Ladies Two-tone Omega Seamaster

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

We’ve blogged about the large watch trend many times over the last several months.  Female celebrities are frequently seen wearing 40mm watches that were originally intended for male customers.  However, many women want something more subtle.

The ladies two-tone Omega Seamaster will satisfy a woman who is looking for something that is both sporty and elegant and isn’t overpowering on the wrist.  We have a pre-owned model in excellent condition available on eRelyx for under $1,000.  That’s great savings when you consider the original retail price is over $2,000!!!

Michele Deco Diamond Chronograph

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

Women are wearing big, fun watches these days.  Michele was one of the first watchmakers to take advantage of this trend.  They offer high quality watches in bold, fun designs.  They also make it easy to change the straps on the watches in case women want to change up their look – black one day, red the next.

One of our favorite Michele watches is the Deco Diamond.  I know that we have a lot of favorites, but I actually bought this model for a female family member, so I am speaking with my wallet!

This model is both fun and elegant.  Sure, it’s on the large size, but the diamonds and mother of pearl dial add sophistication.

The model we have in stock retails for $1,645.  Our model is pre-owned in excellent condition with box, open papers, and a brand new strap and is available for almost HALF OFF retail!

Cartier Says that the Ballon Bleu is its Best Selling Watch

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

Cartier recently reported that the Ballon Bleu is its best selling watch. That was no surprise. For months we’ve been gushing about how much we love the line. Check out all of our blogs on the Cartier Ballon Bleu.

What was a surprise was Cartier’s explanation of why the line is doing so well. Here is the explanation given by Chief Executive Officer Bernard Fornas: “Bigger watches are losing a bit of ground today. When you are in crisis periods you show off less and you have shapes that are more discreet and more ergonomic. The feel-guilty factor is very important.”  Read the entire article here.

I understand that he’s the boss and has access to plenty of consumer research, but I disagree with him. The Ballon Bleu is doing well for two main reasons:
1. It looks amazing.
2. Celebrities are wearing it, giving it more exposure.

If his explanation is true, why did Rolex recently start making larger Datejust models? And why is Audemars Piguet doing so well?

Check out all of the celebs wearing the Ballon Bleu.

Montblanc Timewalker Chronograph 09668

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

We know what you’re thinking – Montblanc is a luxury pen company.  Well, that was true until 1997.  In 1997 the company entered the watch game.  Shortly thereafter they introduced the Timewalker series.  We think that they have a hit on their hands.  The line is both elegant and sporty.

Check out the Montblanc Timewalker Chronograph below.  It is model number 09668.  Some people refer to this model a 7069 – you’ll notice that number on the caseback.  However, according to Montblanc, that number is “a technical reference number that refers to the movement of your time writing device. It is not identical with the model number…The number 7069 is used by Montblanc internally to identify the clockwork.”

This particular model is 43mm and has a gorgeous exhibition back.  It retails for $5,300.  It is available on eRelyx for just about half of that!!!

Tag Heuer Monaco Chronograph CW2113-0

Monday, January 16th, 2012

I LOVE this watch.  The Tag Heuer Monaco Chronograph has been a favorite of mine for a number of years.  I love the blue dial.  I love the square case.  And I love the blue leather strap.  This watch just screams for attention.

This particular model is the CW2113-0.  It has a Calibre 17 automatic movement (an ETA-derived movement for the watch nuts out there).  Tag Heuer recently introduced an updated version of this watch.  The newest Tag Heuer Monaco Chronograph (CAW2111) has a Calibre 12 movement with an exhibition back.  The new model also has a MUCH larger price tag – $5,600!!

The model that we have at eRelyx is available for $2,925.  The watch is essentially brand new – never been owned by a consumer.  However, since it has been tried on several times, we feel more comfortable selling it as “like new.”  Either way, it’s in fantastic condition.

Panerai Luminor Marina – PAM 51

Monday, January 16th, 2012

Panerai is known for its bold, simple designs.  They are also known for large watches – most Panerai watches you see are 44-45mm.  They are also known for black dials and leather and rubber straps.

What if you love the look of Panerai watches, but like smaller watches with a stainless steel bracelet and a white dial?  Well then this Panerai Luminor Marina PAM00051 is just for you.  It’s 40mm (still a decent size) with a stainless steel bracelet and a white dial.  We just got in a pre-owned model with box and papers.  List price on the watch is $8,600, but this one is available for the amazing price of $5,590!!

Breitling Colt II Chronograph

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

Yesterday we blogged about one of our favorite Breitling watches – the Breitling Navitimer World. It’s a big, imposing watch.  If you’re looking for something a bit less conspicuous, the standard Navitimer model is a good option.  It’s under 42mm, as opposed to the 46mm case on the Navitimer World.

You may also be interested in a less expensive Breitling – both of the Navitimer models are over $6,000 at retail.  In that case, the Breitling Colt II Chronograph is a great option.  Because it has a quartz movement, the retail price is $3,180.  However, it still has the sporty, bold Breitling look without sacrificing quality.

We just added an unworn Breitling Colt II Chronograph to our inventory.  It comes complete with box/papers/hang tag as is available for $2,680.  $500 off!!  Click here for details and to purchase.

Breitling Navitimer World

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

We just added one of our favorite watches to our inventory – a Breitling Navitimer World.  This watch it bold.  It makes a statement.  It’s a man’s watch.  And there is no way that it won’t turn heads.

This model is not for the weak of heart.  It’s a whopping 46mm.  And all of the activity on the dial will make some people dizzy – it is a chronograph with GMT functionality and a circular slide rule.  It’s busy – but we think busy is beautiful.

The Breitling Navitimer World retails for $7,620.  This particular pre-owned model is like new with box, papers, and hang tag and cost $4,690.  That’s close to 40% off for this ultra-popular watch.
