"luxury watch"? I've never seen any particularly compelling sub-$1000 mechanical watches, and I'd say the "luxury" segment for watches starts at more than $2000

- rauhl 9y ago> I've never seen any particularly compelling sub-$1000 mechanical watches I guess it depends on what you mean by ‘compelling.’ Ævig, Lew & Huey, Nivrel, Hamilton, Christopher Ward, Melbourne and many, many more have some very attractive options for under $1,000. You do have a point about the word ‘luxury’ though — I should have just stuck with ‘mechanical’ or ‘automatic.’
- jgh 9y agomaybe more like $4000 where you can get a low-end Rolex. The $1000-4000 price range seems to be dominated by nice looking watches that use swatch (ETA) movements. At least the sub-$1000 watches are honest about what they are, so you're mostly buying them for aesthetics anyway.
- fgonzag 9y agoYou can find automatic tags for around 1k. I know it's not the Omega, Rolex, Patek, etc, but it is considered luxury by many.
