For first time watch buyers. They actually won't go for microbrands.
Usually big brands such as tag and rolex.
Because to them. It's the brand > quality and what not.
Secondly, since spending so much, friends must also know the brand what. If not buy already, friends don't know, how to kinda Haolian?

When the poison gets deeper. Then they will learn and start to appreciate the smaller details and microbrands will appeal to them.

my first expensive watch is a CK, cos the design jin swee

then i bought a parnis, then a stowa, then 2 orients

and i also have 2 gshocks lah
一代一代的消费者心态有所不同。如果你去问你长辈,父辈叔辈,他们年轻时候知道什么品牌,多数只会叫出 梅花,乐都,美都,捞叻,还有一些你或许有印象却又叫不出的名字。
而以上提到的品牌,出的錶款在当时都是属于非常耐用,外表样貌又不会太“失礼”的。
一经两三代消费者的替换,品牌做生意的模式也一代一代顺着需求而改进,7,80年代的平民品牌也走出不同命运。

以前的人相信品牌等于耐用,可靠。
90后的人相信品牌等于潮流。
现代的人相信品牌等于潮流,自信。

于是以上不同7,80年代四大平民金字品牌都面对不同命运。

捞叻。从80年初开始就被冠上“一生無只捞,永远做细佬”的一种品牌标语。如果你们有机会估狗到70年代品牌价格表的话,你们会发现捞叻只是与其他錶厂平起平坐的品牌而已。过后的增值都是靠推销与炒作,工艺方面都是靠回收的盈利开发与进步的。。。 如果捞叻很了得的话,也就不会采用Zenith机芯来推动前几代的Daytona啦。

乐都。80年代的电子錶浪潮几乎把这品牌推到悬崖边,SWATCH的收购救了品牌一把。乐都针对的一向都是那些喜欢“现代感,流线型”设计的消费群。錶款方面也就只有一个系列有捞叻的味道,其余的,不会流行至今。。。 除了那“元宝”款式设计正中东方人的“吉祥,财富”斜意,直到今日还是历久不衰。乐都除了靠“现代感前卫”设计推高品牌知名度之外,还靠工艺技术的进展给人留下“先进”印象。最深刻的该属采用陶瓷技术造錶壳,錶带。将品牌印象推高至SWATCH集团中级地位。

美都。如果说乐都的设计沉闷,美都的设计更加沉闷了。美都一向都是比较注重在于工艺与造工。因此美都的设计比较一板一眼的,圆就是圆,方就是方,没什么流线,前卫可谈。但是在工艺方面,能够抢得民心的也就只能靠高规格材料,平民价格来推高其知名度了。

CK自90末年代以来,一向来都与潮流脱离不了关系。与Tiffani一样,只是靠设计为主来奠定自己的地位。

我自己是个品牌老古板。父辈叔辈传下来的信念,我也就延续着。
加上自中学时期至今,对于 梅花 的“不排华”的正面印象深刻,就巩固了我对于品牌能够提供的“价值”了。

Titoni, edyeo's fav :o
:D 天呀!!!你是不是每天跟踪我?:s13:

不谈设计,先从机芯开始。梅花 自开始以来很少有自家机芯的开发历史。网上见到刻上FELCA名字的机芯,多数都是别的厂家制造,再来刻上自家品牌。目的是在于稳定可修性。80年代过后,ETA大量生产的机芯,被市面上多数品牌使用,自然而然,梅花 也就采用至今日啦。

再谈价格。梅花 的价格一向来直到近十年都是比较平易近人。
如果纯粹将焦点放在机芯上,许多人或许会说机芯便宜没什么好谈的。但是 梅花 要做到物有所值,就要在机芯上下足功夫。机芯的采购不是完整毛芯(ETA生产完整机芯),而是以部件分开采购,自己组装,修饰,调整。
再来,一只錶的价格还有其他关键部分组成。錶壳,錶盘,錶镜,镀金与否,还有不能忘记的品牌推销成本。。。这些林林总总都有推高或者降低一只錶的市价。
相比之下,虽然梅花的錶在近期价格高了,但是与 美都,乐都,浪琴,这些老牌对比。。。

2000块钱绝对买不到这样的配置。​

5 to 6k.. for new movement 6 to 7k.. i would advice u to get the new 42mm orange hand one. And if u going to RSC for authentication .. pls go in the early morning and request for watch same day.

Thanks for your reply. I guess what u mean by "newer movement" is the 216570 42mm ? Cause I realised the older 16570 got use the 3185 and later batch 3186 movement. So trying to see of the later batch of 16570 is worth buying anot.
