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.

Wow! Dubey & Schaldenbrand on the list - din't see that one coming! Like your style!
I suspect it was towards the end of the night too.
Actually - I think it's not far off :wink:
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Panerai in the top tier :error:
Never heard of them.
Who's their CEO, Joey Deacon?
Should be in the fashion sector imo :idea:
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!!
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:
i suppose Zenith snd the El Primero movement should be terminated forthwith :D
Ah, HELLO - G-Shock/Casio?

No Rolex or JLC in Premium?
Never heard of them.

:D :D :D
Thats a blast from the past
I calculate your age as 40-41 :D :?:
:lol: :lol: :lol: Blue Peter IIRC.:D :D :DNever heard of them.

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 :!:
I suppose we must have grown up somewhere along the way.
Or they just sat down and did an internet search in google with the word 'expensive watches' :lol:
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

I actually started laughing as I read the list. :lol:
They must have got the work experience boy to do it during his lunch time.
Agreed.

Bloody ridiculous! :| Don't they make every movement in house and have a wider range of calibres than almost anyone else!
"I looked with pity not untinged with scorn upon these trivial-minded passers-by"
Yes and some of the most complicated watches known to man , they are reagrded as near the top :shock:+1

Joey Deacon was indeed a legend, one of my poor mates still has the nickname ''joey'' :D
