Well today I had the whole day off and my girl was working so I decided to have a little me time. I been to Tourneau a 100 times and I don't think they are that personable and tend the think I'm just a kid, so I waned to look at some high end jewelers.
The first stop I made was Freedman Jewelers in Huntington. From the moment I walked in my eyes darted to the right of myself toward the Breitling display. An older woman approached me and asked if I needed help. I told her I was in the market for a new watch, and I had my eye on a few different Breitlings. She said oh well I noticed your wearing a Breitling "I was wearing my two-tone Invicta PD 7750 lol" I told her it wasn't but I wanted to look at the Super Avenger which has the same movement and want to look at the 6.75 which is a eta 2892 with a big date and a 30 second chronograph
. As soon as I said that a man named Jack approached me and said "wow what's all this talk about movements! This is a man that knows his watches!" After talking about my watches I wanted ( SA, 6.75, B01, PAM312, IWC Big Pilot ) and my love for in-house movements he told me that I should go with a PAM or a 6.75. He was amazingly nice and I was impressed that he let me try on any watch I wanted and even more so that he recommend a watch that he didn't even carry. Before leaving he gave me two different beautiful booklets, one on all Breitling's and one on the B01. If I go with a Breitling I'll definitely going back there to talk numbers.My Second Stop was Maddaloni Jewelers. Right away I was greeted and asked if I needed help. I been here before and new that they are one of the largest carriers of UN. I told the salesman that I was In the market for a new watch none of which they carried there. Another salesman named Bryan told me to sit tight that he wanted to talk to me because he was impressed that I knew so much and that I wanted an in-house movement. I'm not going to go into extreme detail about the conversation but over all I was blown away about the information he gave me about three different watch companies he loved, and thought I might be interested in. One was Ulysse Nardin another was Glashutte ( which is a small german company that makes all in-house movements and only a small amount of watches per-year. The last was Cuervo Y Sobrinos. Oh and by the way this kid Bryan Is only 20 and been into watches for only 4 months. The main watch he was showing me that I loved was the Ulysse Nardin 243-92/632 Quadrato Dual Time Mens Watch and in-house movement. The watch was about $7,000 an amazing time piece but for my first grail not for me. I humored him and told him that I was going to think about it ( which I would if I had the money and my first grail already ) Before I left, Bryan gave me three amazing booklets ( all hard cover ) on each brand. What an amazing time I had. OH and the best part right before I left he let me try on the Ulysse Nardin Freak Diamond Heart Limited Edition Watch!!! this watch is $160,000
