Not necessarily, I have seen expensive swiss pieces with poorer finish than a mid tier Japanese.ronnielarmond wrote: ↑Jan 3rd, 2018 11:24 amI thought the higher the price means higher quality (with the exception of the use of diamonds and gold). What I mean by quality is how durable and reliable the timepiece is.

Rolex is the worst on the list. Best would be tag heuer especially the formula 1, calibre 7 'batman' it's OG AFronnielarmond wrote: ↑Jan 3rd, 2018 10:50 amHow would you rank these brands in order of quality?

DW rocks.
Rolex hasn't used an ETA movement in half a century or more.
Tudor used ETA movements until recently. As of late they are starting to use in house movements (MT56xx) as well as Breitling chronograph movements in a joint partnership. Some Tudors still use ETA movements.
Disclaimer: I own a black bay with the tudor movement.

Does brand history have an effect on price of the watch? I hear alot of ppl talk about the history of the watches (atleast the hardcore enthusiast). But does this affect pricing??

Everything could matter in how a brand figure they could price their watch, and how much a buyer would be willing to spend, etc. Anyway, I feel you really want to educate yourself on watches but honestly this may not be the best site to do so. I suggest heading to a watch enthusiast forum like watchuseek and you will find a lot more resources there to help you understand.

Invicta is da best! Just look how much you're saving with sales on Amazon, amazing!
Hublot Big Bang is also a star. I know my friend's cousin's boyfriend who was aspiring to be a hip hop artist, he was struggling until he got a Hublot Ice Bang, then he became huge in the hip hop scene, I heard.

This would be my first choice it I am in the market for one, fits your criteria. Daily wear would be no problem.mathiewannabe wrote: ↑Jan 4th, 2018 7:04 amI dont see many annual/perpetual calendars in this thread. What do u guys think of using it as daily driver? Leather strap.

There is also the SS version with the light grey meteorite dial, also regular and enamel dial I think, but the darker meteorite dial and the contrast with the RG is why sells me on the RG version. You can get these preowned usually in mint condition for around $10k USD if I recall correctly, which is really not that bad considering what you're getting.
The Skydweller in SS would also be a great choice, although no day display, the 2nd timezone more than makes up for it. Blue dial on brown leather is the combo I'd go with. I initially hated the design but it's growing on me, but I don't think I could choose it over that beautiful JLC or a simple DJ.

The SD4K went out today, passing it onto a friend. This arrived only moments ago... I love it.
