If you see a watch, what features would be indicative of an above average quality watch*? :001_unsure: Without checking the brand name which obviously has a bias effect on perception.
* my definition being a modern watch you would expect to retail for >$1500/£1000 based on quality regardless of brand premium. I know that's not all that expensive by WIS standards, but it's an expensive amount to spend on a watch by normal person standards and should reflect an above average quality for the money.
I am thinking maybe including the following?...:confused1:
Sapphire crystal
Applied indices
Case contours & curves
Mixture of polished & satin/brushed finishes
Precious metal
Blued hands (heat blued, not painted)
Exhibition back revealing a decorated movement
Or a nice relief engraved caseback
