Thanks for sharing, scary and interesting story. If I was a counterfiter I would spend all my efforts in creating old trashy Rolexes in "untouched" condition to sell for really good money.
Yupp - Tks to @Yago for sharing!

Then again - let’s not fool ourselves: Things like that were bound and are going to happen, again and again, the more money can be made.

I'm all in for the Seamaster Bond 60.
I also think that's Omega's release of the year. That watch has really grown on me. Best 3000 so far? Tie with NTTD? 10k though, 10k!
Correction, 9k...

Hmmm, the Bond 60 years is $7900 USD, although I see it's 8900 euros on the Omega's European website. Gives me some hope that the Carrera 60 years might be a little cheaper in USD than I'm expecting it to be.

I still give the edge to the NTTD, as it's titanium and has a thinner case.

7900 usd should be 7500 euro. At launch Omega claimed it would be 7000 chf, which would be 8000 euro. On Omega’s site it’s now 9000 euro. Dunno who’s doing the exchange rated over there but this is absurd

Watch companies charge different amounts based on what they think they can get away with, not straight conversion. Sounds like they think they can sell it for a lot more in the EU than in the US (assuming of course that the prices quoted don't include VAT; in the US they do not)

Yeah, probably a tie with the NTTD. Although I think this one is a bit easier to love.

The Bulova moonwatch is now also available in a a smaller (a.k.a. more reasonable) size...
I am looking forward to this one. I had the original and it was just a bit too big. I loved all the details and the watch was very accurate, lost 5 seconds in the year I owned it. I hope they also release it in the matte finish case. So far it’s just been shown in high polish.

It’s fun! Different vibe than the Jupiter, a lot more flashy. Will look good in Summer. On the Tintin rocket for now. Tintin cars and figurines are very collectable and I think these Moonswatches are a great extension to that. Similar to Funko Pops. Expensive toys you don’t play with.

That’s well nice. I’m a little bit jealous at how easy you seem to be able to get them ‍♂️

Over 20 YouTube content creators share their most worn watch of 2022. Sadly, not a TAG in the group. But another forum favorite was mentioned twice.

What was your most worn watch of 2022?
Mine was the Omega NTTD Seamaster. Out of my TAG Heuer's, my Carrera Dato and Heuer 1000 Night Diver spent the most time on my wrist last year.

For me, probably the Aquaracer 844 Tribute or orange Aquaracer.

Lots to love with those two. 👍
You've got quite the collection of recent TAGs, must be fun rotating them all.

My most worn watch was the 160th Carrera followed closely by my 85th Autavia. It’s funny where this hobby takes you. When starting out I had no interest in a chronograph whatsoever.
