Interview: A Look Inside The Personal Watch Collection Of Ralph Lauren
To put it simply, there is no one that has influenced all of us more in the way that we dress and think about style than Ralph Lauren. What started 40 years ago with one young man from the Bronx with an eye for design has turned into not just a global empire, but also an entire way of thinking – a world that has come to envelop far more than simply the Northeastern preppiness of Polo, but also the urbane chic-ness of the handmade Purple Label and the Southwestern workwear meets Brooklyn aura of RRL.

I recently visited an AD in the US with whom I have no prior relationship, and inquired about a highly sought-after brand new Nautilus. He said he does not have one in stock but can order one in and it will be here in 3 to 4 weeks. I asked him how confident he is with this estimate. He said 100%.We then proceeded to discuss price. Without much effort on my end, he offered a discount in the 15-20% range. I gave a range here because I am guaranteed at least 15% but he gave me a sense that it could possibly go to 20% if I commit soon. I was shocked upon hearing the discount, but kept my poker face until the end.For the record, this is a popular Nautilus model that many of the members here sport.
