Considering getting a new timepiece. These are the ones I am looking at, all around the same price.
Thoughts? (mostly curious)
Panerai Luminor
Omega Speedmaster (though the O+Swatch kinda kills this for me)
Breitling Transocean Chrono
IWC Portugesier Chrono
- Photoshop out all the brand names and then decide - eg:shapesalad
- 1 - It's a bit of a clunky, confused square round design.
2 - Standard, generic looking mans watch.
3 - modern version of 2.
4 -cheap looking catalogue watchshapesalad - Breitling gets my vote as it's the nicest looking. In terms of logos, I like Omega's logo best.shapesalad
- Speedmaster is too common, I rather have the IWC but in all black. Rolex trumps them all.pinkfloyd
- No Rolex for me, too overhyped and overpriced these days. I used to love the Daytona, but too small and waaay to much for what you get.formed
- I'd only get a black one of any of these. Blue is nice if you have several watches, tho.formed
- How about spending your $3K+ on this instead? https://www.ebay.com…Nairn
- Rolex isn't common?Nairn
- The Breitling looks pretty nice, but I don't like their new logo.pinkfloyd
- Nairn, depends on the rolex modelpinkfloyd

- lol @ shapesalad's opinionspinkfloyd
- Laugh all you want but people buy terrible looking things from a aesthetic perspective based on the fundamentals of design with an origin in nature...shapesalad
- ...purely because a logo is on it. "Oh it's a ___, oh cool" yet without that brand name on it, sold in a cheap shop and you'd think it looked shit.shapesalad

- "confused square round design." lmaopinkfloyd
- all of these are fugly over hyped over priced tat. by all means buy one, but you're wasting your money. a rolex at least will hold its value i suppose.hans_glib
- yep to rolex. agree with Hans. Either get a nice cheap eBay vintage and put a nice strap on it, or get a rolex. anything in-between is a money sink hole.shapesalad
- Panerai, wonderful watchrobthelad
- They all hold their value and are fairly solid investments. Look at the resale. As I noted, Rolex has been overhyped/overpriced for several years now.formed
- Making them a pretty speculative investment at this point (10 years ago it was different). Too common for me, personally.formed
- @ss these are about $6-8k. Can't get a decent watch for $3k, unless it's used.formed
- I do care about a brand name and pedigree. That's where the investment is and what will keep the value.formed
- how are you guys designers without knowing the importance of brandingpinkfloyd
