maybe this is biased because i have 2 omegas (one vintage seamaster cosmic and a newer aqua terra) but i think in terms of history and quality, omega can go toe to toe with rolex. but they just lack that cool/hype/marketing factor that rolex has.

Sister in Geneva now to make commercial for new Rolex watch(she makes commercials in Europe and lately it’s been watch companies due to the docu she made and they like it). She said only very few are allowed to see it and once inside their building, it is like a secret agent HQ cuz someone in suit always following you.

The moonwatch is the big thing Omega has going for it. It's the "only watch certified by NASA," and is probably the most recognizable chronograph out there. It came out in 1957 whereas the Rolex Daytona didn't come out until 1963. It's great for Omega that they were able to get Seamasters into the James Bond movies, but I think they really need to lean into the Speedmaster if they want to differentiate themselves from Rolex.

I remember being so damn proud of buying this used Longines and doing a chit job of cutting the strap to sort of fit the lugs.
Looking through old pieces over the years is a trip brah.

I want a Lange1, but my dress style wouldn't really compliment a dress watch. Certainly not a $35,000 one. Suppose i could always get the Lange Odysseus right? Sure… if I had $90,000 laying around for a stainless steel watch.
Okay so what about the Glashutte Panomatic Lunar? The poor man's lange which i like almost equally as much. Still that's 7 to 9k on a dress watch…
Omega Speedy Professional? Eh, I'd rather get the grey side of the moon but it is a gigantic beast of a watch for $10k.
The most likely scenario is that i get a grey-market Grey Side of The Moon speedmaster as my next piece. That's just the thing about the watch space. There's tons of pieces I like, but not enough that i would justify swiping my card on them.

Wish they made the air king in a womens size. My sisters a pilot and she’d like that.
I’m thinking her safest bet is just a jubilee fluted bezel date just in blue or silver.

For the "new" AK (i think, have been swamped for work and assuming that's one of them), my guess is it's just adding lume to indices or numbers? The only lume on an AK right now is the 12 o clock/hands. The 3-6-9 are white gold.

although there are some positives tbh, like being able to rock vintage 34mm watches and have them look normal sized on my wrist

New AK is just an added crown guard and the removal of all the green mini markers i think.

Hermes may be new to the watch game, but they are taking it seriously. Totally in-house, solid designs, and some significant complications. They also have something that most other watch brands lack: mass appeal with women. I’m interested to see how this plays out in the long run.
