Re: Omega Pricing
In Response To: Omega Pricing ()

: It is almost a year now since Omega last raised
: their prices by 10%. Although this is well
: above inflation it appears to be quite
: conservative when compared with rivals like
: Omega and Breitling. This price gap is
: widening. As most luxury watch buyers are
: not very knowledgeable in movements etc they
: generally assume that price is directly
: proportional to quality. Do you believe
: therefore that Omega's value for money is
: detrimental to the prestige of the brand as
: they more likely to be perceived as equal to
: the similarly priced models made by the
: likes of Tag rather than more expensive
: manufacturers like Breitling. I appreciate
: that Rolex are a marketing exception. Its
: only a thought but my stir some debate.

I suggest that you read Beginner's Guide to Major Watch Brands on this site to get a better idea on how LUXURY brands compare so you won't put Omega and Tag in the same cathegory again.

Cheers
