looked good by 90s standards. It's also very impractical : the more elements, the more likely it is to break. A proper dive watch uses a 3 link bracelet, a fabric strap or a rubber strap.
>What the fuck? I'm cracking up at this point.

It's not an implication. It's fact. The costume designer and Omega agree on this. It's documented everywhere. Don't be the most retarded guy in the thread if you don't have to.

Lindy Hemming picked the Seamaster for GoldenEye because she thought it was something a naval officer would wear and then, once Omega realized the marketing potential, paid the producers to ensure that Bond would wear Omega from then on.

The quartz is more accurate and reliable, the slimmest professional diver watch back then, and had the hour hand jump setting for traveling.

So, dependable, slim/elegant, and practical watch for Bond. Why would he wear a mechanical, thicker, less acurate etc ETA 2892 shitter.

Get real. The watch was well chosen. Bond asa character wasnt a fucking watch nerd and dont give a shit about "soulful" movements and all that nonsense. Never did.
