Hey Guys,
For those of us who are new to watch collecting and 3T how about filling us in on ShopNBC. Seems like folks don't think much of Eyal, Dan, David and others. I saw the Renato show last night and damn if I didn't almost buy one of the watches! There is obviously a "back story" here that I don't know anything about. I feel like there is an inside joke here that I don't get. Can someone fill the rest of us new folks in so we know what you know? Thanks.
You can get some good deals on SNBC if you know what you're looking for, and it helps to be familiar with the true retail prices. Some of the best deals are with Lior and Swiss Watch International because he offers some "real" brands once in a while.
SNBC, like most shopping channels, tends to fill its presentations with overblown descriptions. Most of their brands offer some decent watches (and some lemons) but they aren't as "high end" as their promoters would like you to believe. One thing that happened with some of the Renatos is that the link screws fell out and the bracelet would come apart. (I think one guy even lost his watch while he was riding his motorcycle...)
Hang out on the watch forums, read some watch magazines, and check out prices in jewelry shops and in stores like Tourneau. You'll start to get an idea of what a particular watch usually sells for.
