Sinn are nice, they make one or two I considered but in the end realized i’d never wear. Bremont designs are uninspiring IMO. I was going to get a Ming GMT but again decided it’d never end up being worn.

I was considering 37.11 on polymesh

Bremont as a brand seems terrible but what about Altitude MB Meteor orange barrel (or stealth)? It seems crazy over-engineered for the price, like a Mil gauss on steroids. And has a modicum of heritage and the cockpit ejection certification.

i like sinn and have owned 4 of them over the years, but i always sell them because long term they're a service nightmare if you live in the us, and some models have to be sent back to germany.

if you're looking at german watches that aren't crazy expensive, nomos, junghans and for 1-handers meistersinger.

I was looking for a reason to not order a u50 sight unseen

I guess I'm surprised that a German brand has shitty qc or is it just a logistic issue? Can't any decent jeweler service a sw300

that model doesn't have any of their 'tech' like the argon gas (germany service required), copper capsule (can be serviced in the us), etc. so you're safe with that one. not so much a fan of the bezel action or lume.

side note, there is an aliexpress knock off of that watch with better lume and clasp (but ttt movement) for like $250

Louis Vuitton makes watches

But if you meant besides LVMH, then Cartier or Chopard

All of those brands make actual high end nice pieces though. Also Cartier has great history.

Some of the new Tambours look incredible imo. They don't have Cartier heritage or prestige but they seem to have surpassed Cartier at the ultra high end of horology
