Nice Watches

[Go4Long]

I'm no expert, but I don't think it's just that store, I think it's the jewellery industry as a whole. I stopped by some other stores looking at watches and they all did the same thing. The markup is high, so if you waffle, they've got some wiggle room to entice you with.

Nah. The markup on Ben Moss, Peoples, Paris, Maggies, Mappins, is through the rough. 200% or more.

The markup on high end brands, Rolex, Breitling, Hamilton, Oris, Montblanc, etc is really low - which is great for the consumer.

it is 40%-45% markup. You discount 20% and you make 20%. Such low margins.

Out of that 20% comes your employee's commision. 1-5% depending on the store.

You're now down to 15% at worst. Building cost, staff hourly rate, shipping to and from, insurance, customs. 0 Dollars is what you just made.

Try and buy a watch from breitling directly. A BSA was 8K in store and was around 3.8k with a regular employee discount. The stores get a better rate than that by buying multiple and in bulk.

I was going to call BS, but didn't actually know the numbers involved, lol.

Either way, 27% off, even if it is the standard 100% retail markup still leaves with a pretty sizeable profit margin on a $1500 watch, nevermind the $6'000+ watches that some of the people on here are sporting, or the $20k+ Hublots ;)

Found one in the wild, but the 18% tax hit or single digit discount off MSRP just isn't worth it. The hunt continues...

Such a light watch. Feels like 1/3 the weight of my King Power F1.

As for the BSA which I was looking at I remember them being sold for either $5800 or $6800 and then one day they just jumped to $8000. Same watches but Breitling had changed the price. Now they have to change the price but as I said before the watch was maybe $3500 - $4500 (unloaded cost of course). Loaded (meaning store cost, staff cost, profit, etc.) cost could be in the $4500 - $6000 range. That is still $1000 to $2000 profit overtop of the overheads and minimum profit margin.

Cos - you're a nice guy. we've met in person a few times. Had a beer. Trust me when I say this - all the high end brands are only "keystone", or just under. 40-50%. No more.

Shitty brands are the 100% or more marked up.

My numbers are accurate in the above post regarding the watches.

Anyways, I'm just bitching over here and just looking at the watch market differently than most.

Go4 - nice watch, great deal, hope you're loving it!

I'm guessing your "BSA" is the Breitling Super Avenger. I can tell you that the MSRP when you sold them was 4490, now they jumped a grand to 5490 due to a breitling price increase last july/october (2011).

They are not 8 grand.

It may be 50% markup on the BSA but that is still tons.



No need to get angry and defensive. Not sure why it matters so much to you. Haha

Not getting angry and defensive :rofl:

Btw, the Diamond super avenger is 13k :P

Hublot Cathedral Minute Repeater

http://images.freshnessmag.com/wp-content/uploads//2011/03/hublot-cathedral-king-power-01.jpg

[rage2]

If you have to ask... :rofl:

It's got the most expensive complications, minute repeater, tourbillon, All CF... If I had to guess, somewhere in the 350-500k range? I haven't seen it for sale. Then again, never looked.

[rage2]

Yup. It's much louder than your typical minute repeater due to the CF case. Isn't muffled.

Paid off the mortgage this week and went looking for something I normally wouldn't buy to celebrate. After going through this whole thread I really liked the Tissot PRC 200 and it was properly sized for my wrist. The cheap bastard in me ended up in this price bracket, and preferred this over the Seiko's.

tissot is one of best quality watch in swiss, 500 is not cheap man..

[statick]

Nice photograph, Blitz!

[bigbadboss101]

Where would you recommend to pick up this Tissot PRC 200?

[v8killa]

do you guys think this watch is worth $200?


http://i1022.photobucket.com/albums/af348/sminhas23/51T75NGeQML_SS424_.jpg

[CHICHARITZHI]

It's worth 200 if it is automatic.

