Me Starchild Superluminova ❤️ watches since I owned as a kid my first one, but lately it went totally crazy 🤯. Especially on the Swiss end of the market.
I bought in 1996 for my graduation my first 'real' Swiss made watch... a Rolex Pepsi GMT (16700). Because of the occasion and because it was then most beautiful watch I every seen 😳.
But nowadays brand names and what you get is not in balance anymore.
Of course that is mu opinion
I think I understand luxury and know why a Swiss watch cost what is cost these days. But as I mentioned I have the feeling the balance is gone!
So therefore in 2022 I sold my GMT watch and did start all over.
Focusing on the form first not the fame and manly on my first love the 'diver watch". So now I collect Japanse (dive watches) by Seiko, Casio and Citizen and search for those Chinese 'gems' these day who are giving a lot of quality and joy for prices that are also out of balance ... but then because they ask to little by what the offer :-)
But because of this new perspective the joy in watches and watch collecting is back.
😂😂UPDATE … as much as I love my Japanese / Chinees collection, two Swiss brand caught my attention and I could not shake it off.
Tudor❗️and Longines ❗️
The more I looked in to these brands to more I saw that old balance between what you get 💯 and what you pay 💶.
With Tudor & Longines this was still a little bit in balance and therefore the purchase of a Tudor BB Heritage Burgundy, a Longines Conquest Heritga and a Longines Avigation BigEye is my step back into Swiss made ☺️.
I'm afraid a few more TUDOR's and Longiens will follow ... to be continued ...
Wow ... and my newest trend went from Divers to Pilots ...

Nowadays even retail prices for luxury watches are far overpriced.
I like and owned major luxury brand watches. But nowadays even at retail prices they are far overpriced by what you get.
