    Parmigiani... I’d do GO or Patek for that money.

    Graham... it’s a look... and because of it resale is well it’s resale ie not a huge secondary market.

    Don’t they have the same distribution and marketing company?

    Dear Foo2rama

    Thank you for the reply. Ok. Understood, Graham doesn't have a good resale market.

    Bucherer, the watch brand is owned by the retail company Bucherer, I believe

    Parmigiani are great watches if you can find one at market prices. Do not pay anything close to retail, no more than 60%.

    Thank you Evitzee .that's an interesting insight. But at 60% of the retail price. So effectively Parmigiani is over priced?

    Yes and no. Just that no one pays MSRP for one. They sit for awhile and the dealers unload them since no one well pay full price for one.

    If you can get a Parmigiani for 60% of Retail you get really high horology at a great price. Go in a AD and hold one in your hand. At that price you should definitely consider also a A.Lange & Söhne. Bucherer aren't to bad if you get a discount on them. But they lose a lot of value when you want to sell them. Graham has a distinctive design that I wouldn't want to touch from under 10 feet away.
    If you have the money, buy what you like, and enjoy it. Maybe look also at what other watches you have and what would fit well in your collection.

    Buy what you like and what you see yourself wearing... for the rest, go play your hard-earned money at Vegas or Macau :)
