MawaqeetBtoWatches@style.land•[Question] which one of these 4 watches should be my first entry level luxury watch?English1·2 years agoI have a GS, SBGW267.
THAT king Seiko is very very near in finishing to the GS plus that beautiful bracelet which entire GS line doesn’t have and it’s automatic. Go for it.
They released new ones.

MawaqeetBtoWatches@style.land•[why?]Why do people buy so much expensive watches ?English1·2 years agoOk, it seems to me, it’s obvious from your question you probably never handled a luxury watch in person in a (5000$-10000$) segment.
I tell you my opinion geniune opinion: Until 2021 I only owned a Seiko (150$) and a Timex (170¢) I still have the Timex.
One time I decided to be a little bit braver and walked to Bucherer to try a luxury watch on my hand for first time in my life.
The watch was just randomly a Tudor Pelagos 42 (black matte dial) up until this point I never handled a luxury watch in my life.
The first impression was: 😳😯🫨🙆
To translate it: Oh my God!!! This is so beautiful!!! I never seen a watch like this in person!!!
To any untrained eye in watches, it’s extremely obvious the difference in build quality, aesthetics that a watch like the Pelagos was screaming (I am luxury) and this applies to other brands in that segment.
I didn’t buy the watch (I didn’t have the money) at that time, but in my mind I said "oh wow I’d definitely trade 20 (150$) Seikos for this.
It doesn’t mean Seiko is bad or Anything, we just talking about different quality segments even within Seiko. I’m pretty sure those Prospex are screaming luxury too due to their build quality.
From that point, I sold my cheaper watches and I changed my mentality from (quantity) -> (quality).
Bought a Grand Seiko, a Longines and a Hamilton and planning to buy a Breitling Navitimer beginning next year insha’Allah!

Much appreciated 💕
MawaqeetBtoWatches@style.land•[Longines] How do you feel about Longines as a brandEnglish1·2 years agoWe know what that means. Price increase
There’s a 38 version I believe why not try that
And this is a manual wind with no date window, so joyful to wind and not complicated to get it up and ready. I intend to own watches that have no date window generally so I can set them up real quick.
