I own both the Venturer and the Freediver. They are both different enough to not have me grow bored, and sturdy enough for daily wear. Easily stands up quality wise to the mid range like Oris, Mido etc. Reviewed both on my channel if of interest

Hey Beanna! Thanks for the comment and glad you like the video 😀

This is the thing with luxury watches, they are ever so incrementally better with everything. The dials are slightly crisper, the dials are incredible super close up as is the indices. But the question is, as you say, are they worth 1000% more? Beauty and value is in the eye of the beholder as we know so maybe the answer is yes for some, no for others. One thing you can't argue with is movements, say the IWC big pilot I reviewed with its epic power reserve and incredibly soft feeling wind and operating feel through the crown is clearly a luxury product. Thing is, I'd rather walk down the street when I travel and not be a super obvious target for theft so most people I believe may go back to every day wear of low to mid range watches....
