Watches - another OCD problem
-
Half price seems a bit to good to be true. Unless it's a Omega authorised dealer. The grey side is not as popular as the original darkside so you can get a better deal on it. Watches bought outside the EU are not VAT paid so this accounts for 20% of the saving. Getting another 20% discount is not unheard of!
Me personally I would rather pay a bit more and have the peace of mind knowing it can be returned to the dealer if there's an issue.
The best way to buy is on your credit card, not debit card. That way if you have an issue the card company is jointly responsible with the retailer for the product.
The more expensive the product generally the more back up you need.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hey guys, I haven't been following the thread but I was wondering if anyone tried one of those Daluca Cordovan Nato straps? They look pretty nice. Im in the market for a new watch and am not looking to spend a ton. I was thinking,

I think the Cream face on that Seiko would look sweet with the brandy color Horween shell strap.

For anyone interested it would appear the size of the discount in India was overstated to me. I went to an authorised dealer (for a variety of brands). They didn't have Grey Side of the Moon but did try to sell me a Panerai Luminor Marina 44 automatic for £4000. Their list price was £4700. So from what I can see with a quick Google search the prices are no better than Heathrow prices.

I used to have one but mine was the first gen and extremely thick. It was very handy though and was good looking.

Lol looking back at it makes me miss owning one.

Temp, specifics on those boots? I love em….
-
@mikesantor The boots look like the WESCO Foot Patrol in Burgundy Domain leather. The boots are very nice but the Double Red SD is the star of that show! Nice one!! @Tempvs

Yep. Standard burgundy Foot Patrol….

Thank you, gentleman.

Chopard have launched a new brand, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud, which takes its name from a pioneer of maritime chronometers. Their first piece is a limited edition, the Chronomètre FB-1, which is a tourbillion in a rather funky octagonal case.
There's an interview with Karl-Friedrich Scheufele at Revo, which discusses the watch further.
I like the design, but my tastes aren't really typical. However, I'm not convinced by the use of a tourbillion, which was developed for pocket watches, in a piece that's drawing inspiration from marine chronometers. L. Leroy are another brand with a similar, tenuous connection to chronometry, and they're actually focused on accuracy as a way of promoting their alleged heritage.
