I love both watches but just putting them side to side... is the OP36 really worth 64x the Seiko 5? Oh and the Seiko has a display back.

The Rolex is better. The question I’m thinking about on this lovely Saturday is whether it’s 64x better give the price differential.

ltmgeller · 23 February 2020, 04:31 AM

I'd say yes.

brandrea · 23 February 2020, 04:34 AM

I ask myself the same question Jonathan ... the fun factor with these Seikos is hard to ignore at the price.

It's all perceived value... Whether it is or not I like the
look of the OP more. Price differential ? probably not...

Blansky · 23 February 2020, 04:51 AM

Yes. 65 times.

If you go to 66 you may be getting into a debate................no, 66 too

But what you really need to do is define what "worth" means.

FTX I · 23 February 2020, 05:02 AM

When I bought this 6119 from the original owner two decades ago he told me had it for 40 years and never serviced it. I took care of that and no need to say it runs great. So I'd say no.

Mick006 · 23 February 2020, 05:12 AM

Yes, but prefer a bracelet.

037 · 23 February 2020, 05:29 AM

Only when it approaches 69 times. That's when you're really getting screwed.

I voted 'no' since I think that SNXS is a good watch for the price.

SNXS versus 67-02 might be a fun battle.

beshannon · 23 February 2020, 06:15 AM

Worth is a highly subjective term

Art 1 · 23 February 2020, 06:26 AM

After buying several Seikos in the $500 to $1000 range did I notice how high a Rolex must be marked up.

That’s amazing 40 years and still going strong

CashGap · 23 February 2020, 07:02 AM

Sixteen responses.

Guess what. Someone has already run the ultimate poll and given the entire world the opportunity to vote!

It's called the Free Market.

(Results are running "Yes" strongly last I checked).

Patton250 · 23 February 2020, 07:03 AM

Nope

Pw92676 · 23 February 2020, 09:30 AM

To me, yes. And I like seiko and rolex.

How many seikos are worth your 5711? Send me your address and I’ll send you that amount of seiko 5s and a paid return label for the nautilus lol.

But honestly, I get your rhetorical question. The non-mathematic theory of relatively at play here.

ap1 · 23 February 2020, 10:49 AM

Easily

Lol. I’m not picky. Anything that says Patek, regular or crooked stamped lines to follow, will do just fine in my books

Locust · 23 February 2020, 12:06 PM

12x. Yes the Rolex is worth it. 24x. Probably. 64x. Nope

Doc Savage · 23 February 2020, 01:06 PM

I own 2 Seikos (Cocktail Time green and a SARW041 Baby Snowflake) and they are amazing watches for the money. They are so much fun. Plus, I don't worry EVER about wearing them anywhere.

Andad · 23 February 2020, 01:18 PM

When new, no not a chance.

But 30 years down the track??

icnbne · 23 February 2020, 01:41 PM

Yes, because quality vs price graph is never linear

toxicavenger · 23 February 2020, 01:43 PM

It is all according to who you ask. There are some people who believe both of them are not worth the cost.

Soarer · 23 February 2020, 02:18 PM

Is yours sunburst blue dial? I have the sunburst grey and I love it. Very comfortable and sleek on the wrist.

I voted no...but there’s a huge caveat.

If you have a mobile phone, then neither are worth the price.

We buy watches not because of their financial value proposition — but for their emotional value proposition.

ap1 · 23 February 2020, 02:31 PM

Is the RM worth 25 OP 36s

junamuan · 23 February 2020, 02:36 PM

That means 65x probability you'll see Seiko 5 in a hundred watch wearing individuals you meet.

Cru Jones · 23 February 2020, 04:44 PM

The word “worth” when talking watches is a tricky one. Since you are asking this question, I’d say the answer for you is “no”.

View Poll Results: Is the Rolex 64x better than this Seiko
Yes it is	45	35.16%
No it is not	73	57.03%
Doesn’t matter Rolex is always better than a Seiko	10	7.81%
