@J_Benn 5 месяцев назад

So PG is now selling a watch with double-domed sapphire for $35 in a dress watch and Seiko itself is STILL selling $300-$400+ Presage watches with Hardlex? Orient doesn't get to Sapphire unless you spend $200 or more and that's on divers. Even for Casio you have to spend over $100. Will the "mainstream" companies ever get a clue? It's insane at his point.

@Entertainment- 5 месяцев назад

Who’s point?

@ohhenry2 5 месяцев назад

Pretty sure Seiko and Orient are doing just fine; they know what they can and cannot do (in terms of market response), and have determined that it is still profit maximizing to reserve sapphire for higher price points. The question is: when will mainstream customers start migrate en masse to Chinese watch brands and their higher value offerings? Until that starts to happen on more significant numbers, I don't think Seiko/Orient feel the need to compete against the likes of Pagani Design. Oh, and Seiko still has a respectable name brand, a for real warranty, a rich history. So they don't need to compete on specs/value alone. I own more Seikos than any other brand, and several Chinese specials, as well so I appreciate them both, and I hope no one takes this comment as prejudiced or trolling.

@J_Benn 5 месяцев назад

@ohhenry2 I have several Seikos too. I still wear them. But more and more as I see them raise prices even on Seiko 5s and continue to have alignment issues and QC issues while still putting hardlex on a $500 watch while a random Chinese company can put out a watch with a Seiko movement and double-dome sapphire for $35, it does make even a Seiko lover even wonder if the company even cares anymore about its product or most loyal consumers (not the casual buyer).

It's a Rolex OP clone but in typical Pagani fashion their photocopier was a little light on ink and the dimensions got a but fluffed. This clone is of the 39mm but it is somewhere between the OP 39 and 36 in dimensions. I own a white dial Rolex OP 36mm and it's one of my favorite GADA watches of all time. It goes with me to the gym and to business meetings. Best part about a real OP is that they are so unassuming. You get all the quality of a Rolex without dealing with wearing a Rolex (cause most people won't recognize it as a Rolex)
