imajedi Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Is it just any watch or a "good watch". If it's the latter, you're gonna need to edit your list. I'll add Hamilton. Can be had for around $1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiesn089 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) +1 on Hamilton and Seiko. You can also get some nice Longines for $1000 with discounts. Edited February 13, 2013 by wiesn089 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indywatchguy Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hey what about Invicta!!??? They have some really nice Swiss Valjoux movements for around $1200. That new SubAqua Noma V is the truth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That new SubAqua Noma V is the truth! some higher end invicta do go for that price point, but the average price is $300 for them Ok time to come clean. I'm a PPC freelancer. I help businesses advertise on bing and yahoo and google. I'm doing work for a swiss watch company, which was pretty interesting being a watch fan. So I was trying to hide the big grin on my face when the client called with the enquiry. I'm going to bid on the clients close competitors. so when the a user searches for a close competitor on the search engines - my client's ad will come up. So it's important to get the "competition" right. Not too higher end and not too low end - just right. I've shortlisted these close competitors: One of them is my client, guesses will not be entertained, so dont bother. What do you think? accutron esq gucci hamilton movado nixon nomos oakley oris rado revue thommen tag heuer true victorinox wittnauer seiko - most go for $150, so wouldn't be right market. citizen - is slightly lower end, some do fetch near the $1000 mark but most are $300 range Edited February 22, 2013 by totalwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totalwise Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Ocean7 Helson Zinex Armida Mkii Lumtec Bathys Benarus Boshett Dievas Magrette Stowa This adds a few... a true watch afficianado I see. The trouble is to make it worth my while to create competiting ads for these brands and monitor the ads in future, there has to be sufficient volume of traffic for them. A lot of these are not very well know and have very little presence in Google sdhopping which leads me to think they're not very searched for, ocean 7 - little web presence (LWP) helson - LWP zinex - LWP (only 1 on google shopping) armida - LWP mkii - comes up as a model than a make (tawatec mkii, tng sailmaster mkii etc) lumtec (seems like a little known watch fan watch (PAM homage) - wouldn't be suitable for my use. bathys - LWP benarus - LWP boshett - LWP dievas - LWP magrette - LPW stowa - mostly $150 (too low end) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) The Sisu or the Lum-Tec Then you have the Storm, The TechnoMarine, Prometheus, Jorg Gray, Orient, Dievas, I mean it goes on and on... I could list more but why not just go to the watch blogs and watch review sites like Blogtowatch etc as these list brands known unknown and new etc Here is a link to those sites mate or rather some of them http://www.invesp.com/blog-rank/watches I aint sure why you think Stowa is $150 they get much more expensive than that... most come with decorated Swiss movements Edited February 22, 2013 by PeteM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) I kinda like Glycine Funny you say that I was looking at one the other day that I took a shine to.... the KMU 48... the others are too small for my taste though.. The Sisu though is bleedin enormous and weighs over a pound !! Edited February 22, 2013 by PeteM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the competitor brand is close enough - it may just work. I'm just going to go for the most well know competitors maybe just 15-20 of them Stowa: where I am - I see very little stowa watches for sale in google shopping. maybe it's the bias in my geographic and not many are sold here. I see maybe 3-4 used stowa watches beinnd solid fro $150 to $300. maybe the retail for $1000, I don't know. In any case the competitor brand has to be well known enough (like tag heuer, rado, victorinox) that it has lots of searches - as in thousands of searches every day.

late Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Frederique Constant and Maurice Lacroix are both independants selling nice pieces in that range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josecolon47 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hamilton, Tag and Tissot. Tag is imo is the best luxury for the price range, but these days tag's go $1,200+ for a decent one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakin14 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I would add Oris. I picked up a very sharp Williams F1 day/date for just over a grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobkat Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I think sevenfriday sells their watches around a grand or a bit more, but again this might be too low of a web presence for you to care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
