Watches as a lawyer Forum

[stabiloboss]

yepp around $1100...if you find a good authorized dealer and butter him up...close to a grand...

[Borg]

All you watch people who really know your stuff, I'm thinking about getting my wife a TAG Aquaracer as a graduation gift. Retail is about $1700, what can I reasonably expect to pick it up for?

i don't know what area you are in but the dealer i go to for my watches usually sells watches for 30% less than msrp. I got a uboat classico which retails for 2600 for 17 hundred and change before taxes. I also got my bell and ross which retails for 4100 for 3300 before taxes. from what i have experienced most dealers will work with you on a price.

Can you say who your dealer is? I'm in the market and I'm trying to figure out where to go, sounds pretty good.

I'm in Dallas, so I've got tons of jewelry stores around. I just wanted to know what a reasonable target is. $1100 seems fair.

For ladies here:

the classic Longines


I own one for many years and it is classic, durable and versatile, and goes with most things

now when I see Longines, I think Modern Family. It makes me laugh

[Doorkeeper]

I wear a Men's Longines. It's great.

Also, what was the Modern Family joke? I don't remember it.

I'm kind of in love with this watch. And at $250 it's just within my modest undergrad budget.

[stabiloboss]

not really sure if LV make good watches, it's more of a designer brand isn't it?

same price buys a nice Breitling...

Not credited until you find out who actually makes the watch?

It's probably Movado or some other TTT company.

I think it's incredibly unprofessional not to wear a watch. I always have for some reason, possibly because you look like a 14 yr old girl (what I imagine) whipping out your phone to check the time. As it so happens, the attorney who interviewed me at the firm im working at asked me the time diring the interview, since his watch battery had died. I was glad I wore a watch (totally a chance happening, but all the same).

You don't have to wear something super expensive for it to look nice. I'm a big fan of Burberry for being Swiss made and in a decent price range.

Echoing what someone said about Timexes earlier- I've seen way more grosgrain-strapped Timexes (non-digital, of course) on execs than some of these luxury ones. A bit of good old reverse-snobbery.

That said, the Cartier Tank makes a good showing too.

Not only is it fashionable, but you can keep track of your SRS BSNS appts.

Who the fuck would pay 12K for that POS
Buy watches from quality watch makers, not fashion houses

....You guys do realize that LV owns some of the major "quality watch makers" (ie. Tag Huer, Hublot, Bulgari, Zenith, Chaumet, even Marc Jacobs) How does buying from one of their subsidiaries somehow justify a purchase more than buying directly through them? I stand by my initial conclusion. That watch is dope.

[smittytron3k]

fwiw, i bought a tag aquaracer on ebay for 550 and couldn't be happier with it.

That's a good price for one. Tags at full price are a mistake.

[kalvano]

None of the authorized dealers for TAG here seem willing to get close to a grand. Any reason I shouldn't buy one on Amazon, if it's sold by Amazon and not some random store?

[GertieTheDinosaur]

Brolex or GTFO

Not that I'm aware of. Theyre an authorized reseller.

Not for TAG. But they offer a 2-year Amazon warranty. I've never had a bad experience with Amazon, but I've never bought anything like this from them before, either.

Huh. My mistake.

[reformed calvinist]

Get a decent automatic. Japanese movement watches are great and inexpensive-Seiko, Orient. If you have an heirloom watch, that's great, but avoid wearing an IWC lest you look like a douche

[Systematic1]

dig it. little steep at $2100 though.

Fantastic bump!

Also, all the "major quality watch makers" you listed are also SPS.

Unless you're trolling, in which case, not bad.

My favorite part is Marc Jacobs on this list.
