Hi all,

I'm a newbie to appreciating watches. I used to think these branded watches are far beyond my grabs until recently. I've been so-called 'poisoned' recently (about few weeks back) by a group of watch hobbyists. Since then have been scouting around for watches of brands such as IWC, TAGHeuer, Omega, ROLEX, Fortis, Sinn, BALL, etc...................

I'm now starting to realise that these watches are REALLY EXPENSIVE! Omg!! I am really new and lost in the world of precious time pieces. I hope someone here can help me to understand in more laymen terms. Eg. how do I compare brands in order of reputation, ie. which brand comes first; Patek Ppe-Jaeger LC-IWC-... And where does ROLEX stand in the world of WATCHES? It will be better if you can make the comparison against car brands, which I am better attune to. For example, ROLEX=Merc? Patek=Ferrari? TAGH=Lexus?

Sorry if I sounded stupid but I was glad I found a forum like this to communicate with.

Thanks !
