I saw a couple in my friends Jewelry store, and after i tried it on I thought this is pretty cool...

Anyone know CARL F. BUCHERER ?

lapince · 23 June 2016, 03:17 PM

Heard of them but never saw in real, they are nice but i prefer many others, if you like them go ahead but at a great discounts as it probably looses a ton on resale

Not bad looking...Whats the ball park costs?

LuminousMaximus · 3 August 2016, 01:36 PM

$7850 for rubber. $8900 for Rose/SS

slcbbrown · 5 August 2016, 12:51 AM

I like the watches, but that price puts them in some tough competition.

malarky_hk · 5 August 2016, 08:52 AM

Looks like another line up from Invicta.

ThomG · 5 August 2016, 01:58 PM

They were originally a distributor or importer I think. Are they a manufacturer, or do they have other companies make their watches?

Ok if you can get one @80- 90% off...

Don't pay anywhere near retail for this....

Ticknaway · 7 August 2016, 01:05 PM

Some good looking watches, but I'd imagine service isn't easy to obtain.

regnant · 7 August 2016, 04:14 PM

They make decent watches, I have not seen any in person though. Traveltech or something like this was what I was interested in though
I think better choice than equivalent Tag Heuer in this category

Psmith · 7 August 2016, 07:27 PM

I do like the SS Scubatec, but it's some way down the wish list. If the right deal came along would give it serious consideration.

For the 18K?? The SS lists for $6400 on rubber, that's a pretty small differential from SS-18K, normally it's a considerably larger price jump between the two.

Edit: the 18K does indeed go for a lot more, MSRP is ~$26K, but I'm guessing you posted that by accident and were thinking of the two tone you posted. But from what I see MSRP on the two tone on rubber you've got pictured is $9.8K, not $8.9K, and the two tone on bracelet you've got pictured has an MSRP of $11.8K (per Essential Watches' site). Preowned the SS/rubber goes for a bit under 50% of MSRP, something to keep in mind if you flip a lot.

brmeyers · 8 August 2016, 04:24 AM

Not sure about the color schemes and overall design.
Just doesn't really do it for me personally.
SubC TT is much nicer than the two tone here.
I would say keep looking.. Just my opinion.

jnkay · 26 January 2017, 12:28 PM

These are nice watches. Tried some on and was impressed.

unreformed66 · 27 January 2017, 10:29 AM

I've actually been to the Bucherer retail store in Lucerne about 1000 years ago..llo. Actually it was 1984. I was young and broke but I did buy a Unitas pocket watch with the Bucherer label on it while I was there. The Carl F. Bucherer watches are nice stuff, but I don't think they're worth the price.

RXAPPP · 27 January 2017, 12:56 PM

Yes I know him, i know his parents as well Mr and Mrs Bucherer.

Plenty in my part of Europe, too, though only in display windows. I've never seen one worn in real life, other than the owner of a local shop that started selling Bucherer after Omega dropped them — presumably to fill the gap in forgettable mid-range stuff.

Unfortunately, as much as I tend to like in-house independents, these watches just don't appeal at all.

scarlet knight · 28 January 2017, 12:25 AM

At that price point, I'd buy Rolex, Omega, JLC, IWC, Panerai, etc. Resale or trade in opportunities would be limited.

psv · 28 January 2017, 12:28 AM

Tastes are different, I don't like that design. At all.

slorollin · 28 January 2017, 02:22 AM

Cool watch......I'd like to borrow one.

rcasa20 · 22 June 2017, 10:57 AM

I've got the rose gold/ss and absolutely love it. I receive compliments all the time. I've got smaller wrists so the rubber bracelet conforms perfectly and the lugs don't stick way out. The timing is a bit fast but I'm the kind of guy who would rather be early than late so that works for me!
