Difference between a Rolex and seiko?

[NeilCartwright]

I'm 22 and rocked a silver Casio since I was 16. Bought a silver Nixon just for something a lil nicer but I'm not really a watch person tbh, and I don't really know the difference other than the brand name can someone tell me?

I have this breitling watch, a friend gave it to me years ago. Probably gonna give it to my dad for his bday or some shii

Look at this stupid ass humble brag thread. Stop lying, the motive behind making this thread was to show off your Breitling. Quit being a fakkit about it.

 

[BaldingSoHard]

I don't know much about watches but I do know that I've never met someone with a Rolex who didn't try to work it into the conversation somehow. Sorta like vegans. If you wanna be that dude, have at it.

Nah man im trying to learn, im 22 and rock walmart watches
I had a friend who's aunt got deployed to the middle east back in 2010 and got it for him (for cheap) and it was too big for his wrist so he let me have it. He's like 6'8 190 or sumn. Might just give it to my dad for his bday or something. I guess he didnt know how much it costs.

So there's tiers to the "big" brands ie Breitling and Rolex? Sort of like a 3 series BMW vs a 5 series?

Everything.

Explain it to me bc im trying to learn.

Couple things.

That watch u posted looks like a bootleg. I hope it's nor for ur monetary sake but it does look bootleg.

Second. A Rolex has amazing appreciation value and quality value. I can't really break down the difference from ur watches vs a Rolex outside of saying a Rolex is much nicer than what you got.

The watch you posted is a fake and their is no difference between a Rolex and a Seiko time keeping and quality wise.

difference between rolex and seiko is simple... the history

rolex has such a rich history of innovation and quality it's almost unparalleled in the industry. did you know rolex created the 1st ever water resistant watch? every watch rolex makes came with a purpose, from the Submariner (diving) to the Daytona (timing/racing) to the Explorer (cave diving). rolexes are rugged watches that can be beat on pretty hard... no need to baby them.

nothing sexy about the movement, but it is a work horse

they are also one of the only watch brands (honestly brands in general) to maintain their value. you can buy a used sub for 3-4k, wear it for 5 years and still get your 3-4k out of it if you decide to sell it. can you say that about another brand? a car? tv?

you really want to get into watches as an investment purpose though i highly recomend getting into vintage rolexes... they are the only ones that will continue to skyrocket in value... i own a couple of vintage daytonas a model 6263 and a 6239, when they came out in the 60's they cost about 8-9 hundo. today both watches are 30k+

lastly they are definite tiers to watches... the top being patek phillipe, richard mille etc

i am a huge vintage rolex collector feel free to ask me any questions you might have

One of the few extremely smart purchases. Not to mention you can pass them down through the family too. How did you get into your first rolex?

This is the bad news. As soon as I read that it was purchased on a deployment, I figured it was a knockoff.

The Breitling is a fake.

I've heard in some watch snob circles that the Grand Seiko actually rivals most Rolex models. Personally I cannot attest to that seeing I don't own either watch on that tier.

I do know that Seiko makes a wide array of models at different price points and are good, serviceable timepieces. I own a Seiko diver that's pretty much my beater and being a quartz, it's accurate as hell. I love it. Otherwise I rock my Omegas, Longines or Hamilton watches.
Rolex is Rolex. It represents status, it doesn't depreciate in value as fast as other brands do but I could say the same for Patek Phillippe.
Like an earlier poster said, I haven't met one guy who didn't try and insinuate his Rolex into the conversation if you talked to him long enough. But hey, if you have it, flaunt it
