Triumph branded watches, any thought or experiences?

I need a new, or old I suppose, watch.
I have the opportunity to purchase a new Triumph branded watch at a discount.
These are just over $600 AUD retail.
That’s more than I have ever spent on a watch, but if it’s good value I am tempted.
They look pretty good too.

Are they any good?

Watches in general are hugely profitable for manufacturer. I don't know

What I found was my Triumph watch came from a huge conglomerate that manufactures thousands of watches under as many names. If the watch says Swiss movement all that means is the movement was assembled somewhere with Swiss parts. The bottom line is watches are a shell game and non of them are really worth the cost. Still I have about 25.

Just buy a quality watch - not a cheap POS with a logo. Be quality conscious not brand driven.
I ride Triumph but wear Panerai by choice.

If you want a very good watch that's a decent deal look at INVICTA watches. I have several and one I wear daily to work and it takes o beating and is an automatic mechanical. No battery. These you can pick up for a little over $100.00 USD.

I'm looking at Panerai right now. Actually the new TFC might slow down the watch buying a bit. I was looking for a great deal on a used AP but that is out of the question for a while for sure. Which Pan are you wearing?
