Hi folks,

Anyone on the forum clued up on wrist watches. Looking at buying another Breitling and looking for some advice.


Cheers

Hi what would sir be looking for today?

watches.

Hi.
i've been offered a brand new Breitling Emergenc for under half price but i've heard that the emergency is no longer made. I'm trying to find out if prices are likely to appreciate or depreciate in the future. I don't want to fork out money on a watch that will be worthless in a year or so. Many dealers thoughout the country now have these watches at 1/2 price, £5000 down to £2500.
Is it a bargain or a nightmare of a deal.

hi, i'm not sure of that but thats why i'd rather check 1st to see if they are worth buying or if i should buy another mechanical watch instead.

Mmm just had a quick look and it seems there `are` issues with it. Good watch forum on here http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/f...=187&mid=75834 hth

Hi,
I will have a look and see what they are saying. I might be better off buying something else although at £2500 i fancied a bargain...

I also love watches.... but they are like cars you have to buy them cuz you like them very few become rock solid investments..

Just my 2p.... but the wife would confirm it....

Get a Tag Heuer... at least the limited edition ones for example Heuer Silverstone.... or Monaco Heuer....
Changi Airport gives the best prices.. Tax free.

My old man has two Omega watches and have both gone up in price in the last few years one has gone up almost £800. I think you'll be fine with it as an investment.

Omega Planet Ocean, beautiful time piece

Agreed Omega's are lovely timepeices. My personal preference is Chopard at the moment, and obviously with their heritage to do with motor racing. I have a Mille Miglia and have had for around a year. I personally am not a fan of the Breitlings, i find their faces overcomplicated, and their too associated with Bentley, and those who know me also know who i work for, so i wouldn't buy one of those.

I have one of those tag silverstone edition watches. Paid half price for it when I was in Malaysia. Bargain!
