Ok who knows about fine watches?

Amber Lamps · 11-28-2008, 04:06 AM

I have a couple of Movados but I ran into this deal and I'm seriously considering it. The price is $787 shipped! I'm vaguely familiar with Richard and Co,plus if you check out the gem list,it looks like a great buy. What do ya'll think?

For the record,I've already purchased this T.L. watch from these guys for $150. Along with helmets,I also collect watches....

Removable jewel bezel? If that didn't tip you off, the quartz movement should have..........GAAAHHHBAGE!

Seriously. That watch is crap. Save your money.

Umm...I'm not one of those guys who ask for advice and argue but I have to ask. Both of my Movados are quartz movement and both Tag and Rolex use quartz movement. I don't understand why this automatically makes this watch garbage. In fact,all of my current watches use quartz movement... I am honestly asking a question but what other kind of movement is there?

I used to have a thing for watches. Nice citizen d it never need a battery and is water proof up to 200m as apposed to yours at only 30 tig. it looks nice but may be a hustle

If your gonna spend seven hundred go to the mall/watch store and you can see the quality in person.

Casio G-Shock Solar Atomic.

Durable, never needs a battery, never needs winding, and never needs setting. $75 to replace it.

That's how I like my watches. Simple, durable, and maintenance free.

I've been eyeing a Movado for awhile now. Too bad I am a broke student now

Riceaholic · 11-28-2008, 12:17 PM

Rolex is a perpetual movement. Movado's are a battery powered quartz because they're so thin. The build quality is also way higher than the watch you pictured.

I'd just be wary of any battery powered watch with a retail price of almost eight grand knocked down to seven fifty...

I have a Chase Durer chonograph that's battery powered that cost about that much, but it's a much higher quality watch. I also have a Formex Chrono that I wear every day that was about 500 that's been awesome for years.

All i'm saying is that you can get a lot more for your 750...

I have a Movado, 2 Seikos, a Bulova Caravelle, a Citizen and a Wittnauer Laureate. Of all of them, I like my Wittnauer the best.
