I agree in that the "limited" badge affixed to a watch means NOTHING to me in the watch buying equation unless I am taking it into consideration for (God forbid) resale value. To be frank, it’s just I usually I like the way Special edition watches look.
But I guess I forgot to mention probably the most important aspect of a limited numbered or special edition watch. Does this increase the watches apparent value to YOU! That is the question at the end of it all.
For example: I was sent the “Tactical” version of a watch to review and comment upon. This was a highly sought after limited edition of this particular model and carried an additional $2500 price tag on an already $4000 watch. I opened said watch and compared it with the standard model inside and out. In conclusion, the addition of PVD coating was the only difference between standard and limited model, period. No dial differences, hand differences, nothing.
I stated in my review that “although I love the watch….. The larger price tag vs features added does not make it a worthy value in my eyes. If this was a $1000 watch with a $500 or up-charge then yes. But it is difficult to justify a 50% increase for a little PVD, at this price-point”
I was LAMBASTED by owners of this watch! One fellow emailed me “at $6000 and only X number of them in exsistance, I think that makes it a kick ass value!!!!”. And there you have it! It made it a great value to HIM!!!! I was looking at it from a pure dollar ratio to work done value”
