Re: Baume, Movado, and Tag
In Response To: Baume, Movado, and Tag ()

I agree with you about B&M, Tag and Movado being a tier (or two) below Omega. I am, however, fond of B&M watches. I have the Hampton (quartz) and a Capeland (auto). Both are sturday, reliable and, IMHO, great looking watches. Believe it or not, at +5 sec/day, my Capeland is just as accurate as my De Ville Prestige (tonneau face, chronometer). Don't think the same quality is there in Tag (unless you get into the highest end of the Tag line) and definitely not there in Movado.

Just my 2 cents.

: I purchased my smp 300 auto for $1250.00 During
: my outings at the jewelers I found that
: Baume, Tag, and Movado were nearly as
: expensive for their Quartz watches as was
: the Omega auto. How is this possible? I
: think that these are three great brands, but
: are not even on the same tier as Omega. It
: seems as though Omega has a good thing going
: for the price because they are arguably on
: the same tier as Rolex for about half the
: cost. Can anybody straighten this price
: thing out for me. Thank you in advance.
