Dutch, tall, not particularly interested in premium or luxury brands but rather focused on microbrands and Weird stuff. That's "Weird" with a capital W for all of you who weren't paying attention.
Yes your view of pricing tends to shift once you dive in, it's important to remain grounded n reality! For most people, $8500 is a huge chunk of cash- even when you make six figures. Just calculate how many weeks worth of groceries, months of mortgage/rent or tanks of fuel that is to keep things in perspective.
Also, don't panic if it is out of reach for now. It's not an essential item and it's always better to have food on the table than a nice watch on the wrist. Keep your priorities straight and you'll get there eventually!
commented onDo watch brands bring out too many models?·
I think this is a problem that isn't limited to the watch industry. Apps like Tiktok, Youtube and Instagram make it possible to see something else every thirty to sixty seconds or so. Hype come and go faster than ever before. Modern production techniques make it possible to adapt to demand far quicker than it used to be. There are near-infinite options to choose from, whether it be food, clothing, cars, TV, music or indeed watches. The problem is with the consumer, the brands are just trying to meet the demand.
These watches are extremely far apart in terms of style (The Tudor and OMS less so than the Longines and any of the other two) so it really comes down to your own personal preference. Up to this post I had never heard of the Ole Mathiesen, so for me the choice would be between the Tudor and the Longines-- and for me, the Longines will win that hands down every time. But once again, that's me. I'm not you.
