I’ve been eyeing up the tissot prx powermatic 80. I’ll never be able to afford a Royal Oak and you are getting a similar product for 5% of the cost. They really punch a lot higher than their price

Nice, I like a blue dial. Damn, those Royal Oaks are expensive.

They are very nice though.
Did you guys see that Tiffany-Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus? Retails for $52K, one just sold at auction for $6M. LOL.

Just general Powermatics, from what I've seen. If there's been a PRX it would've gone quick, the hotuk bunch are all over stuff like that

It's all about Uranus for me
(I actually quite like the Earth, Mercury and Pluto ones as well as Uranus)
I might get one next time I'm in London if they're available

Aren't they limited production runs? If so they will be all over Fleabay and Chrono24 for £1500.00 a pop next week

Obviously people are already scalping the fuck out of them but to the best of my knowledge they're not super limited

I just bought a Zenith Defy in white ceramic so I should probably just stop for a while. It's reaching the point of an intervention being requred. TBF it fucking slaps and I have no regrets

Do the neighbours ever complain about the ticking sound coming from your house?

Tangentially, this is why everything is so fucking expensive. Savings arent worth having so everyone is piling into collectables with their spare money.
Its why this new swatch is going to be a PITA to find.

TBF it fucking slaps and I have no regrets I went through this stage a few years ago. I was also heavily into the youtube content providers, it was costing me a fortune I've stopped now as I started to realise how toxic the watch community is, all the big youtubers (TGV, bark and jack etc.) are in the pocket of the grey market grifters who are constantly driving the preowned prices up. I think when the American youtubers (mainly made up of grey market grifters) started turning their content into awful reality TV shows I'd just had enough of it all. And that's before you even get to the stink that is Rolex. Plus I just can't afford it anymore...

I'm down to two, got a 2021 Aqua Terra 41mm blue dial on bracelet and Seamaster 300m professional white dial on black rubber strap. They cover all bases for me. If I ever have any money again I'm constantly on the look out for a Navitimer, I've had two in the past and its the only watch I really miss.

There's a new Navitimer coming soon. Not seen any images myself but a couple of the Facebook groups I'm in have admins requesting not to put them up.
That Swatch x Omega watch seems to have triggered a lot of people. Something about devalueing the Omega brand. Even though Swatch own them(?)

Even if I found 200 quid on the floor outside Swatch, I don’t think I could wear it in case everyone thinks I paid a grand on eBay for it

They have said they aren't limited, but are only available in flagship stores which will prevent lots of people getting them.
The new material is really interesting and I love the nods to past versions - the Alaska hands on the Mars, a dot above 90 bezel, and most importantly the stepped dial.
But, and it's a massive but, the sub dials really let it down. They are in the wrong positions (2,6,10 instead of 3,6,9) which totally wrecks the dial symmetry. The minute and hour sub dials have switched position, which isn't the end of the world, but the minute register is now 60 instead of 30 minutes with only 5 min steps marked, which would make it harder to read.
I know those buying these will probably never use the chrono function but considering how much they have got right, it's a shame.
