[QUOTE="LadyElect, post: 8642249, member: 7031965"] Is there not? There are certainly both pros and cons that come with having an already established brand and public opinion, but having an existing recognizability helps to draw more attention for whatever opinions may then form over its resurgence. It’s certainly a benefit over a brand starting from 0. No such thing as bad press and all that jazz. And I don’t want to derail off into every analogue that may get presented here so I’ll try to extrapolate out the necessary generalities off this: First you have to present what those objective measures are for any X thing (timepiece or not). And then you have to approach the question: Is the benefit of this existing objective measurement still subject to opinion? Because no matter how far you need to drill down to hit the subjective analysis of a measurement, it trumps merely having that measurement for all purposes of determining an individuals perception of “quality”. Quartz vs automatic, case and band materials, cost vs longevity, etc. It’s reductionist to try and limit your lanes of comparison for any object’s quality because someone will inevitably call another measurement into question, and that one may be the one that more importantly confers quality to them instead.
