··Omega Qualified WatchmakerI said best, pound-for-pound, in the mid-level luxury watch segment. I never said they were the “absolute” best, just “relatively” among the mid-level brands. I’ve maintained that stance across all my posts—and many would agree with that claim. No one is comparing a Rolex to PP or ALS. We’re comparing them to Omegas, Breitlings, Cartiers, Panerai’s etc.
And yes, I’m not a “movement expert”, but a movement rated at -2/+2 sec/day (usually even better on wrist), instantaneous date change, anti-magnetism, shock absorbent, etc. the whole works… that should mean something.
Again, this is simply my opinion. My opinion is largely subjective and anecdotal, with some valid/objective underpinnings nonetheless.
Yes, I meant in the sense that you stated, but just didn't feel like typing all that out every time. You are correct, no one is comparing Rolex to PP or ALS, but to "peer" brands.
I'll say it one more time - the issue I took with your post is that the desire for the watch proves it's the best - I don't think I can make my point any more clearly that this doesn't make a lot of sense in the current market when people are buying these based on FOMO and as investments.
We can certainly agree to disagree on this point.
