I think your're supposed to service rolex every five years but I don't do it if it's running fine
My more than a decade old “non-luxury” watch

not sure what longines and rado cost but tissot can be bought in the low hundreds I think, whereas Rolex SS cost thousandsI thought longines & rado & tissot were luxury but then I’m no expert
I guess it’s like the difference in cost between YSL & Chanel - people not into it think they are about the same price.
I love how sleek ceramic rados are.
Did they inspire Chanel or vice versa?
I have an old rado watch I just adore. Ive not seen anyone else with it and receive compliments. I certainly could have purchased a more expensive watch by now but I stick with old lol. Can’t remember exactly what I paid but I believe it was around $1,300 which wasn’t cheap, especially back in the 1990s.I thought longines & rado & tissot were luxury but then I’m no expert

Yes. Looking into it tissot are a bit cheaper than R & L
R&L are in the £1-2k bracket here
Tissot really are great value aren’t they?
Some of these luxury watch models are crazy expensive, like Drake’s sex watch, but to each his own.
yes, I think Tissot, which is a mechanical watch, is a great value
they're not fancy and not a status symbol but a perfectly respectable watch....personally I'm not into showy watches anyway
Old thread but how is this for pure and simple design ?
1993 Everday Classic
1993 Everday Classic
if I had it to do over, I think I'd get this rather than my rolex
Far cheaper that’s for sure
Rolex one of the elite brands lucky you
service on rolex is much more expensive
Crikey that’s a great price.
Well worth a punt as mine hasn’t missed a beat for 30 years.
Apart from batteries
