The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I’m absolutely shocked that someone on this forum mentioned Tag as a high end watch as they have so many $500-$1,000 pieces.

It should?? Only if you're a materialistic fool.

I agree with everything RJ has said including Tag can be considered high end.

I hope one day you'll be able to afford a watch that I mentioned earlier as high end then you'll understand.

My definition of high end only includes a few such as AP, Patek Phillipe, Hublot, Vacheron Constatin and others in that price range. To me Panerai (and definitely Breitling) is not high end, and thus not a status symbol. I have a watch that has titanium, carbon fiber and other nicer materials and I think it is a high end watch, but the brand as a whole is not. This goes for Breitling too, just because they have some pieces over $10k, or even a few really expensive pieces made with gold doesn't make it a high end brand. And this is my personal opionion, if we are back to talking about the average person who spents $1,000 on a watch and thinks that is a lot then maybe everything above the $1,000 is high end.

Oh come now, we're being a little harsh aren't we.

High end really is nothing but price. Take sharkman's XEZO for example (and I'm sure that he wishes someone would). If you present that to someone who had no clue what constituted a high end watch (I can't think of anyone right now, but you guys will probably have someone in mind) and told them that it cost $30,000 despite having a generic movement because it was such an exclusive and unusual watch (I mean let's face it, it's far rarer than a common or garden Rolex or PAM) then they would automatically claim that it was indeed high end and try to buy it from Tom.

It really does take all sorts to make the world

You business address is public record. Your receptionist could be signing for a mystery package from Arizona when you least expect it.

???? I understand perfectly well, you're clueless.

I've found watches that are signifincantly less expensive than the ones you listed, that are just as 'high end.' Maybe when you experience some watches other than a watch box full of Breitlings then I'll listen to you.

Totally agree. When I had a Pam I would get a ton of looks at work and people would ask what is that??? Very few people know what a Panerai is, a lot of people who know nothing about watches know a Rolex.

My Breitlings are a fraction of my watch collection.

I'll stick to my watches, and you stick to your "high end" Tag's and everyone will be happy.

That's a bit like telling Charlie Sheen that you hope he can eventually hook up with a really hot woman so he will understand why so many people like sex.
