Teach a Young-Blood Watch Common Sense

Hey All,

我正在毕业于A1职位,并希望拥有可靠,时尚,日常,受人尊敬的日常手表,以告诉时间并看起来不错。有几个问题,请您观看头目,并希望从您的经验中听到,因此我接受了花钱的教育。

Where I'm at:I am currently looking to spend $1,500-$4,500 max really and have been scoping out the classic Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra and Omega De Ville Prestige (I know these are more $3,500-$5,00 pieces, but oh my god are they beautiful... and simple!). These seem like great watches that I won't "grow out of" over the next 10 years.

What I want:A watch that is flexible enough visually to wear with a dress shirt during office hours, business formal, and around town (asking too much?). I love the Seamaster I pointed to earlier, but am a little skeptical of whether it could do all three of these as it I would want the sea blue dial.但是我没有太多的手表专业知识,会搭配一系列服装吗?De Ville似乎可以使用中性的白色和银色。

其他问题

1) Is it dumb to have this expensive a watch as a daily?I don't have money to drop on a few watches and want BANG for my buck. So maybe it would make more sense to buy a ~$1,000-$3,000 piece? I'm thinking in terms of wear and tear and if I get mugged ever. Would suck throwing away $5,000 like THAT.

2)在这类手表上的磨损外观如何?投资价值在我的脑海中 - 我们都喜欢保留/欣赏尽可能多的价值。但是,与此同时,我希望这是我可以在接下来的十年中保留的手表。几年的穿着会被打败吗?我实际上只会将其戴在办公室,客户会议和Mayyyybe个人狗屎上,但这似乎有点额外 - 也许会付出500- $ 1,500 - 我不知道。

3)从某些视频中,大自然的遗产60周年“超人” SBGP007作为潜在的投资作品,Crackhead建议?听起来像公平的逻辑,60周年纪念日,只有2500个流通,如果您可以接触到一个。但是,有些市场在被认为是“赢家投资”的情况下的运作方式与其他市场有所不同 - 人们会忙吗?我之所以感兴趣,主要是因为它具有简单的表盘和漂亮的蓝色调子,再说一次,拥有投资作品会很酷 - 尽管很可能会使它减少“日常佩戴手表”。也导致最后一点...

4) Are Quartz watches shit, I mean this is a Quartz - IAM在这样的印象是,名字比看起来更多。在这款手表时,这是一个大精人,不要与精工混淆,这些显然是质量的。I have heard Quartz's are not something one should mess with.

In all,thank you for reading this far, have a lot to learn and am trying to pick up stuff as I go. Have a lot of questions and not too many friends that I would trust for sound, expensive watch advice.

非常喜欢,

Dan

BitcoinBonanza, 你怎么看?以下评论:

I think both options you're looking at would be great for a first watch. The Aqua Terra (assuming it's on a steel bracelet) might be a bit more versatile in terms of variety of situations (sporty enough for casual clothes & sports watches with suits have become acceptable) but there are also people who wear gold Patek Calatravas with t-shirts, so who's to say you can't do the same with the De Ville?

On your other questions:

1) Is it dumb to have this expensive a watch as a daily?No one can really answer this except you. The way to think about it is: assume the value goes to zero tomorrow (i.e. it gets stolen, watch market crashes, that model becomes unpopular, etc.). Will your financial situation still be OK? If so, then ask yourself if wearing a watch is something that really means something to you. If it is, then I would say to get the one you really want right now, rather than some kind of substitute, because otherwise you will quietly be yearning for the other one and it'll ruin your enjoyment of the substitute.

顺便说一句 - 也因自动手表的服务成本而言,这可能是每4 - 5年以上的100美元以上,具体取决于手表和制表师进行服务。例如,如果您希望Omega这样做,则可能是每次服务300美元以上,这增加了整体成本。对于机械(即不是石英)手表而言,维修或多或少是强制性的,除非您真的不在乎它,并且不介意它慢慢地陷入困境

2)在这类手表上的磨损外观如何?Again - it depends on how you wear it. My TudorBBGMT has a lot of scars after 1-2 years of ownership due to hiking and other physical activities, whereas some of my other watches just acquired some minor marks from rubbing against things over the same period of time (which can generally be polished out without issue during service time, if so desired).

