Try this...

Swiss, Large face, Heavy, and uniqe.

Tissot is also swiss made and a good buy.
This guy knows what he is talking about. Both solid, entry level watch brands.

If you are just going to get one watch, stick with one of the classics:
Blancpain
Breguet
Patek Philippe
Vacheron Constantin

But hey I don't want to be a snob, so I'll go against conventional wisdom and throw in
Audemars Piguet
Girard-Perregaux
and IWC.

Have fun shopping. I wish I had a $1000 to shop for a watch.
he said $1000, not $20000

[QUOTE=kumar75150,Jul 18 2007, 11:30 PM]1) Please whatever you do, for the love of God, do not buy a Movado.

2) My personal recommendation would be to get a Sinn U1.

If you like it, go for it.

I bought almost every watch I own from Timezone. It's the best place to shop for used watches.

Longines has the oldest trademark if you're interested in history.

That Hamilton is nice.

The value of a collection is intrinsic to the person collecting. If one values bellybutton lint and chooses to collect it, then it is collectible. Monetary value, history and originality can be included to describe a collection, but do not themselves define collectibility.
