I don't enjoy it but...
I had very poor luck with my IWC Pilots watch. The watch had a JLC movement that did not work out well for many owners, and I was one of the unfortunate ones. My JLC Master Ultra Thin is a great watch, so my IWC problem may not have been solely with the JLC movement. I would be circumspect of anything IWC does because of this unfortunate incident.
My Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse was also not up to my expectations. Repeated trips to the repair shop have made me hesitant to own another.
Breitling, Tudor, Sinn, G-P, Ball, Glycine, JLC, Rolex, Omega and Eberhard have all been good watches.
Merry Christmas!

Is there any company you would not buy from?
I can't answer this question only because my buying is really really limited. But that does'nt mean I would'nt buy one brand over the other. Where I live there's no high end watch stores so i don't have the privilege of seeing high end watches. If you do ...

No particular..
Over the years of buying watches, there is a tendency to gravitate to those that you have been familiar and also to where there is a good selection available. Due to a growing collection, watches that interest me would have to be unique from my perspectiv...
I'm on the same line, here
I spend too much time on thinking about the brands I love to think about the brands I don't love... Best, Nicolas
After sales service is a
major fact that i take into consideration also.Granted most of the watches i have purchased in the past 15 years i still wear from time to time, we learn from our past experience.I am fortunate enough to have a local AD that is ready,willing and able to d...
Excellent criteria, cdfire!
I can't agree more with you on this criteria to seect or not a brand. Avoiding dreams that can turn into nightmare is a capital thing, indeed. Best, Nicolas
Never say never
I don't think I'm in a position to discount any brand as a whole, because marques are always evolving. However, we all have preferences and parameters (financial or otherwise) that we adhere to. For example, I tend to like watches of 40mm-42mm in size, so...
i dont think there is any brand i wont buy from
as long as the watch appeals to me and i can afford it i will consider buying it. there are brands that put me off a bit but only because they have regurgitated historic names when they have no link to them whatsoever. thats more a branding issue than a w...
Agree!!!
I agree with everything Graham has said....the first being the watch has to appeal to me!
I have the opposite problem...
...knowing to many companies that I am eager to buy watches from, but cannot afford to do so! Therefore, why should I bother with those, I do not really like? How does the famous song tell: "Always look at the bright side of life" - Bets, anaesdoc
Dun think its the brand but the retailers or sole agent
that gives the brand bad customer experience. Had one such encounter with Porsche Design in SG where the sole agent was just horrible. No other issues with JLC, Rolex and Omega for me. cheers Pat