[v8killa]

the first one i posted states its mechanical: Movement: Professional Precise Hand-Wind Mechanical

this silver one is going to cost me 100$ and I'm in the middle, what do you guys think?
Movement: Swiss parts quartz for this one

[Weapon_R]

Invicta watches are barely worth $50

Really? I just wanted to find an inexpensive watch that had a "skeleton" look like the first one, don't care what brand but I guess I will keep looking. Thanks!

I'm quite confident this watch is a replica. That generation of Constellation did not have a star on the dial, the indices don't seem to be the right shade, those aren't the proper pictogram/warranty cards that come with this generation of Constellation and a Chronometre grade Constellation won't have a sticker price of $2,250 as the hang-tag suggests.

And, as rage2 has mentioned, Omega has increased their prices recently and, apparently, will do so again in the near future.

[benyl]

haha, stop feeding the troll.

[msommers]

Can someone help me with this watch. Listing is as follows:

http://www.gcsurplus.ca/lotImages/FS396423.JPEG

Men's Omega Speedmaster Chronograph Stainless Steel

- Round shaped stainless steel case with a diameter of 36 mm.
- Serial no. 175.0042
- Model 1471
- Hesalite crystal top
- Black dial with black (tachometer) bezel
- Movement Omega automatic chronograph caliber 3220 with 47 jewels
- Stainless steel band with Omega push button clasp no. 1471/815

I've tried searching the reference number on Omega's site and it turns up nothing. I've searched the movement and it seems to be on the Reduced however the casing is 39mm not 36mm. Something doesn't feel right but maybe I'm unaware or skeptical.

You're right to be skeptical. The Speedmaster reduced has never been 36mm, as you mention. Almost all Reduced models typically have Arabic minute marking at each index. Also, given Omega's model numbering system, a Speedmaster shouldn't be 1471.

Do you have any information or pictures of the caseback? How about any information or pictures of the paperwork?

[msommers]

None of that was provided. The watch is actually from the government auction.

It seems like it SHOULD be legit given the people selling it but I think I'm going to opt out regardless.

[flipstah]

There are more pictures in that link:

I'd take it with a grain of salt, especially with all of the disclaimers. Lots of 'may' and 'approximate' sprinkled everywhere.

Damn, I'm leaning towards between the Glycine and the Fortis. Breitling is way out of my price-range (as of right now) and I find it too 'busy' with all of the measurements that I will not use lol.

Glycine Airman's could be sniped at ~$1k, which is a tad more than the Fortis ($7-850).

Which of the two would the Beyonders pick?

[bmeier]

i personally like the fortis plus its relatively inexpensive.

[Pacman]

I've owned the Glycine Airman SST purist in the past and it's a lot of watch for the money. You can snag them for $700 in lightly used shape and usually brand new for around $950 or so.

Never owned the Fortis, so I can't compare.

[Weapon_R]

Sinn 903 is another nice 24-hr watch.

[statick]

Glycine & Fortis both offer much substance for what is paid. Get whichever speaks to you most.

RM 056 Felipe Massa – Limited Edition of 5 Pieces

The highly skeletonized RM 056 movement reproduces all the characteristics of the RMCC1 caliber, a manual winding tourbillon movement with hours, minutes, chronograph split seconds, power reserve, torque and function indicators.

http://people.timezone.com/jmerino/rmskele1.jpg
http://people.timezone.com/jmerino/rmskele2.jpg

This new caliber is not a simple exercise of merely reviewing the existing RM008 movement; it utilizes the best design characteristics combined with further advances, bringing it to an unequaled level of performance for long-term timekeeping precision and durability.

The movement weight has been reduced by 20%, requiring the creation of more than 400 new parts. The skeletonized grade 5 titanium baseplate with its light weight/high strength ratio makes it an ideal choice as the foundation for perfect functionality of the going train as well as offering a great resistance to corrosion. A fast rotating winding barrel, balance with variable inertia, function indicator, torque indicator and split seconds mechanism with improved performance are only a small selection of what the Richard Mille engineers did to create this extraordinary watch, a cutting edge timepiece.

