Actually, I think the owners of prestige mechanical watches are generally twats
Their watches are not as accurate as my relatively inexpensive quartz watch, especially if I splash out on one that has the radio link to the NPL. If I get a watch with a solar panel it will never need a battery, nor regular winding.

As there are fewer mechanical parts in my watch, it will never need servicing and if my modern watch goes faulty or gets lost or stolen, replacing it several times over will still cost less than one oversized TAG/Rolex/Omega/Oris/Brietling.

I'll also not look quite so much like a twat.

you're right,
spend a grand on any of those brands and you'll get shit, but theres loads of good stuff out their if you look further than the local chain store.
