I mean would you?

I think the takeaway from this thread is that @Poptop2 is absolutely wonderful .

Anyone short I look down on!

 

These days, a Swatch is a Rolex; all are part of the mighty Swatch group .

Nope I'm wrong Omega is, but I don't think Rolex are...they just use lots of Swatch Group parts.

 

Must be, after all,who else could afford to live in Sunny Barnsley?

 

I appreciate Picasso, but the Kiki, I don't see what the fuss is about. What's the history of them?

 

A Happy Joe is fine for me. Had three of them so far.

 

I'd doubt if Rolex are. Rolex's USP is...being Rolex.

 

Reminds me of the old fortune cookie program on early UNIX.

One of the better cookies you hit on logging in was "Does Mickey Mouse wear a [random username] watch?"....


I believe the term was "roasted".

 

Are they mechanical? Being mechanical (and expensive) is about the only way to differentiate these days.

 

Most of the luxury brands seem to have reverted to making high beat mechanical watches these days.

 

The one with a 6R15 in it? Mine looses about a two or three secs a day, as long as it's not loosing charge. That's pretty good for a mechanical, the so called COSC certification is plus or minus two secs per day, I think. Omega and Rolex should achieve that level of accuracy. The spring drives in the Grand Seiko are even better. For perspective, my Casio looses that in a month

 

It’s the only way they can possibly compete.

I can tell you some tales of Swatch in the early days. And how the Swiss watch industry nearly died, due to it having its head firmly up it’s ultra-conservative bum.

 

Yeah, the advent of the quartz movement is a classic case of a disruptive technology at work. The Japanese very nearly handed the Swiss watch industry their backside on a plate. The renaissance in Swiss watch industry is the amazing feat.

 

Back to the tats if you don't want to commit
