ROLEX WATCHES: To rolex or not to rolex?

[Sweetlucious]

Rolex or Omega or Breitling or Panerai

Rolex and Omega is kinda old and too safe. Its more for the mid-40s and above, in my opinion.

the design haven't change much. classic ang design. yes, including PP. But I must admit, iba pa rin ung prestige ng mga watch brand na un. Pag nagka apo na ako, maybe I will get one.

yes, TAG buys third party movement (ETA) and modify it. they call their modified movement as calibre. i think breitling has its own in-house movement for B01

I doubt that this is true for the Classic Heuers (pre-TAG acquisition). But after, very likely. ETA almost has a cartel like monopoly on swiss watch movements.

bad trip na ko sa tag, galing ako watchworks nung sang araw, 2 weeks ko iiwan relos ko para lang mapalitan ng batterya....dati hindi naman ganun katagal..pwe

Woah, 2 weeks? Bro, kung hindi na under warranty baka pwede na k mang Andy sa MCS na lang yan papalitan ng battery, baka less than 10 minutes ok na.

Yung Charriol ko mga 3 weeks pinalitan ng battery pero libre kasi under warranty, hehe

This is true, that's why classic Heuers are very desirable pieces. Modern Tags, not as much. Most watch brands don't have their own capacities to manufacture all components inhouse, plus this will make them very expensive. That's why most brands buy ebauches from ETA or Sellita (like Oris), modify them, and give them their own calibre names. But, this is going to change now that Swatch (owner of ETA) has stopped supplying movements to its competitors. We are going to see a lot of in house movements pop out in the coming years.
