The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

[JamesInLondon]

Really impressed with the Piaget Altiplano Extreme Tourbillon watch, 2mm thick with a tourbillon which is flying in the extreme, it isn’t held at either the top or the bottom, rather it rotates in a ball race.

It’s an amazing piece of Horology, but they are only making 15 and the price is €600,000. Looks like they are going after the RM clientele

I really like all of these too

The Overseas is the only attractive one.

It is nice. I just really want a titanium YM because I can't get one.

That Rolex kinda gives off an Invicta vibe.

My personal favorite from the show… kind of from the show.

I am increasingly convinced I made a good choice.

Agreed; Cartier Santos Dual Time is delicious... But this is gonna be grail

This IS a super cool watch, but I agree with much of the critique pointing out that anyone with 30k+ to blow on a watch, could do much better than a Tudor. Ironically, that sort of positions this watch as the ultimate wealth flex, insofar as the owner doesn’t mind blowing 30k+ on a Tudor. Both of these scenarios bother me.

The reason of better options existing today is why it’ll be a grail in the future

One can only hope that "grail" collector culture no longer exists in the way it does today by the time that Tudor is old enough to become a collector's item.

Collector culture will exist until our alien overlords turn us into cogs in the machine of life

Who is going to buy that at the sticker price over the moonshine gold Speedy that's going for thousands less? I predict big discounts at ADs.

It will be purchased by people who are required to purchase it in order to get the Rolex they actually want.
