H. Moser
I was thinking about picking up an Endeavour Centre Seconds. I’m wondering if anyone has any thoughts or, hopefully, some experience with owning a Moser.
I know about the hit Mosers typically take in the secondary market, but I plan on holding for the long term.

It's hard to find reviews/first-hand knowledge from people having a Moser for over a couple of years. Basically, I'm looking for a birth-year watch for my son (to be born this October). So this will be held onto for a while and passed down to him when he gets older (so longevity is needed). It is great to know that there are alot of people out there that respect the brand though.

I had the same idea for a birth watch for my daughter, unfortunately my wife talked me out of it and I really wish I had done it! For the fact you are planning to do it with such a technically brilliant and beautiful watch rather than the typical (as I was planning to) makes it even more special! Even better to have the warranty in his name! I wish you all the best and great idea! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I was originally thinking of going with a Rolex (GMT or sub), because of the value retention and the timeless style. But the more I thought about it, the more I would rather something a bit unique. Having the warranty in his name is an awesome idea! I also want to have it dated the day he is born as well. Hopefully it all works out. Much appreciated!

If I had a boy, a gmt or sub would have been the choice! (Seems we were pretty close on this) If you can get a BLNR or LV (as they are original issues) that would be awesome also the new everose TT could be a possibility? But the moser is really special! If you are thinking about a Rolex, it may be worth popping into a few AD’s (if you don’t have a relationship with one) and stating what it’s for. It seems the SS models do turn up even when you are quoted 12 or more months (I made a comment I would like a BLNR and got a text the next day! It’s also made me a happy and loyal customer so always speak to them before buying anything) I’m thinking of getting a chocolate everose Daytona and back dating the warranty card for my daughter now!

Moser makes very nice, well made and high quality, watches. They are one of the few watchmakers that actually made the hairspring in house, as well as it's own case and movement. Their fume dials are also very well regarded.
I own one before but regretfully end up selling it as I can't find wrist time for it. Still miss it from time to time. Here's a pic :

Yes from AD. I think I got it at 30% off. But that's from an AD that I bought a lot of watches. Even so you should be able to negotiate for 20 to 25% off.

I love my Endeavour Small Seconds I've got in November. There is so many rights with this watch.
Here is how it looks when I got it. Click here to find out

Appreciate the responses guys! I'm glad there are some happy owners out there, gives me the confidence to go through with it in October.
Any idea on the discount I should ask for? I have a fairly good relationship with this AD and have purchased my Nomos Weltzeit from them in the past.

You are right, they don't hold value well, but they are beautiful watches. The case, dial and hands are really nice. The only reason I sold was to trim the collection a little. Sometimes I wish I still had it. If you are keeping it, then value retention doesn't really matter. "People" really like them, but for some reason they have not sold well.

My opinion on why they don’t sell as well is their lack of exposure to the general public. The typical watch buyer isn’t as well versed as the people on this forum. When you have $20k to spend on a watch, and horology isn’t a passion for you, you are not going to go for an unknown company. You are going to go with the usual suspects that have name recognition (Rolex, Patek, etc). It’s tough to break into that territory.

They are absolutely stunning watches and I would have bought one had the 5227r not come on the market. Moser is next on the list......
Patek quality at half price. Buy it and don't look back. |
