Black Bay noir eta

And to say it can't beat a 14060 - how so? What makes the 14060 better? Even IF you could prove the 14060 beats the Black Bay in some way, the common person should expect that as the two aren't even competitors due to the vastly differing price points.

I understand the reasoning. A short/limited production and it will be difficult to find and the prices rise.

But why weren't people jumping on this when they announced the in-house movement? This happens EVERY time. And topics like this fuel the need/craving for this, people don't want to miss out. Same happened to the Hulk.

And I simply don't see the value in this watch when it goes to +5.000 USD. Especially an ETA Tudor vs a Rolex 14060. The bracelet and overall feel is better on the Rolex.

It's not about the movement. For example a vintage daytona with valjoux movement is more desirable than a modern daytona with inhouse movement. It's more on the look of the watch and the production numbers.

Where did I even discuss the movement?

People go crazy for anything limited nowadays, just hoping to have something special or make a quick buck flipping it.

I didn't discuss it in terms of better or worse.

There is an ETA and an in-house movement, so it was a bit easier to recognize both.

I have both and the bracelet is definitely better on the Tudor.
