£15.5k versus £350..
Is the new titanium fifty fathoms really 44 times better than its bioceramic cousin?

Fairly new to watch collecting. Super fast collecting journey! I've had a bit of everything, small gold pretty watches, large rugged watches, vintage British field watches. From Casio to Patek and eve...

No.
All watches are overpriced to one degree or another. I look at the CW watches I own and the Omega’s that I own and I ask myself why something from omega costs 10 times more than a CW. Saying that, I hate these swatch collaborations. It’s plastic. Mass produced.
Yes 😉👍🏻

I love it in this black colourway. Not captured well here, but the sunburst dial and indices are very much like the real thing. The black case super discreet. It wears really well on a zero pass smartwatch type band. And the mass produced movement is at least very interesting to look at with the glass rotor.
That's definitely the colourway I would pick if I got one. Was excited for them until I found out the movement cannot be maintained or repaired.
Probably not. But neither is a plastic watch with a throwaway movement worth £350. In both cases you are being taken advantage of by brand marketing.
Ever heard about exponential increase? 😜Never assume it has to be linear. Maths aside, of course not! But I wouldn’t buy any of those. One is plastic and probably two times overpriced, the other one is well made but easily 10 times overpriced.
i‘d always take the „real deal“
„bioceramic“ is plastic with a fancy name! No more, no less!

Oh it is plastic. But it’s also kind of the real deal in its own way. It’s legitimately got Blancpain on the dial. Its mechanical. It’s just just its mass produced.

that’s your point of view. and a lot of people think like you. that’s ok. cheers 🥃
Yes. This is the release of the year for me and we haven’t even seen watches and wonders yet
44 x the price?! Woah. I'd say not.
