    Let me know who you fly for and I will get my CV into them asap - obviously a higher class of pilots and salary than where I work 🤣

    I’m a professional pilot. I am afraid the news is that I have never seen anyone wearing a Flieger, Bremont, Navitimer, IWC etc.in the cockpit.

    I see a mix of watches that reflect peoples personal...

    Case thickness is the main problem with otherwise great looking watches. My other grumbles are the crown sticking out too far on models with a spacer on the stem and I am not a fan of the rivet...

    I had a Skywalker for a couple of years and is was one of the best watches I have ever owned - except the water resistance which worried me. I think Omega could have put a bit more engineering in to...

    I hope they don’t put a ceramic bezel on any replacement next year. It would be a real shame to loose the defining characteristics of one of the few Professional models that is a bit different. The...

    Before even thinking about the absurd overpricing, it’s a big NO because it has that terrible HEV that Omega seems to want to put on any watch they make with more than 100M water resistance. I don’t...

    I’m not an expert but have had a few of this model and know them pretty well. To me all the accessories look correct for the year of manufacture. The watch looks to be in very good condition....

    I think the same as the last poster. This is arguably worse than 2008 but the difference is quite a few Governments around the World have acted quickly to avoid a repeat.

    The end result will be...

    Those prices mean that many JLC beyond the age of 20 years that needs a service might be considered beyond economic repair.

    Meaning the practical life of a JLC watch is only 20 years.

    I just...

    Unfortunately, this style of Seamaster looks quite dated and there are others in the back catalogue that are far more attractive (Seamaster 300). I realise Omega need to try to build some model...

    As you don’t like the LV that much, if you sold it then it is not likely that you will find yourself in a situation where you were trying to buy one back again. If that is the case then it negates...

    It’s subjective but I don’t like a jubilee on any of the GMT models and will never buy one.

    I don’t know why Rolex cannot make either bracelet an option like they do with Datejusts.

    And don’t...

    Most popular would imply numbers sold which would be the 116710LN followed by the 116710BLNR.

    The Veblen effect does not work on everyone. Many of us who are a little older and have an interest in Rolex developed our first love of the brand from a long running advertising campaign they had,...

    Might work with the Speedmaster which is the only iconic model they have. The rest got changed too often or are too newer designs to be established like many Rolex models. Restricting supply would...

    I agree with previous posts that Omega should lower their prices.

    An economic downturn is likely coming. Midrange watches like Rolex, Omega, Breitling, IWC have all got a bit above themselves....

    On an all steel watch the jubilee + larger case size + bezel with crenelated edge + all the writing on the dial and mercedes hands - just too much going on for me. Very fussy look. Even worse on the...

    Have had mine a few months now and love it. The Rolex GMT2c (with black bezel) is still a favourite but the prices are a little too high for me to wear one every day for all activities (the jubilee...

    Unfortunately, I think you make a good point. Although at least with the family jewellers you can often speak to the owner who will know their stuff and still work there next time you go back.

    I feel WoS is the wrong brand to be celebrating themselves publicly.

    There is nothing grand about them. They are just another high street brand that you see in every major city. Constant turnover...

    Outside watch forums, I think the majority prefer these to the multicoloured bezels and the jubilee. I certainly have a strong want for a GMT2 and a dislike of Jubilee and multi coloured bezel.

    I feel that the number of people buying high value watches without any previous research are now very low. Rolex promote their sports models all over the World regardless of the fact that there are...
