New Watch

I got a new watch on Tuesday, May 20th 2008. It’s a Concord Bennington watch. I’ve been longing to buy a high end watch for a while and finally I bought one 🙂 I started searching for a new watch way back in late Nov ’07. Concord has always been my first choice, however, I was thinking about buying a watch from a *BRAND* that is well known in India. (Typical Desi attitude, Ain’t it? ) So, I looked at Tag Heuer’s as well. The problem I faced with Tag’s is that Tag’s lower end (F1 line) watches are not dress watches and they look more sporty. Tag’s higher end (Carrera and Grand Carrera) make very good dress watches but obviously they are out of my budget. I tried a few Tag’s on me and for some reason I didn’t feel great. May be this has to do with the liking I’ve developed towards the Concords. After trying a few Tag’s, I went to a Movado showroom (I mean outlet showroom) and tried the one below. What I liked the most about this watch is that the white/creamish dial with blue hands. This watch is a little big for my wrist but I liked it so much that I couldn’t let it go off my hands in the showroom.  After spending some 30 minutes, I decided to go ahead with this watch and I bought it. Sure, I did spend a mini-fortune (this is relative of course;-) ) on this watch but I think I am sure going to enjoy this watch for a long time.
