[Mido] Am I mistaken or is Mido offering a lot of bang for the buck? (alien.top)

Don’t get me wrong Mido is in no way „cheap“. But I feel like at Mido you can get a lot for your money. The Divers really look good and it’s quite easy to negotiate them down in prices. Are they somehow out of fashion? Is something going on with the brand I don’t know about? And most importantly: If you own one how do you like it?

Longines, Mido, and etc are what luxury Swiss watches are supposed to cost. The cost is already dumb but to go beyond just proves what a bunch of men’s jewelry enthusiasts we all are. Why? Let’s face it. Few of us are actually taking apart, cleaning, and maintaining our watches let alone other watches for fun. We’re not hobbyists. We’re a Prada like sub about collecting watches.

Mido is dope. Great bang for buck. Buy it.

Idk it's fair to put a price for "what stuff shoukd cost" but you are dead right we are just a hype beast hobby

I could not agree more. An Ocean Star is on my list !

I mean yeah in the end the hand engraving of some brands and nicer finishing of the case and movement and dial if you’re lucky, doesn’t really warrant a 35k cost…..

I dig your description of us. Gets better with each reread :D

Pardon me, but some of us don't WANT the truth. Sometimes the truth is SCARY and maybe we don't wanna hear it! Thank you.
