I have JLC, OP, IWC, Omega, Rolex...so not biased.

I love my 328, OP is just a unique piece period. However, are they as hot as 5 years ago? No, is that normal yes. I mean, neither is Hublot, nor IWC, nor most brands. Let's face it novelty faces off.

Also, they cannot be Rolex and probably don't want to. The amount of watches Rolex makes is just 10 times that of OP. I think you cannot compare the both of them. Some could argue that Rolex going with "huge" DJ or Hublot-looking YMII is also the way to sell more by selling your essence and OP Is not doing that.

Long story short, all but brands can be criticized or judged, but I would rather spend my time wearing them. Even though if I was OP, I would stop making some many damn models.
