Rolex? Really guys? Maybe I should read more about this unknown brand...

Is it new?

P.S.: To be a bit more serious I'd like to say that I really agree with what Peter said. High end watches are much more expensive and they have features you don't see on all timepieces but in the end I think there are much more good watches than the ones we can name in this thread.

It's easier to choose the bad ones these days. It's all really a matter of the buyers expectations.

You can go to Walmart and buy a $15-20 watch that is good enough to navigate at sea.

It is my humble opinion that Rolex builds the best all around watches on planet Earth.

Most of the rest are good.

as a few have said ,,, hard to buy a poor watch these days , but good and bad are very subjective terms.
a sub will pretty much do the same job as a thirty pounds casio... no better or worse ,,, just a bit more style and a lot more money.
just look lots and read lots , and buy what pleases you.

I agree. But what does the OP mean by good? Best timing, craftsmanship, most complications? IMO Rolex is the best affordable luxury watch with Omega s very close second. The ones you mentioned are in another class.

SHOCKED, I'm Shocked! not a surprise that he is a troll but I am surprised so many here don't figure that out with a new member/low post count and a absurd broad/general question designed to not answer a specific question but get members posting...
