Also, how does that Christopher Ward compare to this one?

The link you posted says you can pre-order for Late December.

I just got this one for Christmas (To: XpressAg09, From: XpressAg09) and I'm a big fan of Chr. Ward.

Post a pic of one you want, then let everyone tell you why you are wrong and what you should get instead

I'm sure. But I've always wanted one since I was a kid. It's a classic and a good addition to the collection.

It does. It does.

It also wants more significant pieces, but those can wait.

Just giving you a hard time. Easily an all time classic and no collection could go wrong with one.

The thread hasn't been about local watches in 30 pages. Chill out.

Just pulled the trigger! Used one of the referrals on the first page of this thread and got 21% off a new one.

Assuming you used David or Thanh from page 1? Do either of these guys have a showroom where you can go check out all of their inventory in person?

I used Thanh. Bought a new watch, so he just sourced a brand new one from an Authorized Dealer in sort of a broker arrangement.

Both he and Davidsw have good pictures online, but don't think they have showrooms.

Thanh is in Houston and San Antonio so he'll do a deal in person so you can see the item before buying if you are buying used and live in those places.

So those guys have prices on their respective websites. Are those the final prices or did you get the 20% discount off of those?

I guess this was more my question as well. The prices I see are close to what I see at Jomas Shop and other places.

Mine wasn't on his site. He went and found a new one for me. But I believe there is probably some wiggle room on his pre-owned models. The popular ones go really quickly, however, so YMMV.

I would doubt you're getting manufacturers warranties on most of those guys watches either.

That's typically the trade-off. It's not a huge deal to me because the odds of having an issue in the first 2 years are pretty slim anyway. Sites like Jomashop warranty their watches themselves and have a decent reputation as far as service quality. Never had to use them for that though.

Jomas offers their own warranty. One of the benefits to buying high end watches are that the quality is outstanding.

My watch came directly from an AD with my name on the Rolex warranty card.
