I bought an Omega NATO. It’s well made with quality materials. But still very overpriced for what it is. They are popular. Often out of stock.
I think Rolex could still make a tidy profit on that watch if they sold it for what a SS Sky Dweller retails. There isn’t enough gold in it to justify the PM price, and wholesale diamonds aren’t much either. The movement costs the same as a SS movement (I guess a SkyD mov’t is the same or more effort than a DD). The only extra cost is setting the stones. The PM price relies on people to assume the metal is worth that much more. It really isn’t.
