Hi Everyone, I'm new here! I've read most of your opinions....well, whether the watch is luxury or expensive or not, it depens on each one's view.

However, I do suggest that we look at the philosophy of the watch maker as well as the technology and workmanship which the manufacturer invested in.

As no argument, the top 5 should be :

1) PP
2) AP
3) VC
4) Brequet
5) Blanpain

and the rest are coming closely.....

As for recent pop up stars which very pop in the market place, I've heard PANERAI, Bell & Ross....and for OMEGA, TAG HEUER, ORIS, TISSOT....those are very nice watch too for those entry level collectors. However, there's not much value for the long term collection purposes should one expecting the appreciation of value.

Rolex is common and well accepted among the collectors, especially in ASIA i.e. JAPAN, HK, TAIWAN, S'pore and M'sia. As for Euro/US, they might prefer other international brands.

Hope these can contribute a bit as sharing.....:-)

Undeniably, the top 5 are there due to their long watchmaking history and craftmanship. But how many layman like us could afford to own one?

And yes, those brands you mentioned above might not be appreciate in value, but if you look at the recent auctions around the world, some of the vintage Omegas, Rolexes, even Heuer (pre Tag) did fetch some good price.

Just buy whichever that sing to your heart and enjoy wearing them, appreciation in value would be the secondary matter.
