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)

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?

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.

Never mind the resale, Corum is in the same league as most of the high end watches.
Post by: rmunawar9 on June 27, 2017, 09:40:40 AM
definitely Corum any time over Bell & Ross.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.

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

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.

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!

Then I will vote for B&R more sporty.
Post by: Cocas on August 09, 2018, 03:09:45 PM
I will go for Corum :thumbsup:
Post by: Darkholer on August 09, 2018, 04:01:09 PM
B&R is for casual wear
While corum reminds me of its golden bridge.. haute horologie hmm..

Never mind the resale, Corum is in the same league as most of the high end watches.
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.
