Hi Guys,
Here I'm again with a delima in my life :(
I'm not able to decide between 2 short listed watches and would like to get your opinion based on
1. Brand Value,
2. Looks/Style
3. Resale
Should i go with
1. Bell & Ross 03-96 Grande Date
or
2. Corum Admiral Legend 42
Just love the look and feel of both watches and their unique design but some how can't nail which one to go for. (Unfortunately can only buy 1)
-
I would go for BR. It's more recognizable I guess
-
From a brand value and Resale criteria, it would be the Bell and Ross. For looks/style, i guess it is up to individual's taste. For me given both choices, I would buy Bell and Ross but maybe a BR 03-92 instead.

Thanks but why 03-92? Why not 93-96?

For the 3 criterion, all will point to B&R.
But personally I choose my watch base on personal preference. By looking at both watches here, I will go for Corum. I like the colorful dial.
-
definitely Corum any time over Bell & Ross.
Never mind the resale, Corum is in the same league as most of the high end watches.

Well now I'm confused. Some are saying Corum is lower than B&R as brand value you saying it's a higher end watch.

It's easy to find out.Check out the number of high end watches that Corum produces vs those from Bell&Ross.Compare the cheapest price auto Corum vs Bell&Ross.

For resale purposes. The 03-92 are the hottest.

In terms of price and brand standing, there is no doubt that Corum is of a higher end. However, Corum does not seem to be getting the recognition from the buyers who would gravitate more towards Bell and Ross.
-
Adding my personal opinion here,
Note that I dont own any watch from any of the 2 brands.
1. Brand Value,
Corum - Based on my perception, Corum does feel more premium than B&R
2. Looks/Style
Corum - As both are unique in design, I would vote for Corum here as they are Rarer to sight and the colorful flags made it good for both formal and casual.
3. Resale
B&R of course..
Regards,
Dex
-
Corum gets my vote, I perceives the impression of the brand is kinda noble and the design is quite diversify.
-
Go for the Corum. Looks cool. If you want to be different than the rest, this is something definitely rare in this part of the world.
-
Thanks Everyone for your suggestions and views. Looks like Corum has its way will update you with my purchase soon

I'd say B&R any day as objective as I can try to be (being a B&R fan its hard).
But what I feel you should get is not based on other people's opinion. Try all the watches on your wrist, which sings to you the most (most attractive to you), go for it. Not about branding or history whatsoever. Cause you'll be the one staring at it everyday when you're out with it.
-
1. Brand value
Brand value it's different from one place to another.
In Malaysia, B&R is definitely stronger
2. Look / style
B&R is younger, trendy and cool
Military & instrument inspire...
this is also the reason why the brand going strong! Design design design !
3. Resale
It's actually depend on model
Comparing the 2 Models u considering then BR for sure
* brand value positioning, corum is till slightly higher with plenty of good watches!

If to choose between these two.
Then I will vote for B&R more sporty.
-
Sorry to revive this zombie thread :laugh:
I will go for Corum :thumbsup:
-
Depends on ur daily activity
B&R is for casual wear
While corum reminds me of its golden bridge.. haute horologie hmm..
-
I ended up buying BnR actually 3 of them

Hi there,
I would definitely go for the Corum too. Maybe coz I own an Admirals Cup 44 Black And White so I am a bit biased hehehe. But the Corum’s build quality is second to none I can tell you that much. And also it is less recognisable hence giving it a more incognito feeling. Just my opinion. Happy shopping.

Corum all the way :laugh:

Hi guys, this is my first post as member so bear with me! AFAIK, the Corum brand is under a bit of a distressed situation. It was bought over by a China watch group called Citychamp several years ago, but these guys have not succeeded in bringing fresh buyers. They apparently also had problems retaining key staff (including CEO) to stay on. The story is not over yet, whether Citychamp will sell this brand is not known yet.
-
I would go for BR
-
Corum gets my vote.
-
i'd go for BR, imo its just more stylish and current. love their new diver's watch
-
Bell and Ross. The brand has quite a large following, reselling shouldn't be hard. As for brand value and looks, these are quite subjective, but I think BR is more recognisable and stylish.
-
both are my favourite
-
I would go for the Corum if its going to be in my stable for a long time but if you intend to flip the watch within a year, then BR would be a better choice. BR has a stronger following and resale market.
-
Definitely Corum first Loh.. Corum horology level, age of history, craftsmanship, built quality is different from bell & Ross ! But I love bell & Ross too for such a young brand that is doing very successful in luxury Swiss watch brand :Cheers:
-
Vote For BR !!
BR 03 - 92!!
-
corum anytime. I thk bell and ross is just fashion
