I do not buy (collect ?) based on a brand or function. I'm an impulse buyer that looks at a watch, decides if I like it and... go for it (or not)!

I had some bad experiences with watches that (IMHO) did not deserve the price and some other (similarly bad) experiences with watches I thaught I'll never afford - so didn't pursue the purchase - only to find out they were within my price league.

So, YES, posting the price would be decent and allow more people to make an educated acquisition.

Just my 002 USD.

This is not 100% accurate actually - Mille watches always have the price printed on the ad... Agree, luxury items rarely are advertised with a price but I think for some, it’s actually a good provocative element, which no doubts appeals to Mille and a few... 

True... but very rare...

Mostly, the price is an eye-catcher statement in itself if advertised. I'd say the strategy works well for a new boy/unknown for shock value.

true
