Mickey Padge Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Four figures at LEAST I would say, but I could be way off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoooooonz Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 One thousands pieces isn't so bad. So I reckon the wholesale on a standard stainless steel, sappihre crystal, eta watch is about $100. Get a good design and you could start a watch brand. Outside of replicas you are hard pressed to get a watch with eta movement and sapphire crystal for under $300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 why where you thinking of designing a custom watch then selling it? that would be pretty cool, your very own watch brand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 that would be pretty cool, your very own watch brand! It sure would. If it takes off, the rep manufacturers already have the patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 A dealer told me he needed 500 pieces I would believe 500 is a very valid number. How many gens have you seen put out as a limited edition of 500 pieces? Gevril drove me nuts with this. I bought a few GV2s when they first started making them again. Then they would change a dial color and call it another "Limited Edition" ... of 500 pieces. /Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkey Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hmmm. I'm interested in where this is going and would be curious to try something like this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I have heard on a number of occasions that it is a 1,000 pieces if you are having a dedicated movement made and substantially less otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 i think that a custom watch with some kind of RWG link/branding that can only be bought from this site would be very cool, and also you could make it very limited e.g 500.pcs so that maybe one day collectible and valuable amongst rep collectors, who knows it could be rep'ed further down the line!
