Thanks.. It is a German brand but made in Switzerland, not sure why they do that really....
I am considering a "proper" German made watch at some point as I'm really liking the Junghans Max Bill range.. I put proper in inverted commas as even Junghans have started using swiss movements
What do we think of the theme watches. e.g. Bond Omega's, Bentley Breitling, Panerai Ferrari etc.
I've been told that they wont be as desirable in the future as the standard versions.
Quite like the look of the new Omega Aqua Terra Spectre

All depends on how many they make to be honest. Some are just churned out where as the new Bond watch is limited. Some brands and styles hold value better than others.
Unless it's a really limited piece, like that JLC its number 19 of 62 then it will hold some value but probably won't make you any more than you bought it for.
We also have a rare Paneria 40mm with a Zenith movement. It was thought to have never exsisted although there was a few floating about because they couldn't get enough movements and so the run couldn't be completed. Things like that command money. We were just glad the shop we purchased it from didn't realise which one it was a sold it for a quater of its actual value in the current market.
If you want to buy to invest then looking 2nd hand, some aren't even worn is the best bet. Looking at Pawn shops is another great place, they want to recoupe their costs and a wee bit of profit so can sell watches under market value. We've purchased a few this way and all have been at least a third of the price in the market at that time. The fact they managed to source vintage Rolex sports watches from the 70s and we picked them up for less than trade was a result.
If it's rarity or exclusivity your after you need one of theses http://www.dornbluethblog.com/Watches/04.0_%28RG%29.html.
Highly unlikely you'll ever see one, & very desirable on the watch market.

How many times are you going to post that link?
[/quotAds many time as feel like it
Tag 4000 i bought when my son was born 23 years ago with the idea of giving it him at 21 but he's not interested so it's my work watch & has taken some hammer
Then i treat myself & mrs w when we were 40 (7 yrs ago )
Breitling Aerospace for me & Colt Oceane for her
& whilst my ultimate prize was a Milgauss ive recently had my eye swayed by a Oris Aquis that should be coming down the chimney on the 25th
Can't decide on the plain black or with the orange markers

Just found this thread and the picture i've uploaded isn't my exact watch but a picture off the internet. It is however, exactly the same.
I love the watch as it has been passed through my dad'suncle, my grandad and my dad. The stories attached to it are amazing both as a story but also in sentiment. It's locked away at home, i'm at work (hence no photo) but can post a picture of the actual watch if anyone wants a close up.
It's solid silver, rare and i'm honestly not sure what it's worth. Would never sell it anyway. Some of you watch guru's will have an idea I would imagine?

really like them - at first i found the C60 bit clunky in comparison to my Seamaster 300 - but i know love the way it looks and its the watch i wear the most when I'm away with work.
I wore the C700 across europe this summer ( seemed fitting for a eurocar museum trip) and have changed the strap to the new bader strap which is really comfortable and has moved the watch up a notch.
The customer service is outstanding - if you get a chance well worth booking an appointment to see them at their showroom in the southeast usually an hour well spent.
The forum for them is one of the friendliest forums on the web and is very similar to here - Ive learnt quite a bit about watchmaking from it .
How are you finding yours ?
