Which wrist watch company???

[smonroe86]

So the question that I am trying to find the answer to is:

Which Wrist Watch company came out and wasn't selling because people
thought of it as a generic product, so the company upped the price and
it sold big time?

Swatch Watch? - definitely generic looking and only expensive in terms of the quality (or lack there of) and at the time around $30 was a mark-up back in the 80's.

LOL - you beat me to it!

just to make sure you understand

Say ROLEX first came out and people said yea $20 for that crap ok I am not buying it so the company suffered from no sells, So ROLEX got smart and said ok we will up the price to $400 then people changed their mind about the product.

I was just using Rolex for an example!

I still have one of the original clear plastic swatch watches from the early eighties. Wonder if it's a collectors item yet.

I sure don't. Usually buy a watch with a good movement.

Mikki bought me a Fossil recently for my birthday. Great looking watch and super large dial. Not sure of the movement.

I'll go with Swatch or Fossil as my answer.

Those are all super nice watches. The B&M doesn't ring a bell however.

Breitling? Would love one myself. On sale for $6934.00.
