maulermacall@hotmail.com Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hello Im steering away from reps for awhile and going to start collecting budget to mid priced gens. I've been reading about Hamilton relaunching in the UK, for their quality, low price and prolific name overseas, this is one brand Im going to start to collect. Im also looking at Anonimo watches which perhap are a slightly more competitvely priced equivilant to Panerai. Is their a particular brand that you collect, that you feel is reasonabley priced and with the right marketing and celebrity endorsements could be a good investment?

StormTooper4 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Agree on the Anonimo, think that Glycine is underated little gem though not exactly new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I like Universal Geneve. Their vintage Polarouters are cool, and has a special Microrotor movement. Titoni is another interesting Swiss brand, one of the few independed manufacturers in the lower price range. But, they use stock ETA-movements and bought-in cases, not very innovative. Girard-Perregaux is up and coming, I think. Nice divers! Longines... Great brand! Even though I expect Longines will always be in the shadow of Omega as long as they are under the same umbrella... :-/ All of these are old brands, with history.. Glycine as well. Their old Airman from the sixties is a cheap way to get something that reminds of the orange hand Rolex Explorer II, with true military pedigree.. Anonimo is just another "New kid on the block" for me.. Another one who wants to make money on the watch trend.. ( Nice design, though) Chase-Durer might be up and coming in Europe.. I have seen them mentioned in several magazines lately.. Not my cup of milk though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madstal Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hamilton's are great - I own 3 of them. Agree with Glycine as well - excellent, I have a classy looking hand wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southcoast68 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Sorry to be a bit off-topic with this, but I googled Glycine Airman, and found this site hxxp://www.glycineairman.info/ (replace xx with tt). This site shows many pics of supposed fakes, so if anyone is thinking of a gen of this, be careful. Just a freindly heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalcranium Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hamilton, Tissot, Accutron offer decent entry level, ETA automatics in some nice styles for under 1K. If you are interested in Divers, check out Ocean7 watches...rock solid pieces, 1000M WR for around $700 http://www.ocean7watchco.com/watches/produ...;products_id=18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
