Would love one of those oil filled watches. However the unique design makes it like spot 4 or 5 in my collection and at $40k I’ll probably never get to buying one

Same as the first two commenters, my reactions were (in order): wow, those are really neat...holy crap thats a lot of money.

I think I read somewhere that the servicing costs are surprisingly reasonable (read: comparable to Rolex/Omega/etc) given the oil filled case, bellow system, etc.

They added the Type 8 this year lowering their entry price point to about $15k, still a lot but not much more than a Rolex gmt for example. They’re incredibly cool watches, but for me too the previous entry price of over $20k was a hard pass, especially if I could get into Patek or FPJ for that (at msrp and availability).

Looks really interesting, would love to see it in person

Want one but bought an A7 for my wife instead. Crazy expensive.

And what are you driving?

If I was Meta or Google or Amazon, why wouldn’t I just pull out of the EU/UK altogether and avoid all the GDPR and Digital Markets Act / Digital Services Act issues? I get that fundamentally it’s as simple is revenue from those areas, but has anyone thought critically about whether direct + indirect compliance costs + risk-adjusted penalties for violations are greater than that revenue?

Is it realistic to want to do forensic accounting only to support criminal investigations?

I hate that I’m saying this but I really just want a beautiful watch that is horologically great but just has one pusher that sends a signal to your phone to do one specific task. I can’t tell you how often I’m out and about and I would love to just press a pusher on the side of a Tudor or something and it can’t just tell my phone to Shazam a song or something. I don’t want a screen, I don’t want it to be complicated, I don’t want it to be noticeable. I don’t have the answer, just the desire
