Formex watches - worth repping?

[Importr]

Some of you are familiar with this Swiss brand; to be honest, I wasn't.

I had a look at their website http://www.formexwatch.com/ and I kinda liked a few of them. Now if you don't like Utility watches or Chrono's, then
this is not for you. There are some models similar to B&R and others which are just ugly.

What appealed to me is the HPG line: they seem to be using a Valjoux 7750 movement. In particular, the Grand Prix model (top left); I love the position of the chrono pushers. Also the full stainless Fast Track Skeleton model (bottom right) - cool!

They look easy enough to rep... what do you think?

My friend introduced this brand to me a few years ago. The watch is pretty comfortable to wear but I don't think the gen holds its value well. You can have it for under 1k The retail price is much higher but in reality, this is a luxury watch wannabe brand.

Forgot to write about this on GUG list. The quality is not bad actually.

Worth repping? I don't think so at the moment due to gen price, brand recognition and low demand.

Its good to know that they can be bought gen and cheap; but as you say - I'm not sure if I would splurge full Retail on the gen - badge snobbery and all that.

Had a look on the Bay - just the other models being sold at the moment.

Hmmm....

>EDIT< i just saw a new Fast Track price = around £2500 GBP!!! Jeeeeezzz :shock: :roll:

Someone on this board... I can't remember who sold this watch for like 500 bucks? It's a limited edition model furthermore.
