Shundi Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 The manufacturers probably don't think enough people will purchase one for it to be a profitable venture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieG Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Yup. +1. It is all about opportunity and opportunity cost. Each factory, for timing reasons of labor for manufactuer and developement in the case of 1:1 projects has a finite number of releases they can do each year. They constantly search these forums (which they use us as test market guinea pigs) and gen forums to see what watches are being talked about, are hot, new, etc. They don't just look for watches that they think are cool or would be easier to replicate or whatever. Their reasons are 100% economical. If I can put out say four 1:1's a year, which ones will I sell the most of? And therfore the bigger known luxury brands will always win the race as long as they have do-able releases - Rolex, IWC, Breitling, Omega, AP. Plus, for some of the brand repeats they can reuse tooling like in the case of many Rolex and Breitling's for instance with identical cases, bezels, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
