Hi,
I (thought) I decided on a Tag Carrera day/date but stumbled across a BR 126 Original (stunning watch!)

Now, I am back to the drawing board and also include BR into the short list.

My question, not knowing much about BR, how does BR compare to Tag's and Omegas and the like in terms of:

a) quality
b) future depreciation in case I want to upgrade/swatch watches
c) reputation as a luxury watch maker

Any thoughts are highly welcome.

Thanks

Thank you for your feedback.

I do agree with your statement, that probably all watches are depreciating the moment you purchase them. Therefore, I dont really see a watch as an investment. That said, I do want to keep my option open in case I would lik to trade at a later stage (though this is definitely not one of the main purposes right now).

Ultimately, I am struggling with finding the right watch as I like several ones and I know that a purchase of this magnitude will be a once a year event (if even that).

Just a point in question: Patek Philippe brand of watch, only goes up in value, exponentially, observed from all the research I've done, .. . . . so, if you can afford a second hand model in their range, . . it will not only be an investment, but will hold it's value too. (I wished I had bought one back in 2016/2017, as the model I was looking at, has increased in value between + £25k - £30k, . . . . . almost doubling in value!!?
