Tim Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 This is a watch to have. It is beautiful. A Grieb vintage movement customized by Benzinger. A steal at $15,660! /Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrain Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Holy smokes! That's a beauty! I like the "fast" and "slow" adjustment on the movement! Not for those who fear scratching the back of their $15,000 watch by cracking the back with a $20 watch opener Do you think the rep could ever mimic all the "waves" and different shades of gold/copper in the movement? Amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted April 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Nahhh, I'd rather have a quartz!!!! (Sorry) Incredible stuff and you are right, a steal at that price. I usually do vintage in the hopes that they will gain value while I fondle them, but do you think a customized watch like that would appreciate? /Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These customized pieces will appreciate considerably,...but not in our lifetime. They are works of art and will gain value from a combination of rarity, body of work of the artist, desireability...all the things that determine the going value for fine artwork. Unless you have a custom piece from the likes of a George Daniels, I'd say immediate significant return isn't in the cards. perhaps a custom piece by a rising star like RG Murphy might be more affordable and pay off in a reasonable amount of time.
