I was waiting for you to show up and rebut that comment.

I really want a PAM 164

The hog fan doesn't know his arse from a hole in the ground either. He slams someone for not knowing the dial of the Yachmaster while he doesn't know that Breitling dials and subdials actually are a flight computer.

Jimmies rustled when you slight Panerais.
Btw. Marathons are for bitches.
I love a Rolex. I do not love a Yachtmaster.
Submariner or SeaDweller (pre recent case change) are my favorites. I looked into a "birth year" Rolex. Which is unfortunate for me as only a brief search (1973) shows "Red" Subs.

What are the general differences between Omega, Tag and Rolex made watches? Omega Speedy Pro, Tag Carrera and a Rolex Explorer all look nice. Do any of the above have a better reputation for reliability?

Speedy Pro was chosen to go to the Moon due to its reliability.
The Rolex Explorer - or more accurately its predecessor - was on someone's wrist for Edmund Hillary's trek to the North Pole (accounts differ).
Both will outlive you or me.

And not a word spoken about Tag.
Posted on 10/5/15 at 4:58 pm to Broke
Im guessing Tag doesn't have the same reputation for craftsmanship and reliability?

I just don't have any experience with them, and those two are about the most famous "durable" watches ever made.
There's an old joke about real Rolex vs. fake ones: "If you want to see whether your Rolex is real, throw it against a brick wall. If it still works, it's real." I don't endorse that plan, but it would probably work.

Just new of red subs and SeaDweller. Didn't know of a "DSRD". Double Red Sea dweller. Which apparently has its own site/sites? I guess they must be more than the $10000-20000

That watch is awesome. You're crazy.
I love the simplicity of pam's. I don't need tachymeters or a stopwatch function. Most panerai's are a larger diameter, but they don't look nearly as gaudy as breitlings

Broke,
You need to read through the thread again. Pretty sure you're attributing 3-4 different posters' statements to one poster, even if the Hog fan was showing his arse.
I don't know where you got the idea that I don't/didn't understand how Breitling dials work. Hell, I'm probably one of the few posters on here that has actually had to use a E6B/slide rule so it goes without saying that I know one on a dial when I see one. I even had a Cosmonaut for a while as well, which is the basis for my recommendation against the newer Breitling's. Still trying to figure out where that statement from you originated.

I don't get why anyone cares if I know what the dials do or how the movement works. Some people just have an appreciation for well made stuff without having a clue how or why it actually is well made.

I don't think it matters for the most part and I agree with you on the general appreciation of things well made.
There are times when someone will buy a really nice watch simply because it's expensive and a status symbol and have neither a true appreciation for the work nor an understanding of the watch's features/use. That's typically the person who will post in a thread that no quality watch can be had under $5k. Hence, my response.
For the most part, a watch should be what YOU like and not what anybody else likes. It's why these threads are tough and tend to confuse opinions with facts. I have some nice watches but wear a 50 year old Seiko I got off eBay for $75 almost every day.

I never really understood why some watches are more expensive than others. I watched a how a watch works video one time (huge fan of those types of things, I can watch How It's Made for hours). After seeing the mechanics of a simple watch, then watching some of the more complex movements. I got really interested in automatic watches. I know they keep more accurate time, but I don't even want to wear a quartz watch knowing what's going on inside an automatic. I won't wear it if it doesn't look good, but once I know it looks good, I want to know what's going on inside.
Yeah, some stuff gets overpriced, but some of the design of what's going on inside these tiny things on someone's wrist is incredible.