A unique evolution of this tourbillon split seconds Chrono Competition RM 056 Felipe Massa is that its entire case -front bezel, caseband and back bezel- is cut and milled from solid blocks of sapphire, a feat of engineering and a strong visual statement. The production of this sapphire structure took years of research and testing in order to ensure an adequate response to the demands of strength and comfort. This is the first time that such a complex case design has been realized in this material.

Sapphire is known as a particularly scratch-resistant material and one of the hardest materials on Earth, with a Mohs rating of 9.0. Made of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) crystals, it is transparent thanks to its molecular composition. The machining of such components was the biggest challenge faced by Richard Mille, a challenge made all the more difficult as the sapphire machining process is exceptionally delicate. Although extremely tough, sapphire does not allow for even the slightest error during milling and cutting. Creating a case of this quality took over 1000 hours of machining, of which 430 hours were spent on pre-forming the case components and 350 hours on polishing the whole watch case. The cutting tools must be specially designed and tipped with diamond.

For excellent optical properties, bezel case parts have been treated with an anti-glare coating. The tripartite case is water resistant to 50 meters, ensured by two Nitril O-ring seals. The case is assembled with 20 Spline screws in grade 5 titanium and abrasion resistant washers in 316L stainless steel.

The RM 056 is a limited edition of just 5 pieces due to the extreme nature of their creation and development, a new frontier in the history of the watchmaking industry.

[BlackRadon]

Those Glycine watches are classy! I really like them. The airman and the F104:bigpimp:

[rage2]

The RM's are cool, but Massa? Couldn't they get a better F1 driver as an ambassador?

Not really the Glycine or the Fortis I was looking for but I just recently sniped this puppy:

Haha muh bad! This was a fluke find and an impulse buy; was looking for Omega or Rado vintage watches.

I'll definitely change the band when it comes, either another gold bracelet or a brown leather strap.

The inside looks good (about a 7/10) and the only thing that looks rough is the glass. I love the patina and I want to keep it like that.

My mom told me my dad has had it for quite some time, since before i was born...so i'm wondering if anyone knows if these are quality watches or not?


For them to have this watch that long, i guess it must've been expensive back then to buy. Kind of would like to get it restored and have it working again as a potential bday present for him. Also, what do you think a watch like this would go for?

[Weapon_R]

^ not worth the cost to restore. Those watches aren't worth much anymore ($0-200)

Rado is more fashion. If it's sentimental, def fix it.

If not, don't bother.

It may be worth something. I don't know much about watches, but those might be diamonds?? phsssh

Those are diamonds, but not heavy enough to be worth anything. Here's a link with tons of details on the watch.

[flipstah]

Neat tidbit about the Rado: if it's genuine, the anchor should move freely, following gravity. If it doesn't, its either a fake or it needs servicing.

I was in the hunt for one of those and I learntt that most of the vintage ones in eBay are "frankenrados", a watch put together from other watches.

[urbannomad]

Thanks guys!

Really good to know.

Yeah it has sentimental value i guess, so i'll definitely try and have it polished and restored.

Flipstah, yeah the anchor moves :) Never really noticed that until now.

Good to hear! Fix it up for sentimental reasons! I had to ask because there's little resale value for these babies.

Dang, you're good. I saw some killer ones a while ago and was about to snipe but the price got too high for my blood.

Now I know.

Wristweapon did a photoshoot of my new watch before they sent it to me. My first automatic watch and I love it. Makes my quartz watches seem like crap.

Whoah, you're the whitest "flip" I've seen.

One of my best friends is half flip, half scottish, and even he's less white then you.
:rofl:
Maybe its just the hands....but :dunno:

Cool watch though, very unique.

Weirdly enough, I may know the guy you're talking about through some degree of separation. I've heard that combo before haha.

BACK ON TOPIC!

That Lum-Tec is mighty fine, blitz. :thumbsup:

What do you guys think about the Cartier watches? I am in the market for one, I kind of like the original tank ones but I'm still in the process of searching. They are mainly known for watches yes/no?
