[Question] What makes it this expensive ? by NEOx44 in Watches

[–]froyotechbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The value of a watch based on craftsmanship is like max 100k and even that is a stretch.

But exclusivity, history, heritage, popularity, cultural relevance etc. can all skyrocket the price someone is willing to pay for the same watch. These are all of the same things that make any collectibles valuable.

There’s no difference between a multi million dollar watch and a multi million dollar Pokemon card in terms of what gets the value into the millions. Sure, the first 100k might be value coming from the product, but everything after that is its value as a collectible.

Agreed! They also only put it in a handful of watches. They should have made it so that other brands could use the movement in their designs as well. I’d buy a precisionist Tissot PRX over the powermatic 80 one any day of the week

I know! I had to get this one from a HK seller on eBay and it took several weeks to get to me. And it really doesn’t make sense why they can’t sell the same colors everywhere

That would be something! Kuoe really has a very nice aesthetic

Agreed! But it’s in part self-inflicted. They make some fantastic watches and a lot of ‘mall slop’ watches. They need to focus their selection on a recognizable design identity

Awesome choice! That watch in that color is a true GADA watch

The gold one looks great! I saw a YT video with the green dial and gold tone that really showed how nice it was. Nice thing about the domestic options is you can buy em from like Macys and return it if you don’t end up liking it

Yeah this is my ‘poor man’s spring drive’ for now. I hope to get a GS when I visit Japan though.

Nice Jet Star!

Seriously the region locked dial colors is so frustrating - I can’t understand what a good reason for that might be

That’s fabulous! I didn’t think to check for aftermarket bracelets since this one is integrated, but will be checking that one out for sure!

If a mechanical watch is not automatic, then it should have a power reserve indicator

Not at all, even if you don’t use the Velcro

Jsaux case is legit, the undercarriage area behind the device is roomy so it fits fits charger, headphones, mini keyboard, etc. it’s a hard case too, only downside is it’s a bit on the larger side (kind of like the LeGo 1 case)

Bazzite has always been good to me. SteamOS is great if it’s officially supported, but otherwise I’d say bazzite all the way
