They're all integrated steel sports watches with blue dials. The point is to consider details.

Also, I had a second slide including the Santos, Land Dweller, Twelve, and Laureato. The former two are on here twice as their iconic/main colour isn't blue. pic.twitter.com/tuWZegUw9b

A Tissot and a Patek are literally like Black and White! What is she talking about?!?

Yep. My point was they're comparing a Porsche to a Toyota Camry...they aren't "all white" to us watch nerds.

Not super high end, but very special. This is my grandfathers watch that he bought in 1976. It has his initials that match mine and my sons.

Not trying to brag, but my 3 year old picked out my watch today. Talk about high horology.

He's just already on phase 10.

there's a new phase for gen z'ers apparently....buying superclone watches in bunches. I didn't know that was a thing until I stumbled down a recent and random rabbit hole on reddit. You've got kids buying a half dozen rolexes at a time at 300-800 a piece, and so much why. I don't know why a 24 yr old would walk around pretending to own 250k worth of watches with a 50k a year job fresh out of school, but alas here we are. Maybe it's the evolution of the 30k millionaires of the early 2000s with the entry level BMWs, but can't afford to eat or pay rent.

Interesting. My wife just shared a video with me last week about some watch company that makes almost direct clones of other high-end watches at around the 500-800 price point. They have their own brand name which is weird and I can't recall it. Actually, saw one at a local consignment shop that carries watches.

AI came up with these brands as possibilities:
San Martin best "nearclone" quality
Lorier best vintageclone aesthetic
Baltic best dresswatch clones
Zelos best modern luxuryinspired builds
Also mentioned Christopher Ward.

Got it repaired at Swiss Chrono based on FTaC recommendation. Will be nice to finally be able to wear.
