Whatever: They all house ETA movements anyway, except the tourbillon model.
B&R makes nice watches but there's NO WAY in a lifetime that I will ever pay a such price for a watch housing a 200$ mass produced movement.
I just can't wait for them to be forced to invest them huge profits in making them own movements when ETA will cut them off: That will be about time.
Sellita will never match the market demand ETA was barely reaching anyway, so good luck to those overpriced brands.
I concur. B&R is significantly overpriced, considering the stock movement inside and lack of company heritage. Kudos to those who have enough resources so that these issues don't matter much to them, but I have to consider value when I buy. B&R doesn't offer much, IMO.
I'd certainly take one as a gift, though!
The thing for me is: Even I would easily have the money for it, it would hurt me to buy one. Why?
Because there's no glory into wiping your own butt with money: Even when you can afford it. This kind of stunt is for childish show-offs.
I explain: Imagine...I'm stinky rich...My neighbor go to the AD down town and buy a 2500$ watch worth 100% it's honest price:Like where everybody along the chain been making a good margin on this watch.
Then he comes to ring on my door and shows me the watch: Tells me "It's 4500$ buddy!" Then I ask "Why, it's not the AD price??"
So he tells me that he drove down town, lost his time to do so, burned gas, paid it in advance and delivered it to my door like a warm pizza: "So price difference is justified!"
Then I tell him "F@ck you man: I can drive myself!"
You would do so too!
SO: Why are you ready to pay something overpriced who's justified by NOTHING? Or something like a status ,a reputation made overnight or a sick advertising budget?
Just because you have the money? Maybe because there's no direct proof that the brand scams you like your neighbor would do? Are we so blind?
There's a limit on "to be taken for a donkey": Even when you're rich...
I don't give "charity" to millionaires when I buy a watch: Even I'm a millionaire.
