Value for money ...
By: AndrewD : May 11th, 2009-02:38
Hi All, I am interested to hear which watch in your collection you feel has provided the greatest value for money . I am not placing any restrictions on this. You can interpret ‘value for money’ in any way you wish and at any price point. While not cheap ...
I guess ALL our watches are value for money, Andrew
By: amanico : May 11th, 2009-03:34
Because, if they weren't, we wouldn't include them in our collection, don't you think? Well, here I will only focus on 3 watches which are, TO ME, real value for money: 1/ Without any surprise, the JLC MMR: Not only a great, original watch and a bargain, ...
Speedmaster?
By: vernon : May 11th, 2009-04:19
Andrew, Good post. I'd suggest the Omega Speedmaster as a good candidate and suspect that you may agree judging by your post elsewhere ;o) Whether modern (although the new price has gone up a bit I think) or vintage i think they offer great value. Regards...
Interesting question...
By: Tony C. : May 11th, 2009-06:48
given that I only collect vintage watches, I have found that there are two possible categories of "good value". The first would be that rare circumstance under which the seller of the watch simply does not recognize its true value. The second, and more in...
One standout in my collection
By: Ginger : May 11th, 2009-13:56
There are a lot of ways to view this from the point of view of a vintage collector Getting an absolutely NIB perfect vintage watch that you have been seeking is value for money, even if you have to pay a considerable price for it. And then there are some ...
In my case...
By: E.J. : May 11th, 2009-14:09
after some years buying watches that finally gone out home, I think that the members of my actually family are value for money... 1) A new watch, a rare watch if you can say it, but a great pleasure to wear... an actual and future rare bird... 2) A stunni...
True Nicolas
By: E.J. : May 12th, 2009-14:51
One of the biggest reason which explains why I keep a watch is the sentimental feeling that I have with it. There are another feelings too, but this one is important.... all of us have a sentimental feeling with one or more of our watches, and it doesn´t ...
Easy for me ...
By: bimbeano : May 11th, 2009-15:10
Since i have not a lot to choose from i can consider these four watches as good value for money ... The two old Alpina's on top i should say ... ridiculisly low in price but accurate to less than half a minute per week ... and some kind of history ... A S...
Yes, Filip
By: amanico : May 11th, 2009-20:56
Agree on your selection. I think that I shoudl have included the Longines in my selection, because this was the watch which the ùore amazed me by its ratio quality / price. Best, my other Hermano! Nicolas
Breguet for me
By: AT : May 11th, 2009-18:53
From the AD experience to the details of the watches, I feel that Breguet is the best value for the money. Not talking about resale value here but buying a piece of luxury and beautiful craft.
In some ways....
By: BDLJ : May 11th, 2009-22:54
Timex could be said to have more tradition than some of the re-invented brands. VFM, for sure. Now I need to post a photo of the the 6105-8110 Seiko I got for nothing....infinite value for money.
What about Rolex?
By: vernon : May 12th, 2009-02:02
hello again! I've noticed lately on my travels that some sports Rolex that not so long ago you either had a very long wait for or had to pay a premium if you wanted one quickly now seem to be openly available in dealers windows (Green sub, Deepsea, Explor...
Good to separate …
By: AndrewD : May 12th, 2009-21:34
Thanks Thomas and Art, y ou have helped focus my thinking on this. It is helpful to separate out the more objective aspects (materials used, fit and finish reflecting workmanship, resale value, etc.) from the subjective aspects (emotional reactions, beaut...
Don't agree
By: foversta : May 12th, 2009-15:33
For me Rolex has an excellent value for money. At least because when you need to sell a Rolex, you don't lose a lot of dollars. That's not the case of almost all the other brands. Fr.Xavier
Jack, my comment was just...
By: G99 : May 12th, 2009-11:16
Jack, my comment was just my own opinion and i thought it would get some backlash. what i would say is that to many people a $1000 divers watch with eta 2824 inside it and high quality german made case has to be better value for money than a $4000 watch. ...
Jack, i stick by my...
By: G99 : May 13th, 2009-02:35
Jack, i stick by my original opinion on the VFM(or not) of the Rolex brand, what i agree with Thomas on was that i was wrong to bring monetary figures into the post. he is quite correct that once you start on a figure its easy to slide all the way to noth...
Risky business ...
By: AndrewD : May 12th, 2009-21:24
Thanks Thomas and Graham and Jack for entering into this discussion in the spirit in which I meant the question. After wearing an Omega Speedmaster for the last 3 weeks (longer than I have ever done so in one stretch, but I know you would approve, Jack) I...
Two Chopards For Me
By: NJ_Mark : May 12th, 2009-11:27
I will interpret as value for the money as watches I can buy pre-owned at fantastic prices relative to what you are getting in return. The Chopard Pro One diver easily fits the bill here. Pre-owned pricing is absurdly low and compared to its competition i...
My beloved one
By: Ares501 - Mr Green : May 12th, 2009-14:13
for a) fun reasons - 55mm diameter and still wearable b) emotional reasons - gift of my brother for gaining my PhD degree while he was still student aka unemployed c) social reasons - "the conversation starter" piece about watches d) family reasons - look...
Hi Andrew,
By: J_Warden : May 13th, 2009-06:02
It's 39MM. The watch wears tallish due to it's vertical sides and wears large because of the thin bezel. It's my upper limit for size/height and I almost didn't keep it because of the size issue. Glad that I did though. Here's an ill-timed wrist shot just...
For me...
By: MiniCooper : May 12th, 2009-19:50
value for money is the watch that I wear and enjoy the most and the one that I will give my son when he gets his first job. I have not decided which one it will be- but the one that I will give him, it would be the best money that I have spent on a watch ...
