The watch itself currently retails for $5,250! We’re offering you the same watch with tons of exciting stocking stuffers! And of course don’t forget to enter coupon code KTT09HOLIDAYS for free overnight delivery! Yes, that’s right, you can wear this watch tomorrow – but only if you order now!
The Line In The Sand
There is a point as a watch collector that sets you apart from the masses of people that just like watches. You either like the Casio G-Shock or you don’t! I don’t pull punches here, this is not a fine timepiece, it is junk. Low end watches are fine, all of us have them, and they have their place. The G-Shock is the watch you send your kid to College with so when he loses it you don’t care one way or the other. So don’t post your G’s proudly on the forums hoping for respect in the watch community, because these, ugly masses of plastic belong to the youth and the youth only. If you happen to own one, please gift it to a child in need of a hockey puck. KTTB
Walking With A Limp?
If you had a limp, you would see a Doctor right? Well, most of us would, still there is that group of people that will take the pain. They will walk on the suffering limb for some time ,till they can’t take it anymore! The timing of a fine watch can be compared to this. People wear the watch, it loses time. They keep wearing the watch it loses more time? When will it correct itself, I paid $6000.00 for it? It just doesn’t work that way for watches, they need TLC. When a watch goes off kilter get it checked! With a quick regulation you could be right on time within a day or two. New high tech machines made by Witschi and others, make regulating a watch easy, a few screw turns and regulate, reseal, done. So… take a step in the right direction. KTTB
A Ship Lost At Sea (Kon Tiki)
For years serious American watch collectors have been trying to get there hands on reference: 1594.44.40.1154. Known and loved by dive/watch guys, this beauty never really has ever set sail in the watch world. Due to horrible advertising and no real backing or distribution. This watch is a whisper in the wind amongst collectors, some were purchased in Canada others abroad, still there is no real way to get one in the states without some major ” hoop jumping” . If Eterna had a brain they would still push this great watch in the U.S.A. Bring it back strong, we want it! KTTB
Copier Salesman Makes A Watch Sale?
The following is a rant from KTTB about the WSJ article “The Art of Selling An Expensive Watch”:
So when do copier salesmen instruct those of us that really sell watches? I hate comparative salesmanship! ” It is like a casino, they treat their clients to this and that”! ”They feel special” cliche after cliche, I could serve bologna slices and Hi-C and it would not make my customer less likely to buy the watch they really want! Product knowledge, standing behind the product, and simply having the right goods to sell is half the battle. Watch guys like just that, watches – talking about the watch, learning about the movement, all things watch related! If you are a Fluff salesman, stick to Fluff! Don’t go selling the great taste of Peanut butter!
