I prefer more lowend watches. Yes a Rolex is nice, but I would not dare use it anyway, I would risk my life by doing so. Personally would I prefer something like good quality Seiko, good quality, they are very durable, highly functional and reasonable priced. Something you can use and wear everyday and feel happy about each time you look at the time.
I do not underestimate the investment value of a high end watch, but for the same reason would it be lying in the safe all the time, that is not how a chronograph should be used (imo). When it comes down to that, then would I prefer having gold bars instead.

Thats interesting tookdk. I myself, am a watch enthusiast. There truly is something special about an automatic watch. I wouldn't feel safe walking around with a full gold watch, but stainless steel is beautiful. And even some not so opulent rolexes are beautiful as well. I have my eye on a titanium breitling we have in stock.

i prefer the free variety ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) on a serious note, if youre looking to sell a lot, lower-tier luxury watches would be better; not many people on this forum look to make a purchase as big as a rolex.

Hum, you should live in a very "rough" part of you country to be afraid of wearing a Rolex in the street ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) There are people who wear much nicer and expensive watches and do not seem to have any problem. BTW if you want a nice automatic, without the high cost of a Rolex, superb build quality and look. Get a Hamilton ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I have my eye on a titanium breitling we have in stock.
I really like style and look of breitling. I also appreciate the engineering behind a high quality mechanical chronograph. Still waaaay to expensive to wear. Would be the same as taking a couple of gold coins and wear in a chain around the neck.

Get a Hamilton ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Seriously my friend, I would not dare wearing a real rolex any public place in Scandinavia. I would seriously jeopardize your life. Pros: You know the time and can show of a little. Cons: you risk getting robed, killed or best case loose the watch and suffer a big financial loss. Easy choice. I like citizen chronograph watches, not looking at costly rolex watches ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Good example here. I think people have a wrong impression about the bitcoiners of today. I honestly think that the ones who make big cash on bitcoin is not active in this forum.

I felt the same way, the first time I wore a nicer watch. I was in a airport and got myself so worked up that I was going to get mugged, so I kept putting my hand over the watch to cover it up. lol To the OP...if I had the spare money and the urge to buy my next watch, it would be an open dial such as the Bovet Recital 12. I really like this brand, especially the Amadeo series. http://thewatchlounge.com/introducing-bovet-1822-recital-12-monsieur-dimier/Its similar to the Breguet Tradition WG 7027 Manual http://www.minutemachines.com/watches/Breguet/Breguet7027/Breguet7027_04.jpgor Millenary RG 4101 http://timetapestry.blogspot.com/2012/11/review-of-millenary-4101-fine-finishing.html

I think if you guys offered lower end items they would sell. I like nice watches, but would never drop that sorta cash on one personally. I wear a Citizen Eco Drive watch (cost under $400) and to me that is a nice enough watch. Not sure if you guys bother to stock watches under $500 or not though. Bitcointalk is not really a good place for this type of stuff unfortunately.

I wish you guys a lot of success selling with Bitcoin, but I don't see much market for you around here ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) If you want to sell such watches here you might as well order a Apple Watch Edition, maybe someone around here could be interested ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Rolex is the luxury watch and every people surely will love it. But I think, most people in the forum can't afford the rolex watch since the price is also quite high. Most people in here , IMO, only interest with low price stuff and other bitcoin related stuff ( like coins, mining hardware, etc )

Almost everyone want a high end expensive watch such as a Rolex, Patek, Omega, Breitling etc but their prices are just simply unaffordable. I think that on the forum you're more likely to make smaller sales and that people would prefer lower value watches. I for one like simple and slim watches. I personally prefer elegance but I'm adamant on the watch being slim. You can get decent and nice looking watches for about £250-£500. Selling a high value watch on here would be difficult for many reasons. When buying a watch like that, people would usually do it in person when they can see the watch on their wrist.
