Concord Watches Ride The Hype Machine
Something positive first. I give credit to Concord, or whoever Concord is hiring for being creative. Though I question the effectiveness of it all. I have to first pull myself aside and consider my own position in the watch world. Someone in the know, someone who sees most of what comes out. So consider this a biased opinion by someone who might know what they are talking about. A bit of history - Concord is owned by the Movado group, and couple of years ago it was likely decided that because the brand was not pulling its weight, they would attempt to revitalize the brand into a different kind of manly high end watch. For this they repositioned the brand as a niche product maker and hired a new president in 2006, Vincent Perriard. Since then Concord has released one watch, the C1 - In a bunch of different flavors.I've never been quiet about the fact that I don't like the design of the Concord C1. I've also been pretty straight forward on how I feel about their new QuantumGravity watch

who has it and what do you think as the first PAM? post some pics if you have it.

315 - 324
I searched for this but was not very effective/successful. What year did PP replace the 315 movement with the 324 in the 5127 series? Was it a specific model year or was it slowly phased in over time? I've seen some other sites suggest around 2009 but nothing specific. Thanks. andy.

Scratch on back of case. Brand new purchased at AD
There is no way I made this scratch. Wore it home from ad and put it in the pillow and into the Rolex box. 7 days later I notice a scratch on the back of the case (opposite side of the face). I spoke to a very nice employee over the phone who said I can take the watch in and they can offer me a free polishing. I told him Ill take the free polish but I wont polish for at least a year due to the watch being brand new. I went into the store the following day. Unfortunately, the sales rep i spoke over the phone was not working so i told the problem to another sales rep there.She was very rude... telling me that every watch has a plastic at the back of the watch. Saying look i have lots of scratches like that on my watch. How rediculous. Haha funny because I remember clearly there was no sticker at the back of my watch at the time of purchase!! She did not even check my information and told me the original sales rep will call me tomorrow.The watch has already been resized with all stickers
