breitling&omega Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 It seems nowadays, every watch company is coming out with their verision of black pvd/dlc/ceramic watch. Just check the new releases of SIHH 2009 on JLC, GP, even IWC again. We all love the Breitling BS, and the IWC Top Gun was hot and often sold out. But just how long will this trend last? More importantly, will these watches hold their value in the future compared to their stainless siblings? BTW, to save me some time...........anyone here know if the TOP GUN reps are as good as the Breitling? Let me know if there is a v1 and v2 etc...Note that the TOP GUN has more then one version so I need to know which on is replicated. thanks!

alanytical Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I thought this thread topic had something to do with Obama, or Arsenio Hall trying to make a comeback on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastergod Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Not sure if this really contributes, I guess its kind of a random rant, but so what. Anyway, there was a black watch trend in the 80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corgi Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) Maybe this trend has something to do with Obama. I wonder what kind of watch he wears. Edited January 22, 2009 by Corgi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest avitt Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I hope that the Black Trend lasts a good, long time ...But I'll be here to strip all of those black watches if it ever ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenneth2 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 i have admired black watches for a long time but always resist because of scratching ask a watch smith and most will tell you to stay away if you are picky about our watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki6 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I've bought a good few black watches over the last 3-4 years. I'm a big fan of the Casio G-Shock Cockpit series, I got a ltd edition ION coated black version of a SS one I had, I love it and wear it often still! (even though I can't see them doesn't mean I shouldn't wear them!) I have a really nice Bench PVD coated black watch which is really stark and simple, the effect of it is fantastic! Have the J12 Cermic in black, and another couple of quartz watches that are just bangers I've collected over time. Oh and a real nice Fossill watch that I got in Niagra on the Lake that is polished PVD coated. They have been around for a good while, I don't see them falling anytime soon. Ok they aren't going to stand the test of time that SS or Gold will do, but I think they will be here for quite a while longer than some people may think.

ThomasGirgenti Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Today, it seems (in parts of Europe, anyway) the societal context has created a sense of shame associated with precious stones and metals, as they are symbols of gluttony and decadence, which in turn is the reason for many of the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastergod Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I think that it is a mode, the tecno mode. Ceramic, high tech materials, rubber, titanium ecc... are used for a look - modern - to the wristwatch, that is 100 years old I dont think that exist the sense of shame associated with precious stones.

Watchmeister Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Think of it this way... take a standard $3,000 watch, slap on $200 coat of dlc or ceramic, call it limited edition, sell it for $10,000. And yes I love the black watches as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
