Citat:At least you can sell a Rolex again All new watches are overpriced . It depends on what you want . But most micro brands are not value for the buck . They are use and throw away watches , with nothing to do with good watchmaking . You make a shiny case on a CT machine , and stick a cheap run of the mill caliber in it . That is whats not to like .

So high resale price is what defines good value for money for you? That is important, but for me not the only contributor to the "good bang for the buck" stamp.

Most of the micro brands uses ETA 2824-2 or Sellita SW200 movements. Not highend, but they are decent and reliable, and more importantly widely servicable. Not anything I would personally just throw away if it stopped keeping good time.

No i do not think that resale price is the most important . But i think that if you asked nearly all watch enthusiasts or collectors they would say yes . If i wanted bang for the buck , i would buy a Seiko Sumo . Because at least if i wanted to change it , it is not so difficult to sell again There are two sides to every story , i am just giving the other side . ETA and Sellita supply calibers with any finish you want , you just have to pay for it . These Micro design brands are popping up every 5 minutes . Why do you think that is ? Could it be that for a minimal amount of Money , you can set yourself up as a serious brand , and make huge profits ? Thats fine by me we live in a capitalistis world . But when people start to tell me about the fantastic new watch you can buy for under 10000 kr , i am to say the least sceptical . If any of these brands made good watches , why are they so bloody hard to sell again . Could it be that the market as spoken . I would only throw them away after getting all the use i could out of one of these watches .
