Omega for sure.

I did not mention them as I was referring more to the brands present at W&W.
But then Omega also raised their prices by 30% in the last 3 years and they are no longer the great value that they used to be.

Today's choice to fight the price madness from W&W.

Have you seen anything relevant and interesting below the 10 k mark (maybe Frederique Constant) ??? Are the "luxury watch" brands no longer targeting the first 10% of the income scale but rather the first 2% ? Anyhow,I still feel that this Tissot is a coo...
I have not.

But I don’t believe I’ve seen everything yet. The one exception perhaps could again be Tudor and the GMT BB58 specifically. However the vintage aesthetic will not appeal to everyone, and I understand that a Rolex derivative also loses appeal for some. I’m...
Interesting point

It almost seems to be an industry strategy, which I can understand. Need to be thinking ahead.
I guess inflation is real, despite what some politicians may tell you.

I think a lot of brands have raised prices because some brands are still not available and cannot meet demand. Rolex, of course, can double its production and still not meet the demand, especially for stainless steel, sports watches. But if you look at so...

Yes,this is also my strategy.

I am definitely out of the game for any of these new watches and enjoy what I have!
Yep!

Great choice - like the strap and the blue flecks in case

I always think W&W is fun, but a bit of a distraction. There will always be something new, while others will be no longer made. Go with what you enjoy - I'm hankering after what are neo vintage pieces at the moment. I suspect that won't change in the shor...
They are nice for sure.

I was probably more referring to watches with more elaborate movements and refined case/dial work.
I would add some of the 31 Nomos, the Tag Heuet

Carrera glassbox and the Zenith defy extreme diver (though a bit above 10k). Yes, my income grows slower than the prices… Of course, I like that Tissot. Best. ...
I'm 100% with you,
By: clemens m : April 12th, 2024-18:13
both in my disappointment with W&W 2024 releases and generally the price bracket where most interesting brands position themselves today. My solution is going vintage, I am still having a hard time to comprehend how many amazing vintage watches from brand...
Many mistakes to be made
By: clemens m : April 13th, 2024-14:35
considering vintage, but dip your toes in and gather as much knowledge as possible and you will see how rewarding buying vintage watches can be as long as you do your homework.
I agree
By: andrea~ : April 12th, 2024-21:50
That's why I love brands like Rolex and Cartier, which offer both mid level and high level watches
+1 !!

Omega
By: SayNo2Babies : April 13th, 2024-16:48
Maybe it's gotten boring, but they do put a lot of value under 10k. The coaxial escapement is a marvel of industrialized engineering. And yes, before anyone says it, I do wish they could solve the thickness problem.
Omega for sure.
