Your posts remind me of that Abe quote "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."
I own many Omega and some Heuer, and I've actually had a TAG Monaco CW2113. Would not recommend the TAG Monaco. Would not recommend TAG. Modern Omega isn't top luxury, but to put it "on par with Heuer" is pretty ignorant. Not sure if you should be giving people recommendations when it comes to watches

What the hell did you just say about modern omega not being acceptable as luxury?
And I don't like TAG either. Sorry if my opinion of a lot of Rolex and Omega's current lineups aren't that great hurts some peoples feelings I guess, or maybe that brands like Oris are good tool watches but not luxury watches.

I dont think anyone can really decide whether or not they're worth having or not just based on what the piece is.
Good lord. You bought a bunch of ceramic pieces of sh*t to show off and think you're a knowledgeable collector.
Let me give you a piece of advice: The only worthwhile rolex left right now (new) is the explorer II.

Kid, let me help you out. Your thoughts are unpopular here because you are a dick and your "thoughts" are nothing but the 're-write' from a few bad blogs. Pretty simple really. Now, go outside and play.

Sure they've made improvements too like better bracelets, but this new image of rolex has just killed it for me with the new watches. They are upsizing them too unfortunately. A 41mm datejust is just unbuyable to me. The reality is they're doing that because theyre marketing them to average joes who want something big that they can wave around and show off, rather than a subtle 36mm that appeases the true watch aficionado.
I'm purely talking about horological value, I'm not saying the watches are garbage or anything but… the current lineup does not show much of what the rolex heritage actually is.

thoughts on breitling? I just bought myself a super avenger II. Doesn't really seem like breitling gets much love in this thread. I thought it looked quite a bit more masculine than the tags and omegas.

some other models are a bit blingy with the fully polished cases, etc, and they have become somewhat affiliated with the hip-hop and rap community which is a big turn off to some people.
none of that matters tho, if you like it, then wear it. I think people fall into the trap of buying things purely because they're expensive, which gives the idea of luxury, but they dont know much about them, or even really like them, which is when you find yourself asking "is this any good" after you already bought it. at least that's the impression i get when i hear people ask questions like that after a purchase.
if you look down at your wrist and say "man that looks nice, i really like that" and you feel happy even if its a ****ing 30 dollar timex then who gives a **** what anyone else says or thinks about it.

I agree ln TAG vs Omega. But modern Omega does rustle me in their design choices. There's maybe 2 pieces in any Omega boutique I even care to look at. My white with blue accents Aqua Terra is my only semi modern Omega.
Been wearing this daily lately. Has dat soul that I feel modern Omega is losing.

If you think Omega is really that good, I've got some bad news for you.
It is a commodotized watch they anyone in a white collar job can afford, or aspire to afford. Both Tag and Omega fall in the category tier far below Rolex, which is the entry point to great watches in my opinion.
It all really depends on demographic you fall into for watches. For me, TAG and Omega are the same. They are both average watches.
And lol at your watches wisdom here.

You tackle your own arguments in your argument. As if the Rolex demographic is any less plebeian than Omega's and Tag's.

Come at me amateurs.
Rolex is a higher tier than Omega. By far. You have given away your poverty status and amateurish game in watches by your very arrogant and ignorant post. You win the Internet.
And for aspiring watch fans, please do not limit yourself to Omega. They are butt ugly. Take a look.
