I agree about the direction prices are headed, mostly downward for all brands and I don't really care if Invicta creates a new 'Reserve' line. That is up to them. I am concerned when a certain brand, whether it be Invicta or somebody else, loses value so quickly. This is a problem for me as I do feel I need to consider which brands are retaining value and which are not. This also affects whether or not I want to buy 'early on' or wait until the model 'settles in' in respect to a fair market value. It seems some mid-range brands are retaining their value better. It would be very interesting if somebody pulled together a comparison of brand value over the last year or two. I think it would tell us a lot about several brands and their ability to retain value and whether we as buyers should rush into a purchase or be more patient when buying.

Interesting, very interesting......

I agree with you James, the $99 Reserve is coming! As far a s having another exclusive line, as long as it's offered on Shop, it won;t remain exclusive. The Shop is all about volume. I'm not gonna sit here and complain about getting some of my Reserves for ridiculous bottom line pricing. I just understand now that what I'm getting is NOT exclusive nor is it high end and I'm cool with that. When I finally decide to shell out the iron for high end it won't be from the "I". Nothing wrong with having a little diversity in the collection.

I agree with Tuna 100%. I've said it before the 'exclusive' Invictas are no big deal for me. If I want high end pieces I know were to get them and it is not with Invicta (or Croton, Swiss Legend, Android, Renato, etc.). I own Invicta and as I stated in other threads I am moving away from them. But not because of the reserve line status, I just think there are many brands that sell watches that I can love and that these same watches can retain more of their value.
