Need help with some stats! Looking to make a few custom watches, How much would you pay for a Automatic watch with an UAE-inspired dial?
Me and one of my friend are working on a small, limited-run watch project and I'm trying to figure out what people would actually be willing to pay.
The idea is a custom watch with an UAE-inspired dial, rather than the usual English/Roman numeral layout. I'm thinking of keeping it as a small limited run rather than mass-producing hundreds of pieces.
For reference, it would be a proper mechanical watch with an NH35 Seiko movement, custom 28.5mm dial, and a stainless-steel case.
If you saw a watch like this, what price would feel reasonable to you?
- Under AED 275
- AED 275–370
- AED 370–550
- AED 550–735
- AED 1000+
And what would make you feel that it was worth that price?
I'm genuinely looking for honest opinions — even if you wouldn't personally buy it. I'm trying to understand the market before committing to production.
if people are willing to genuinely purchase this watch id be looking forward to bring the same exact thing into production!
