darra Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Hope they last longer than the gold watches you won in the development fund draw back in the day. Mine fell apart after a couple of years literally fell apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilles De Bilde Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I placed an order for one on Saturday morning and then got a phone call on Wednesday to say that my order had not went through and that I wont be getting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Again a missed opportunity I get the 150 thing and £150 but it doesn't really bring much revenue in. Sekonda are decent every day watches but aren't really going to appreciate in value. At a run of 150 there was always going to be plenty of takers and more so for a reasonably modest (in the circumstances) cost of £150. If the run was 1500 or 1863 they would probably still sell with Christmas coming up and that would've put over £200/250k extra revenue in the pot. Pretty sure that with an appropriate mid-range manufacturer they could have done the 150 limited edition for £1,500 or £1,863 a pop and still sold them which is another > £225/£275k Many different options. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not make it a run of 1857 ? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl-zat Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I looked at buying one but when I saw the exact same watch selling for £90 so couldn't justify paying over 50% extra mark up just because it has the SWFC logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this. I said this to my mrs when she asked if I wanted one. I wear a Tag day to day and as nice as a Sekonda might be, it's never going to be worth more than the £150 I'd pay the club for it. And would I swap my Tag for wearing it everyday? Nope. Had they gone with a £1500 range I'd have been way more likely to dive in. And 150 at £150 is utterly pointless. Just not bothered...

coopswfc76 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Well I've ordered one for young un as a Xmas present but at £1500 not a cat in hells chance he would have been getting one. Personally think they look OK, Not sure when he will wear it as his other watch was £400 but he wanted one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s great, I didn’t say anything about performance though, I just responded to the OP’s comment about it potentially increasing in value which it will not.
