Jacob & Co is garbage. There are plenty of brands that just make tacky jewelry and stick chit watches inside of all the diamonds.

You associate with people who make 50,000,000 yearly and post regularly on the misc.

The problem with Jacob and Co is....their stuff is just way too out there. I've never seen a Jacob watch that I actually thought looked good srs. You get ugliness at a premium with Jacob

99% of people should not spend more than few k on a watch.

I make great money and bought a 1k used Omega seamaster from the 1960s in the diamond district in NYC. yeah I can use my phone to check time or buy a smart watch, but I think theres something to be said about checking time the old school way (srs).

Looks like something they found in the titanic wreckage srs, so old, mouldy discoloured strange look

So basically this is just two mindsets.
1. Guys who buy expensive watches for investments
2. Guys who only view watches as a time piece or fashion based item

[img]https://i.imgur.com/StEDQ49.png[img][/QUOTE]guess watches are garbage srs, if you're shopping for a budget watch get a casio, timex, or seiko.

you can buy generic quartz watches from alibaba for like $10. brands like guess just buy the same chinese garbage, put their name on it, and slap on a large markup.

since they're discontinued and pretty rare, i'm seeing listings for like $700 online, which is not worth it at all imo. orient is a solid brand in the $150-$300ish price range though, they make great watches for the price.

Watch collecting always struck me as a strange hobby even when wrist watches still had a lot more utility to them back in the 90's and prior.

But who was phone? I can't imagine going or being anywhere in 2023 where you can't immediately find out what time it is. If not simply ask someone or look up at the sky. Shts not hard. LOL at wasting thousands of $$ to do something people have done for thousands of years.

The main difference must lie in the materials used

Cause some very expensive watches outsource their parts, while some inexpensive watches make all the parts in-shop

Maybe I haven't studied it enough, but I know there are also inexpensive watches that nail the time so ...

I can't really ascertain what makes a watch expensive.

Materials + brand recognition

Citizen, Seiko, Orient, and Grand Seiko are well known to be the most vertically integrated watchmakers in the world. This mean that every part of every one of their watches is made by the watchmaker and not by someone else.

Ironically, those can all be had cheap

Meanwhile, a fukload of more expensive brands are all owned by the "Swatch" group

Longines is owned by swatch, for example

I buy some expensive watches that aren’t for investment purposes. I just like them.

A watch will never tell time as accurately as a phone will.

It's more of a sentimental purchase.

One day you could hand your son your vintage watch and say "I remember wearing this watch the day I decided to not pull out and shoot a batch in your mother, you're welcome"
