Chris 154 Share Posted March 10, 2015 If you had $10,000 to spend on one watch, would it be the Apple watch or a hand-crafted mechanical watch? Some popular brands for mechanical watches ($10,000 range) are: Omega The speedmaster The seamaster (diving watch) Breitling The navitimer cosmonaut The superocean (diving) Rolex (I don't know much about rolex) Tag Heuer The Formula 1 The auqaracer (diving) Or would you rather have a new piece of tech which has 1000x more function than the above watches, but will suffer from durability and reliability issues?

Ericthecmh 184 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Why the fk would I spent 10k on a watch in the first place? I'd buy a watch then sell it and buy something more practical. If I had to keep the watch though, I'd go for the mechanical (I don't have an iPhone and never will) Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris 154 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Why the fk would I spent 10k on a watch in the first place? I'd buy a watch then sell it and buy something more practical. If I had to keep the watch though, I'd go for the mechanical (I don't have an iPhone and never will) This is just hypothetical. I just want to see what people think about the new alternatives. I personally am a huge fanboy of mechanical watches. $3k for an Omega Speedmaster is something I'm willing to spend in the near future (few years) But as far as practicality, expensive watches really don't serve much of a purpose anymore other than family heirlooms and fashion. I will tell you though, a silver mechanical watch makes a suit really stand out. It's the one piece of jewelry that's socially acceptable for a guy to wear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandemic 2469 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I love watches, I don't think I'd buy the gold Apple watch, but it is using their own patented gold alloy (more scratch resistant and lighter), and it's actually made by Tag Heuer (one of my favorite brands). That said, my next watch will probably be an Omega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
