The second hand prices on Longine are terrible so try to pick up one nearly new.

Nice concept but I think it will date quite quickly.

I think the lawful and ethical thing to do is to break the promise and tell his wife but I’m not sure since he made me promise not to tell her.

Depends on where you are, the will and so on. It will form part of the estate and trying to keep and hide them could result being in a small space with big hairy men.

I have never seen a model whose bezel goes to 24 instead of 60.

You have never seen a GMT watch before?

Timex

Are you high? It's the opposite in the recent past.

but would like to buy something that keeps its value or even increases (is this even possible with watches in this price category?).

Virtually impossible and on the rare occasion that watches in this category do increase in value, nobody can predict in advance.

The rest of your questions don't really make any sense because they just treat watches as interchangeable pieces and what you collect is down to your personal interests and style - none of that information is present.

Jewelry - it's why I don't care about movements or history or anything like that.

Zenith has a big Chinese audience, so that is where they spend a lot of their marketing efforts and also in various places in Europe.

They aren't particularly interested in the US so they don't put effort there. You have to remember it's part of the LVHM stable of brands so think about it from that level - you pitch different brands to different markets.

Are they somehow out of fashion?

SWATCH concentrates its brands in different markets - Mido they put a lot of emphasis on in non-western markets which is why you often see little chat in English language forums.
