have you heard of these

[COLCERB]

hi guys, im looking for a nice watch, something a little flashy but not in your face, i know very little about watches but just want one that looks good, i have come accross a Belmar Geneve, can anyone give me any feed back on these watches, they do look the part

[tertius]

Assuming you mean these: http://www.belmargeneve.com/default.aspx ?

Honestly they aren't to my taste at all. And the distinct lack of information on that website does not fill me with confidence that they are good value.

I'd look elsewhere for that money.

Compare that website with something like : http://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/ or http://www.girard-perregaux.com/index_fr.aspx

Edited to add the pics are very poor and the website doesn't actually work ... try the "next" and "back" buttons ...

IMHO, they're flashy, cheap-looking and expensive - at that sort of price level, you could do a lot better.

that website looks soooo shonky. No info at all on £2k+ watches apart from the fact they have 'genuine swiss movements'

I guess we all have different tastes. These are certainly not my thing at all.

[eccles]

Taste matters aside, that website looks very dodgy, no contact details, no details of the watches.....Hmmm, i'd definately stay away.

Absolute junk, they look like the sort of crap sold by 'looky-looky' men on the beach on the Costa del Sol.
If you are looking for a nice watch, have a look at a decent jeweller or watch specialist not some vague $2 website.....

For your budget, you could get yourself a beautiful watch. If you consider a previously owned watch then you open yourself to some stunning pieces. There are so many manufacturers to choose from, you should have a lot of enjoyment selecting your piece.

It's nicer than the watches though

[lowdrag]

£2.5K per watch; £2.4K for the bling and diamonds, £100 for the rest IMHO. Get a Rolex, Omega or IWC and have something to treasure.

[StevieGee]

If I had £2.5k to spend on a watch I would probably buy the Oris Big Crown Complication for those few and far between bling days.



and then spend whats remaining on a Sinn 956 Klassic.