I would also caution you against thinking about value retention (or at least using that as a main criteria) when it comes to buying a watch. Although the market is currently in a bubbly hysteria, there's no guarantee that this will go on indefinitely and the market could well crash by the time you want to sell it. The annoying truth is that most watches have historically lost, not gained, value.

3)从某些视频中,大自然的遗产60周年“超人” SBGP007作为潜在的投资作品,Crackhead建议?GSdoes a lot of limited editions these days; I wouldn't consider it a selling point if you don't like the watch. I'm not familiar enough with that specific model to comment further on this one

4)是石英手表狗屎,我的意思是这是一个石英 - 我的印象是,名字比看起来更多。在这款手表时,这是一个大精人,不要与精工混淆,这些显然是质量的。石英手表使用电池和cheaper since it's cheaper to manufacture them. Technically, they are leagues more accurate (and thus fundamentally better at being a watch) than mechanical watches, but watches have since evolved into an art / jewelry niche so accuracy isn't the important factor anymore. Most watch enthusiasts collect mechanical watches as it operates on energy stored from a spring (either wound by hand or by an automatic winding rotor) and there's a lot more interplay of springs and gears to make it work.

I wouldn't write off a watch just because it's quartz, but a few things to keep in mind:

  • The seconds hand will tick (1 beat per second), not sweep (generally 6-8 beats per second), for most quartz watches. Some find the sweep seconds to be an attractive feature so something to keep in mind
  • 如果您坚持转售价值为标准,那么石英手表通常比机械构成更大的估值发型
  • Some mechanical watches have sapphire casebacks, which lets you see the mechanism inside and can be fun to look at. Since quartz watches don't have the same number of moving parts, they usually don't have this feature

Hope that helps

丹西尔, 你怎么看?以下评论:

Thank you for the feedback Bonanza, very helpful.

With all of this in mind, I think my best course of action is spotting a discounted pre-owned Seamaster on a reputable site like Chrono24 and have it checked by a professional for their back of envelope opinion - if unlikely fake I can rely upon website authentic guarantee. If it somehow ends up a frankenwatch, if it works like an Omega then that's what I care about, doesn't need all the papers and stuff, it will be a beater after all.

Your point on whether I even feel comfortable wearing that money on my wrist is a good point, will keep in mind and be safe with it! If I get mugged, I get mugged, life goes on.

TheBuellerBanker, 你怎么看?以下评论:

I'm a proud wearer of the aqua terra and can testify it goes with literally everything. Good choice and solid pricing in the pre-owned market. Also check Tourneau's pre-owned inventory as they seem to carry a ton of Omega usually.

Simia Pecuniaria, 你怎么看?以下评论:

With that budget in mind, I'd go for a Speedmaster. Timeless classic, very versatile and does not look out of place if you're wearing a suit

I'm actually a squirrel, 你怎么看?以下评论:

The Aqua Terra is a great first watch. Get it on the bracelet, then get the rubber strap too to dress it down when needed. I ultimately picked the Datejust over it for my first, but that was back when you could get one new under list price. Now that only the AT can be had under list - would definitely recommend the AT.

I'm actually a squirrel, 你怎么看?以下评论:

Also watches are not investments. Get the one you like - the one that speaks to you (preferably under retail price, so definitely look into buying used if you're okay with that). If the market price goes up, good for you. If it goes down - who cares? You've got a great watch that you enjoy everyday, and that's how you derive value from it.

Whatever1984, 你怎么看?以下评论:

Honestly, If you're questioning then don't. $5k (4k if you do sneaky grey market) is a lot of coin. Nobody's going to judge you. I wear sub $500 watches most days but own a mint 62 seamaster and a 6105. Granted I have 10 letters after my name but a $500 apple watch is fine. Buy a fancy watch if you want to not because you feel required to

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.

Mayoineko, 你怎么看?以下评论:

Get a Speedmaster (the classic Moonwatch). Even if you get more expensive pieces down the road there will always be a spot in a collection for the Speedy.

This is not bad advice, although the guy wearing a Rolex GMT who makes $100k less than me (he has family money) did comment "God D*** that's a nice watch" on my SKX so don't equate money with quality.
