But I might not really be the targeted customer for the relaunched Universal Geneves, rumors are they will be starting in a 5-digit price range and that is unfortunately way out of my comfort zone. Seeing that one can hunt down vintage Polerouters, White Shadows, Compaxes, Ferrovie Stratos and many other amazing watches for a tiny fraction of these figures vintage is all the more appealing for me, and I am very sceptical that the relaunched models can match the vintage originals in style, beauty or charme. That has hardly ever been the case in the watch world IHMO.
IΒ΄m more concerned what the marketing around the relaunch of UG (there will be a huge marketing campaign behind the relaunch I assume) will do to the prices of vintage models. Maybe some models will skyrocket due to the new customer base that was not aware of the brand before, we will see.
I am now trying to scoop up as many interresting models in the next few months if possible. If they still remain accessible - no damage done - if the prices start to rise I have a nice collection of Universal Geneves by then.
