44MM Parnis big pilots stainless steel case luminous MECHANICAL Watch 6497 PN213 $88
He responded correctly by saying that the watch was indeed beautiful, basically an IWC bootleg. See what I mean?
Everything is pretty similar, besides the price, the name, and most likely the weight/quality of the
watch. Which got me thinking, do I really want to "steal the look". Is that even a good thing?
Dappered.com often writes about where to find less expensive alternatives, and recently posted about this stylish MOUGIN & PIQUARD™ CHRONOGRAPH WATCH IN BLACK $695
If it weren't being mass advertised through J.Crew, I would absolutely love this watch. The people at Dappered.com volunteered this option from Boss as a handsome alternative.
These are a little flashier than the original, but still good looking. But I don't want to steal the look. I want the look. Until I can afford it, I'm happy to wait impatiently. And on a side note, I don't believe in buying watches from non-watch companies. Its not even about price, I just think its tacky.
So why not work with what you got. Maybe something like this.
Sure, higher-end brands definitely carry something similar to this. But this is a well-made watch from a respectable brand, with straps that keep it age appropriate and casual.
