Authentic Watches: Worth Every Penny

Authentic Watches — 01 February 2010
authentic watchesWith so many replica watch companies selling fake Rolexes, Tag-Heuers and Movados, you might think the more expensive authentic watches would be suffering, but just the opposite is true. In some respects, the replica watch craze has increased the value of genuine watches by giving more visibility to a brand than it would otherwise receive.
Just the fact that replicas are being made of a specific brand – like Michele, Tissot or Cartier – elevates the status of the brand. It makes the prospect of wearing a real luxury watch even more attractive. Wearing authentic watches also makes sense from a financial perspective. Even though they will cost a lot more than a replica up front, a high-end luxury watch will last for many years to come. It may even be passed on to the next generation; and in many cases it will increase in value.

Sure, if you just want the fashion “look” of a designer watch, you can still go out and buy a bunch of fake watches at a lower price, but only authentic watches will stand the test of time. Whether you choose a Swiss chronograph, Cartier cocktail watch or a new touch-sensitive Tissot Platinum T-Touch, you are certain to get more long term satisfaction from a genuine luxury timepiece.

    I would give Precision Time Watches a minus one star because unless they have the watch you want actually in stock,you could be in for a long wait,a very long wait.In my case waiting went over their estimated 14 day delivery time with no communication from them and they ignored my email request for info.In the end I had to threaten them with adverse reviews if they did not answer.This resulted in an email saying my Tissot watch had not arrived and that Simon may be able to source it from elsewhere.After yet another week of the silent treatment I sent another email.The reply being my watch would need to go on back order and this may take 2 or 3 weeks and would I like to wait or order a watch they actually have in stock.At this stage I dumped a company not to be recommended.
