Glorified fashion watch from a jewelry-based brand. I like a modestly sized vermeil silver Tank, but that’s a steep price for a modern model that’s been entirely machine made from head to toe apart from the strap and clasp. Yay for vintage, nay for new.

That’s not to say Cartier isn’t a worthwhile brand (I believe the exact opposite) but when €6000 only gets you an exercise in design that wasn’t really much of an effort, no way bro. I’d seek out a 30 year old model for a few thousand less.

Nah. I recently sold a mod watch that had a Pagani Design inner assembly and used a 5 digit sub case. Buyer loved the fit and finish, and everyone that had something to say about it on my wrist said something along the lines of “that’s cool, kind of looks like a Rolex, right?”

Never bothered me, really. What bothers me is when snobs attack watch modders because they can approach the look and feel of expensive watches without spending the wad of cash previously needed.

400g maybe? The closer we get to half a kg the happier we are.

I’m surprised there are people willing to spend that much money to lug around a precious Tudor. They’re not THAT costly to begin with so why would you shoot yourself in the foot with a 250g gold dive watch?

My wish for a 925 in 37mm on a full silver bracelet has been wiped out, and I see others in the comments with the same desire albeit in 39mm

I think everyone and their mother expected Tudor to do the Coke bezel. It was written in the clouds, really. The rose gold looks really off when matched with the red.

A watch enthusiast who dislikes quartz watches to the point they’re willing to publicly put down anyone who likes them is by no means worthy of being a watch enthusiast. Everyone worth their salt knows there are plenty of redeeming qualities behind quartz, and plenty of quartz movements carrying insane functions or even little embellishments like a sweeping seconds hand. People out here really buy $10k watches that won’t survive a drop onto tile flooring and cope stating quartz watches have no soul despite being tenfold more durable, precise and usable on a daily basis.

Yay for quartz, but I’m not a huge fan of the more basic cheaply made analog movements. I expect my analog quartz watches to be robustly made with a perfectly still (and aligned) beat or a sweeping seconds hand like in the case of a Spring Drive (kinetic quartz hybrid) or a Precisionist. Heck, even the VH31 is a solid choice and I still don’t get why Seiko doesn’t use it as standard in their quartz/midsize offerings.

It’s a bit meh to me, especially with the recycled endlinks. For $4500 I’d expect at the very least some brand new sculpted and polished endlinks that continue the jubilee look.
