When you buy a real watch brand, you are paying a lot for the name, but also a lot for the construction of the watch itself. When you buy a labeled watch, you are paying a lot for the name, and most likely there will just be a cheap watch inside.
Whether that matters or not is totally up to you. If you buy Gucci anything else, you are blowing money on nothing but brand anyway, so there's no real reason not to do it with watches.

This is starting to change. Ralph Lauren now has JLC movement in some of their watches and LV is making in-house movements now from what I read in my watch magazine.
