Ebel watches - what's the expert opinion?
Discussion
I was looking at Dominic's website to see if he had anything of interest, and I noticed the two lady's Ebel watches which looked nice and which offered a substantial saving on RRP.
I was tempted to buy one for my sister for her birthday, later in the year.
I'm not buying it as an investment, so resale value isn't a consideration, but is there anything I should be aware of?
Thanks.

They’re a nice brand, part of LVMH and broadly similar to Tag Heuer in movement quality with well finished case/bracelets.
Poor resale values, but expected if you’re purchasing expensive quartz watches and if it’s not an issue for you then otherwise I’d rate them highly.
Late 90’s/early 00’s I was a brand ambassador. They got me very, very drunk on a few occasions.

Thanks - Dom is selling at 50% of RRP, so from that point of view it seems good value.Poor resale values, but expected if you’re purchasing expensive quartz watches and if it’s not an issue for you then otherwise I’d rate them highly.

Haven’t been part of LVMH for quite some time – part of MGI Luxury Group which includes Movado, Concord, and licenced fashion/designer brands like Ferrari, Lacoste, Boss, Hilfiger. Recently acquired British fashion brand Olivia Burton.Poor resale values, but expected if you’re purchasing expensive quartz watches and if it’s not an issue for you then otherwise I’d rate them highly.

A much overlooked brand however, spares like bracelet links, etc, can still be quite pricy.

I'm afraid it was sent straight to my sister (she's very pleased!), but pics are here:https://www.hackettwatches.com/watch/50-off-new-di...
