Sorry to say, for your first lux watch, dont ever get G.Seiko.....

Once you are much more familiar with the market, then decide if you want to get a G.S.... and that would be 4th 5th or 6th watch..

Whoa... i dont expect this here...

As a bathy owner myself, I would give you a

Since you are buying it for your wedding, I suggest getting a "His & Her" pair, meaning you likely need a model that have both men and lady's size, unless your wife have ...uh... ample wrist girth...

THat said brand wise..

1. Rolex I would say no, cause of the current premium, dont pay... BUT Datejust would be a nice men/women pair cause they comes with various size

2. JLC, Blancpain, Piaget, Breguet, Chopard etc... exquisite pieces, but 99% of your friends will never know the value or even heard of the brand

3. PM/Omega/IWC, Zenith, Breitling... likely good choice. Famous enough that the masses atleast heard of them, pretty decent watches too.

4. Tudor, Longines, B&R, Ball etc... not really high on the horology list, also well below your budget (I'm assuming 40k per piece).

5. PP, AP, Lange, VC.... out of budget.

Edit : 6. Cartier, a pair of Santos, or Tank would be very nice for a wedding pair watch

I'm not saying GS is bad, I'm saying its not for everyone, especially a new collector.

Hublot? Many youtube video on why ppl dislike hublot.. maybe their non convention advertising? The way the dilute their brand (from very cheap to very exp watches), their low end watches using standard movement but asking for premium etc etc etc

BUT..... that only applies with horology snobs, regular Joe with some money, they will still think hublot is a luxury brand and happily pay retail for it...

Between Oris and Tissot.... I prefer Oris...

I have 2 Oris.. Big Crown and Atelier Skel, wife also got 1.... hardly see any wrist time... last worn like 3+ yr ago...

I also have a Tissot... last worn... er.. 7+ yrs ago?

Its also about sentimental value....

Like the watch i got to celebrate my kid's birth.... now sell can make 100% above retail... but wontt sell...

Or like the watch my late dad pass down.... wont sell...

um.. mine abit diff.. like graphite coloured brushed dial, sedna+titanium... its a limited edition.

Yes, and the buckle, you know where its going...

If you are buying to sell then it doesnt matter, if you are buying to wear, then confirm sorhai.com paying these premium. Its liek paying 300k for a proton when you can get a BMW for the same price.

99.99% of all watches will lose money.

Covid luxury good surge will repeat itself? If you wanna take that bet, well good luck to you

Pretty sure more then 99.99% bro... total watch market is about USD65+ billion...

As for Rolex, before covid I still walk into AD to get DJ for my mom with discount. Only model not available were the subdate/gmts. Explorer, YM etc all easily available. Heck with this kinda premium, if not for sentimental reason i would have sold mine as well. A regular daytona/GMT should not cost more then a calatrava...

Anyway, lolex sells 1M+ units a year... this false demand will not hold up. RIgth now its like a circle jerk, mostly dealers trading to other dealers for slim margin, musical chair.

Talk until like ROlex is haute horology and the epitome of luxury
