The Oris 65 came to mind as well, but yeah it's over $1k.

Echo the recommendation for the Longines Hydroconquest.
I own modern Omega Seamaster Diver 300M and Longines Hydroconquest and they are very comparable. The Omega is nicer, but not 4x (price difference) nicer. Maybe 15%.

Haha, i don't mind it. Logos in the middle of the watch are pretty much the norm across the board. And this logo doesn't bother me the way it does some.
Logos in general do not bother me but CW's is a dealbreaker. They look to have some cool pieces but I hate that long boring text logo so much that I'd never consider one. At least other logos are compact/symetrical. The Christopher Ward logo looks like someone tried to design the a watch dial using Microsoft Word.

It's such a stupid thing for me honestly otherwise it's a great looking watch
I have the blue CW Trident 600 and it has been a great watch, wearing it right now actually. The logo doesn't really stand out, at least not to me.
It's a beautiful watch
I would have already bought one of their subs in black if it didn't have the text. Probably my favorite sub under $3K otherwise. Just a shame.TXAG 05 said:

Hands on with MoonSwatch.

Incoming. 57k brand new full set
I aspire to be at y'all's level, where you can drop 50k on a watch and not think twice about it, good hunting
Christopher Ward has some new watches dropping tomorrow. A pic of them has leaked. Looks like those with a dislike of the logo should be pleased. 
I can only afford 7 of these. Please don't ask me to buy 8.FTAC2011 said:

I can drop it as long as I sell it within a week
That is about $5k less than you will find elsewhere on the GM.

That's how I roll
You can sell me a 126720VTNR for about 5 grand less than secondary if you wouldn't mind.
Yeah it surprised me when I realized the gap in price between the root beer and the solid gold GMT.
Rolex is banking on that solid gold one. What a markup
If they were the same price I'd still take a root beer over solid gold.

My buddy has this watch. Spent last weekend with him and was telling him that it was running somewhere around $50k these days. He was shocked and had no idea.
Sent him this pic and he's in shock all over again. Watch was gift from his dad many years ago. Never really looked at the price before although I'm sure his dad paid quite a bit less than $50k.

What? Customers aren't thrilled it's not Omega quality?!?
seems like a pretty fair review. Looks very "plasticy", which I guess shouldn't be a shock.

The quick shot of the buyer who swapped out the velcro strap for a black & gray NATO looks sharp, IMHO.
I went to the Galleria last weekend and walked by the Swatch store as I was leaving. I stopped and looked at the moonswatch window display. They look really cheap imo. Too cheap to spend what they're asking.

$2k or $265?
I read early on that the moonswatch strap appears to be the same velcro strap that's like a $150 option for the moonwatch. Wonder if that's correct or if the strap says swatch on it somewhere
The strap says Swatch on one side and Omega on the other. Not exactly the same as the Moonwatch velcro.
It looks like something you'd buy a young kid as thier first watch. Its closer to happy meal quality than $250. It looks to be worth about $50 to me. I walked over with low expectations and they weren't met.

Well that's about the going rate for most swatch products, isn't it? So i guess that's not surprising
you might need to wait for the Casio Collab
probably higher quality.Diggity said:
