While browsing through one of my favourite watch stores today ... 1. Guy in his mid 40s purchases a two-tone Rolex Submariner for $7,500. As he's handing the salesman his credit card he asks "what's this called?" (while pointing at the bezel of the Sub). The salesman - trying not to laugh - answers that it's the uni-directional bezel. "Oh yeah?" the buyer says ... "What does it do?"  2. I tried on the Chopard Turismo XL and loved it! Attachment: chopard.jpg (Downloaded 84 times) |

Amazing - spend that much money on something he didn't even know how it works. Tried the Chopard on? You didnt indicate if you ever took it back off... :shock: Did it follow you home? |

Sounds like a blast!! Dude didn't know what the bezel was?? And paid full price? My hero!! I was just looking at one of these a few weeks back. Except my AD had it on a nice double padded leather strap. Really a beautiful and sporty watch with great wrist presence. I don't know a damn thing about the ETA in it. Its the Base ETA Caliber A07.161 (24 jewels, 28,800 vph, 16½ lignes) with COSC certification. It certainly was beautiful to look at... What was your AD asking? If you don't mind my asking... |

My 25th birthday is in a few months - what a nice present that would be! :p But, no - the Turismo is still at the store. They were asking retail, minus 20%. The total worked out to somewhere around $5,600 (CAD). They sell on ebay (minus the power reserve) for about $3,000 (US) though. |

If you don't mind my asking... My AD was right around the same... retail minus possibly 25%. I reaaly liked the power reserve with it "F" and "E" like a fuel gauge. |
