Longines Entry ? Omega Fashion ? :shock:
i always look at these popular lists with a jaundiced eye.
Premium: how can D&S and Panerai make the list
Luxury: Corum and Breitling?!...that's a reach
the absence of JLC from either the premium or luxry category is a serious omission.

I suspect it was towards the end of the night too.Originally Posted by Mrcrowley

When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Panerai in the top tier :error:
Never heard of them.Originally Posted by Argee1977
Who's their CEO, Joey Deacon?
Should be in the fashion sector imo :idea:Originally Posted by whoami
I'd put as much faith in that list as I would in Gordon Brown :roll: :roll:
No mention of Chopard, Sinn, Oris, Ulysse Nardin, Tudor, Zenith
Even if I take my Omega fanboy hat off that list is 100% twaddle. Panerai a premium brand? They wouldn't even make it in the top 10 of my fashion watch list. Apart from that there's some serious omissions from a list comprised by and for emissions.
Cheers,
Gary
thats where all the best lists are made!!Originally Posted by Mrcrowley
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I think they would need to be aware of the existence of those brands to include them on the list :lol:Originally Posted by Enoch
i suppose Zenith snd the El Primero movement should be terminated forthwith :D
Ah, HELLO - G-Shock/Casio?

A blast from the past indeed Carl.
I still remember him (age 44).
I wouldnt take the piss out of someone in his position now, but by ek, we got some mileage out of Joey Deacon when we were kids eh ?
My thoughts exactly :!:Originally Posted by gasgasbones
I suppose we must have grown up somewhere along the way.

When did consumer value ever come into the equation when buying premium watches? The recent thread on bracelet prices just proves that :mrgreen:United Brands LLC
