All the answers on this post is a great example of exactly why watch nerds are a problematic bunch of people.
All the mentioned brands are no way exclusive or indication of anything, they are just marketed differently but all operate in the same industry. Someone buying a GS is just as much of a consumer as someone who buys a Rolex or Omega. Y’all spending similar money for the same shit. C’mon people.
I think you missed the point of the question. It’s not about better or not, there are certain watches that fly under the radar unless you’re an enthusiast. There’s no judgement in what you’re wearing. If I saw someone wearing a rolex black sub, very strong chance they aren’t an enthusiast (they could be but just odds wise they aren’t !), If I saw someone wearing a rolex comex sub, I’d have a really strong indication they were really into collecting

Funny you mentioned comex, that’s what came to mind almost immediately for me. Probably because of talking watches!
Yeah, you’d either have to be a hard core watch person to know why you’re spending that much on a sub, or that watch is a special family piece.
