As a Rolex owner I'm sure you can see the immense quality of a Rolex. Just look at the bracelets, they are extremely well made in 904L steel with am amazing fit and an incredibly solid and functional clasp. Another brand I find has Amazing bracelets is iwc. When you compare the bracelet of an iwc or Rolex to something like an omega SMPO or SMPC, you'll get what I mean.

Then you should see patek and ap bracelet.
And rolex was using stamp clasp till late 2000s. Omega bracelet was king till rolex decided it was threatened and decide to redesign the clasp.

See. Rolex doesn't react to change fast and is slow in innovation. They focus alot on markering and maybe refining their watch.

1. i'm not a rolex owner.
2. only a watch noob is unaware of how cheap the stamped metal rolex clasps were in relation to its inflated price, and for the longest time, the rolex rattle came courtesy of non-SEL and folded metal bracelets.
3. for many years, omega milled clasps were among the best watch clasps there is out there, and it's only quite recently that rolex recently and finally upped its game and equipped its watches with quality milled clasps befitting of its status.

Guys sorry noob qn here but may I know what your opinion is on "shitters" (according to Archieluxury)? Brands like steinhart, squale and Christopher ward? Do you think they create a false sense of luxury by providing the look of an expensive watch at 10% or less of the price? I've had a few steinhart pilots, ocean ones, squale 20 atoms, glycine combat sub etc. I felt that the glycine combat sub is actually very well made and comfortable watch to wear. And I'm thinking of repurchasing it...
