Ralph Lauren Slim Classique Square
The Ralph Lauren Slim Classique collection represents modern watchmaking with classical, slender proportions that recall a bygone era. For 2011, Ralph Lauren introduces a new square design inspired by the grand era of Art Deco style. Find technical information, wallpaper and pricing inside. In an age of increasingly large watches, this timepiece is tastefully restrained at just 27.5mm wide. The case is available in rose gold or white gold, including a guilloch�� reference (shown below).Beneath the classic Art Deco dial with its concentric squares and mixed Arabic and Roman numerals is a caliber RL430, made by Piaget for Ralph Lauren. This ultra-thin manual-winding movement beats at 21,600 vph and offers a 40 hour power reserve.The Ralph Lauren Slim Classique Square is priced at $12,600 in red gold, $13,800 in white gold, and $15,200 in white gold with guilloch��.

Submariner vs Explorer
I am deciding between the Sub or an Explorer I and a Tudor Heritage BB. I visited my local AD yesterday and I tried on both watches. Yes the AD had a Sub available for sale, actually he said it has been sitting there for about a month now.The Explorer I is a very nice watch but the Sub was an awesome watch and the price difference was only $1200. The AD gave me the Rolex Magazine with the Sub cover, haven't been able to put it down.I will wait till I try the Tudor Heritage Black Bay and then make a decision on whether to buy a Sub only or the Explorer I and the Tudor BB.My main point is...the choice isnt going to be an easy one.

I think my AD is asking a bit much. Grateful for your thoughts.
I'm purchasing a new Submariner 114060 from my local AD (the only AD in town). She has a wait-list for reference 116610, but not for reference 114060. She asked me to pay in full, after which she would place the order, and then we would wait some undefined period of time for the watch to arrive.I thanked her and said I would be in touch in a few days, once funds are shifted into place.My sense is the pay in full, then place the order, then wait for a watch routine is not business-as-usual at most Rolex ADs. I don't expect her to obtain a watch for me without a deposit, but I don't intend to comply with the terms she offered; while I would like to keep my business local, there are watches I can buy and have shipped to me immediately.I feel like I should offer some reasonable deposit, and that I should ask her to provide an estimated delivery date (realizing the challenges she faces as a dealer).I'll be grateful if members will share typical arrangements ADs make in this context.Thank

Shout out thank you to oldman2005!
