Unless you're buying truly crappy quartz watches or stuff with cheap plating that's going to wear off, almost anything can be an heirloom.
Anyway, even here’s interesting heirloom watch, and surprisingly, it’s actually quartz.

if by "long lasting" he means durability, then a g-shock has every other watch beat.
even if he's talking about a watch being worth it as an heirloom that's still wrong, because there are plenty of watches under $10k MSRP that would make great heirlooms. datejust, submariner, gmt master, certain omegas, etc.
saying that buying any watch between $2k and $10k is throwing money away is an objectively garbage take

When it comes to these intricate time keepers 4 or 5 watch houses sit at the top "including the holy trinity ap,pp,vc reigning supreme ",and when your cruising up there, a $2k,$8k watch isnt worth wasting your $$$$ if you aiming for a high end watch… thats why i laugh and actually look down upon donkeys who buy rolex's. They think owning that sh!tty house brand gives them a different footing among others "i mean it does when were talking casio,seiko,timex brands" . Not wearing a watch or wearing a digital watch will earn you more respect among watch collectors than these rolex [[[[[[wanna be's]]]]]]]]

lol interesting. I wonder if this will be the longstanding sentiment. I remember crucifying the ALange Odysseus when that came out but it definitely grew on me. I like it as a patek offering because they don't have a single non-sports casual watch outside of the weekly calendar. But absolutely giving "field watch" vibes. Also pretty sure msrp is just over 30k unless i'm mistaken.

Also, just saw enforcer just said his watch is one you manually wind. Is that pretty common on the watches y'all wear? Seems kinda tedious to me although I am sure it is a far more complicated movement than most others. Looks like a nice watch regardless.

i only have one manual wind watch (vintage omega) and it's actually kinda nice to wind it up myself every couple of days. i like the mechanical feel of winding the watch
