If they want to compete with Omega and Breitling surely the way to do it is to improve the product quality first and make themselves an attractive proposition and then put the prices up... not the other way around.

2006, interesting... so two years after they reintroduced the F1 they were flying high. I guess we have to blame Swatch then for making the brands turn everyone against quartz and insisting that only in house will do now.

Isn't it funny how in house movements are seen as the pinnacle of luxury yet Seiko make their own in house automatic movements in their £100 watches...

They are really reliable too. A mate wore a £50 seiko for about 20 years until it lost accuracy. Never serviced.

Madness. That’s not how you raise revenue.

Dropping Quartz should definitely sit behind making their mechanical offerings more reliable in my opinion.
I’d also add: to stop issuing LEs every other week…

In my view it cheapens a brand (Hello Panerai, IWC, Zenith or Hublot). Rolex has understood that decades ago, Omega a couple of years…

I agree. The difficulty is that it appears to be working for them though, as we see them quickly being snapped up by many a forum member.

Just noticed that Bicester now have ten different Autavias in stock. I mean can you even remember ten different Autavias?

Funny cause Hodinkee sent an email campaign yesterday trying to sell the Orange Boy edition too. Dunno how many of those they made but clearly way too many!

The more recent "TAG Heuer" Autavias, I presume?

Yes, of course, I was referring to the Heuer Autavia Heritage that emerged from the Autavia Cup, not that new generation of TAG Heuer Autavias 👍

The Autavia clearly is a cursed model, no one buys em it seems
Too big. That 2017 bezel is ridiculous.

Newer ones look like Fossils.
