  • Some of us are happy for our watches just to tell us what the time is, but some of us are not. There are a handful of people for whom a watch must display not only the time, but the date, the day, the month and even the phase of the moon. Entry to this club will set you back a few thousand pounds, but the upper end seemingly has no limit. Question is-can you tell the difference?

      The whole watch industry thrives on price desensitization. Panerai straps sells for $300. Now that doesn’t seem bad for someone who’s spending $6k on a watch. Until you realize you can get a strapping boot for that price, which obviously need more leather, stitching and craftsmanship to make.

      The Lange is 144p compared to the Greubel Forsey which would be 8k. :-/
      Heck, you couldn't even buy a Greubel Forsey 3 hand movement for the price you pay for the Lange. You can buy 3 of those Lange perpetual calendar watches for the price of 1 Greubel Forsey Signature 1 watch.

    Would you be able to review the construction comparison between the mid-tier luxury watches and the upper-tier luxury watches? The Rolex and Omega are solid robust watches in terms of construction whereas they are long lasting and fit for daily wear. Ignoring the differences in design and artwork behind the upper-tier luxury watches, are they equally robust, long lasting and fit for daily wear?

      The porn comparison made complicated by the porn music in the last part. Oh how lovely.

    Can someone educate me why do the 12 and 6 markers on an a lang & sohne don't line up side by side. One is always higher than the other?
