I understand that we have a passion for watches and are frustrated by the high prices of certain luxury watch brands. However, it's important to remember that the value of a watch is subjective and can vary based on factors such as brand reputation, rarity, craftsmanship, and design. While some people may be willing to pay a premium for a watch from a particular brand, others may prefer a more affordable option that still meets their needs and preferences. It's important to make purchasing decisions based on your own values and priorities, rather than solely on the perceived prestige of a particular brand. That being said, it's worth noting that many popular luxury watch brands such as Omega and Grand Seiko are highly respected for their quality and craftsmanship. These brands have a loyal following and are considered to be among the best in the industry. Ultimately, the decision of which watch to purchase comes down to personal preference and budget. It's important to do your research, consider your options, and make a decision that aligns with your values and priorities.

I love AP, I get the high horology point, however looks wise, the FP Journe and the Patek watches that I liked. I prefer a SS Royal Oak, blue or grey face, or the chrono.

The Patek Philippe procedure for " being allowed to buy a certain model".... makes me feel the opposite "WhoTF do you think you are talking to me like that after I spent over $1M dollars on your watches". That's my reaction if a PP approached me like that. I guess we are all different:)

I'm looking at buying a Tissot Gentleman. Any more than that and I would be too concerned about losing it, damaging it, or being robbed. Suppose if I had a lot more disposable income, I wouldn't care, but I would also think I could feed a lot of people with my watch.

[@vir042]

Yeah that 700-1k usd is top of the line for me as well.. It's a beautiful watch! Maybe before I die I will buy a used speedmaster, but a lot of things to spend money on before wasting 3k usd on a used watch.. :P

A view from the UK. One question; Who in their right mind would wear ANY of these watches for everyday use? I would be frightened i could damage it or have it robbed off my wrist, never mind the insurance premium If they don't why buy them to be locked away. Are they all bought as investments? Do collectors just sit down one evening, get them out and gaze lovingly at them then, once spent, put them back? If that's the case why not do what you do in your office and hang photos of them on the wall. As lovely as they are but.... $200,000 just to tell the time? C'mon, you can't live in it, drive it, or even sail on it As for Richard Mille customers, the best i can say is that, like middle aged men in Ferrari's, they are making up for a certain lacking in the trouser department.
