MWC - Official Misc Wristwatch Crew Part VI: Patek or Bust - READ the OP

[ProudKraut]

Holy fuk. Did you brahs see this new release from omega? 1. Omega flexing their muscles pricing this at $11,800 (while they’ve been increasing prices on all their other models); 2. Fuking HNNNNNGH. I thought the blue dial variant (the only one with the integrated rubber bracelet which I think is a must have for this watch personally) was already a great watch, but this new black/grey variant takes it to another level. I’m not a fan of titanium (would prefer steel or even white gold) but the dial is insane.

I could see catbrah buying this

Nice one, I missed this. The grey dial looks pretty awesome, BUT:

-rubber strap only, meh
-same movement, just a cosmetic update
-1.5k more expensive new without the bracelet even
-can get the beautiful blue one for 7k

Still hnnnnng, would like to see the titanium version on the steel bracelet (or titanium)

It is expensive as fuark brah. Even the blue world timer retails for nearly $10k now on Omega's website (haven't been tracking Omega retail prices, but it seems like they're trending up up up). The blue world timer still sells for $6.5-7k secondhand, though. I wouldn't be surprised if secondhand prices on world timers go up until eventually being a $8-10k watch used (srs). There just aren't any good options for a similar watch, so I think Omega can flex their muscles with it (as we see them doing with the titanium world timer).

I will say that I love the integrated rubber strap and think it is one of the most iconic/unique design features of the world timer. There are lots of watches with nice bracelets, but very few watches with nice integrated rubber straps that look as good as Omega's IMO

Went to a private event at my local Hublot shop. Not really my style but I do like the history, etc of them and the fact that they take huge risks.

Love seeing panick threads on TRF about BLNR prices...

das it mane, das it
not that i have $15k to blow on a watch, but i'm hoping rolex prices continue to drop

yes they take risks but they're tacky AF, not to mention most of their entry/mid-level models use reworked ETA movements

Thats me really. The moment i go "maybe i should toss out 15K cause this has sat there for over a month" i go "well...why not just wait for the right time."

lmao i know that feel. i remember the good old days a few years ago when even spending over $100 on a watch was preposterous to me.

now i'm casually on chrono24 looking at $15k watches like "oh that's a pretty good deal" knowing damn well i don't plan to drop that much on a watch any time soon

[Unstumpable]

I had a friend reach out and say his dad was wanting to get rid of his batman. He said he'd let me get it for 12k. A 2018 model. Texted me pictures today and it was a James Cameron deep sea. lol

Nice watch, but I don't need another sea dweller.

Yeah. $15k isn’t an insane lowball but don’t offer unless you will pay promptly.

How much have you spent on watches this year?

[LinuxJon]

This year isn't bad. Cartier Santos and the Halios/Topper collab, and now this. Last year was bad. Fifty Fathoms, Sea-Dweller, DateJust, Tudor Royal (for wife), plus I think 5-6 Halios pieces. I know my insurance value is over $100k but I'm scared to think about specific numbers.

This is the part where I should probably disclaim that anything not on my wrist is split between a couple safety deposit boxes, so plz don't rob me unless you really need cat paraphernalia.

How do the three divers compare? (SD43 vs Omega SMP vs FiftyFathoms) I feel like the omega wouldn’t get as much wear anymore with your recent acquisitions
