That tiffany dial nautilus is so expensive because it was basically only given to celebrities.
Can you imagine paying 2.7 million for a watch that "retails" at 50,000 and sells for 80,000 in another color, and probably costs 5000 to make. Its a big ol' goofy world.

Goofy marketing video but he goes through the whole range of Seamasters with some good close up shots.

So, it's pronounced "Oh-me-gah"?

Is the crypto watch bubble still going strong?

Those "Oh-Mee-Gahs" are indeed beautiful...but not for me. I do have a dress watch I can wear...think it's 1950's...a gold Lord Elgin. Definitely NOT water resistant.

This is a fun watch but I think they want $4k. Kermit shows up on the first of the month. I might be done with mechanical watches. I work out doors and doing handyman jobs enough to not want to wear one of my nice watches so I'm going to pick up something digital and disposable. |

Cool watch Otto but... "The complete set of "Omega Seamaster 75th Anniversary Collection".
- Note the blue face gets darker as their depth rating goes deeper. Rather cool!

There is only one Omega I like and thats this one
I just don't get Omega that much. Their styling is all over the place. I haven't bought a watch in six years. I don't know when I'll buy another one unless its a G-Shock. Maybe if I want to splurge I'll go for a Suunto. I still have my Suunto Favor for my diving computer. Its more then 20 years old and still working as far as I know. Its in my dive bag so I haven't look at it in a while.

This is a cool and fun watch. Swiss made for not a lot of money.

I think its a little ridiculous on the swatch groups part, but I guess the temptation was too great after the moonswatch success.
Can't wait for the plastic er bioceramic Breguet Tourbillion. All in good fun I suppose for an industry that has taken itself too seriously for a while.

Yes ridiculous but there are dedicated factories in China that only produce Swiss knock off watches & The CCP has done nothing to shut them down. I'm guessing but maybe the Swatch group decided to present an alternative?
BTW: A used Blancpain 50 Fathoms is worth around $20k! This is the 70th anniversary version. Rather nice but you'd be walking around with the equivalent of a really good used car on your wrist.

you can get a pretty nice preowned modern Fifty Fathoms for less than 8k, alot of monies but cheaper than that second place famous dive watch that is so common
I personally don't love the looks on most of them, but first rotating bezel dive watch is quite the accolade
