Does anyone have any experience with the Concord Saratoga?  I saw it on sale today and really liked it...

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Dont own one, but the Concord name has been around for a long time and they are beautiful watches.

I really like that design, a real multi use watch looks great in the boardroom and rugged enough for the lockeroom:D

I don't know much about them other than they have a long standing and well respected name. I see some of their models at my local Sam's. This example is quite striking and as Tony says, it looks like it can go either way. What are the specs??

I love the Saratoga; and the way they integrate the bracelets into the case.

My dad's got 2; a white Delirium and a 70's vintage octagon face. Both awesome! you can't go wrong.

Thanks guys.  I appreciate your insights as always.

I took your positive comments and went back to the store today to check it out again.  I really think it's a classy-looking watch.  Unfortunately though, I left empty handed.  The problem?  I took a peanut gallery with me to get their thoughts on the watch - they didn't like it.  "It's too shiny" ... "I don't like the way the bracelet and watch are integrated" ... "It looks like a cheap copy."   Oy!  mistake.gif mistake.gif mistake.gif

The moral of the story is this - watch shopping should be done either alone, or with other WIS! subtlelaugh.gif

Well you'll probably be back... alone... you'll take your time and if the watch really calls to you in doesn't matter what your posse has to say!!
