I'd say if it's your first mechanical, then wait for a while until you see them on the secondary used market; the price will be cheaper. Watches like these that have designs that are not timeless tend to lead to a situation where either you continue to love the watch (but it's dated) in the years to come or you move out of the taste you have now into something different and stop wearing the watch. The further you go from timeless designs, the more extreme this situation becomes.

For a skeleton watch, the purpose is to exhibit the beauty and/or complexity of the movement that powers the display. In this Tissot, the finishing of the components is competent but not anything more than mediocre to the eye. That doesn't help the 'beauty' of the movement. As for the complexity; it appears to be a time-only with small seconds at 9...and that's it. So why exhibit a movement if it's time-only?

This watch will look better in the dark.

Right not these are going for 25k on the open market, but I'd suspect this particular watch is not going to be for sale until the owner dies. The condition is immaculate, and it's nearly impossible to find in this condition. So, with premium this watch on the open market would be around 35k or more.

That being said, the market right now is severely depressed for everything except Rolex and Patek because of what Covid did to the world economy. Most people right now are selling, so it's a great time to buy if you know your watch prices.

thinking about getting a "new" Cal 321 Speedmaster but it's kinda expensive for an Omega and I wanted to get a gold watch next year so I'm still on the fence. Sold a couple of midwit shitters though so I'm tempted to just spend the money.

Open question to start things off:

What is your next purchase, or what are you saving up for? Also to be included: Do you have something on order that Corona has delayed?

>pic slightly related: I'm waiting for something similar, yet different, which is probably on a plane right now...

Cheapest tourbillon movement on the market is made by Seagull, and you could get the movement alone for around 400USD.

It's a tourbillon wannabe watch. Fun for people who don't know, cringe for those who do.

I use my chronometer all the time; if you live in a city where the trains come on the second, then having a chronometer makes sense. You'll never be late.

Hmm...well, are you going to take it to your watchmaker, or is it something that can't be fixed? Sorry...too drunk to read your anal ysis seriously as postedabove.

You're a nice anon...what's the next one you're looking for (or have you completed the collection like me?) (25/25 observatory chronometers achieved!)

HOpe you're staying healthy anon. Safe and sound here, so far anyway.

Is the "new" Cal. 321 Speedmaster the famous reengineered one that Omega has been talking about for a few months now? Kinda losing orientation with all the various special editions and models over the years.

Less ennui? What do you mean Anon?

You're luckier than me...I still can't stand the look of Zenith, and yet I really like their technological innovation direction.

For me it's always second best to Rolex, both in how I perceive it and how the general public does, so personally I'd never buy one. That being said, if they actually had a design that I liked, then I'd look into it.

Are you thinking of getting one Anon?

Pic unrelated...my own grail...one day.
