One look at its simple yet very delicate design and you will fall under its seductive spell. This timepiece doesn't so much ask for attention as command it, with its subtle features combining seamlessly into a brazen, and yet at the same time refined, statement of style.This watch will certainly not suit all comers yet this only serves to add to its allure. Like its future owners, this timepiece has no time for fanfare or frivolities. If you are looking for a new watch that will make a bold statement to the masses, then the Louis Erard is not for you.

Greetings folks! Worth snagging this 96?
Hello there! I generally collect Rolex but I have a friend of mine offering a Patek ref. 96 black dialed with sub at 6 watch.I can snap pics next week if that helps. It seems like the dial as some wear/spotting but slight and the metal looks tarnished a tad.He is a very active vintage collector and he is offering me the watch for 3,000.I feel like this is a good investment piece/an important watch in the history of Patek.I am not sure how rare they are or if 3k for the slight wear is worth it? It looks like online they sell for 5-7k gold faced variants.One thing I did notice is that the crown was replaced, it looked like it fit OK but was obviously replaced along the way. The watch appears ot be 18k yellow gold. Any insight? The movement seemed to match what I saw online and was clean. The watch was running fine. I am attracted to Patek, more so as of late so perhaps this is a good segue into it? I know the gentleman really well so that helps. Thanks for any insight you can offer me. I

I am a long term Rolex enthusiast, but I am getting more and more interested in Panerai. I know there are a lot of variables, but do the boutiques generally give any discounts?
