Mazz 62 Posted January 19, 2013 I think Seiko don't really need any marketing tips. I think they do quite well. Also the now discontinued Perpetual Calander diver commands a fair premium Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mazz 62 Posted January 19, 2013 Grand Seiko is mostly a JDM product they aren't really marketed in the west. Most are marketed and designed for the Japanese market Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wat44 0 Posted January 19, 2013 I think they need a HUGE lesson. They don't even register on brand lists. Hermes, LV, Rolex, etc kick their butts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted January 19, 2013 Recently planning to buy a grand seiko gmt, I believe it ll hold value. Yes it will. Bought the attached (picture included) Seiko divers watch back in 1994 and it cost me a fortune then new costing £250. Its a Seiko 200 divers CAL 7N36 7AOB with the pepsi bezel. Absolutely fantastic watch, superbly reliable only needed a new battery 4 time since I bought it. What really annoys me though is the watches depreciation in value, I doubt Id get more than £80 quid now. SEIKO for the money are in my opinion the best watches out there. Cant understand why more people dont collect them. Well for starters it's quartz. Because they are not viewed as a luxury item and produced in greater numbers???? Think Patek, Rolex if you want watches that appreciate... even that you have to purchase "correctly" to see any returns The majority of Rolex do not appreciate, anyone buying a new Rolex in the hope it's an investment is a fool. The reason is very simple - it's japanese brand, not swiss, and you'll never impress anyone with Seiko. Sad, but a fact. Except for Grand Seiko or Credor of cause Wat, mate you just don't get it do you? GS were never supposed to be sold out side of Japan, the Seiko name is well respected in Japan so why would they use anything else? Yeah I know, you know better than the bosses of a multi million dollar multinational company, right? I think yo will also find that a lot of people have far more respect for the brand than you do.

You are looking at this wrong, you don't need to position yourself at the top of the tree to make money. In fact, I bet Seiko made more last year than a lot of the firms on your list.

wat44 0 Posted January 19, 2013 And it's silly to say I'm saying I know more about branding than seiko. I said the brand management companies know more about brands than seiko do. Japanese companies in general aren't very good at it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
