Date: September 15th, 2014 12:20 AM Author: Soul-stirring sweet tailpipe Just got a nice raise at work and want to celebrate by blowing money. My hard limit is $10k and I want to buy new not used. Omega or Rolex bros? I've wanted a nice watch for a long time.

I told my wife if I decide to get back into the work game, I'd probably go out and get one before interviewing. I love their moonphase Venice model.
I'm partial to the Nomos because it's slick and German like my thundercock. Interesting that Reddit has seized upon that watch in particular. I think I might have heard about it on Watchuseek when I was looking around for nice German watches to ogle. |

Date: September 15th, 2014 12:26 AM Author: racy pit OP, I nearly bought a nice watch but then realized I couldn't tell the difference if someone was wearing a $300 watch and a $3000 piece. Unless youre one of those rare ppl who are actually into watches for watches' sake--they like the movement/history/etc and not just looking prestigious--I'd encourage you to spend your $$ on something else.
A more expensive watch will not improve your life and you will in all likelihood pull the same girls you would've pulled in a Citizen/Timex/etc. |

Date: September 15th, 2014 12:34 AM Author: insecure factory reset button Don't listen to the timex-wearing geeks ITT. Mechanical watches are a lot of fun to own if you can spare the cash and aren't a penny-pinching poor.
If you are deadest on buying new, get an Omega. Your $10,000 will go farther with an Omega, though the Rolex will depreciate less quickly.
I own both, albeit used/vintage. I really like both brands, but I'm partial to Omega because Rolex has a certain prole prestige that can be annoying. Omega is less well known but still highly respected by those in the know.
you can get really nice used Rolexes for a few thousand. If it's been well-maintained, it will still keep perfect time and look great. Plus, nice vintage watches look neat. My Rolex is from the early '60s but still keeps insanely good time (2-3 min a week).

Date: September 15th, 2014 12:39 AM Author: insecure factory reset button theyre both cool, but Seamaster is the classic look and a good safe bet. Like someone mentioned, i personally would avoid the designs with the overly-gaudy bezels. Also avoid the 007 edition.
EDIT: I love this seamaster design, though I personally prefer white dials and leather bracelet

Date: September 15th, 2014 1:34 AM Author: Chestnut mexican not like that happens too often. anyone seriously considering a rolex cares about what proles think of their watch, so it's a valid point. the schlub sitting by you in the airport or waiting in line with you at the post office is going to take note of a rolex, because that's what they know. much rarer that they appreciate virtually any other kind of watch.
rolex is a fine watch, but people that want one tend to care about average people noticing their watch. that's the point of rolex. |

Date: September 15th, 2014 4:31 AM Author: Slimy amber chapel I just got home from work. The new seadweller has gone under $10k on the grey market for new. If you must buy at an authorized dealer, the Blue/Black GMT seems to be high demand and has the best resale of current new models. You might be able to score a new Daytona for 10k, but it is more like $11k. Sub is fine too. Figure 7500-8k grey new and $8500 authorized dealer new. Milgauss black dial is a nice watch and discontinued but still ~6k new grey market. Check out rolexforums.com
Another option is the tudor blackbay. The blue dial one is nice and $3500. The heritage Chrono is another nice watch.
The only omega I would ever buy new is the classic speedmaster, manual wind with the 1861 caliber. Omega has shit resale value. |

For a dressier watch, I'd recommend Omega simply since it's my preference. Mine is their relatively new >15000 Gauss. It's dressy like all Aqua Terras but also has a lot of unique / in-house aspects to it that make it interesting. If your undergrad isn't engineering, buying a Rolex Milgauss or Omega >15000 Gauss is poseur IMO. |
