I have been tempted but the bracelet puts me off.

I've tried that watch on and love it. Just hard to justify $1000 for a brand that I've only seen on TV. (I tried it on at a watch show)

I agree to a point but if you actually tried it on and found it to be satisfactory then why not?
If you like it after seeing it in person then go ahead and buy it.
Once you prove,beyond the shadow of the hype, that it's a good watch you should have no problems.
That plus CD is actually respected by the TV shoppers out there for good CS!!

CD is more than a TV brand. My watch guru Old Grumpy says they are excellent - and he doesn't sell 'em

[mgiraz]

Chase Durer has been around longer than they have been on TV. I have the watch and quite frankly, the bracelet isa the best part. Here are some pics along side my Omega SMP..

[boscoe]

Thanks for the comparo.
I see some Renato-esque design treatments on the CD. How dare Maryanne Chase steal ideas from Daniel Mink!

[Rusty]

C-D's are not just a TV brand. Even a trendy boutique here in suburban Rochester was a dealer until just recently. I tried to score a price on a C-D that I have been after when they had a liquidation sale.

Since then, I have purchased the Thunderbirds watch and am patiently awaiting delivery.

Pic is from the C-D catalog:

Sorry, didn't mean to start a contraversy. Thanks for all the great info and pictures.

[boscoe]

no controversy larry.
CD has been around for years - and only on TV about the last year.
Not a biggie.
No one is ticked.

Hey! What is wrong with Diver? I thought he was a decent admin!

[Scott D]

No more DiverS - plural, as in the watches...


BUT - to your point I don't know, you do have to watch out for him.. He's a crafty guy.. I do try to keep an eye on him - it ain't easy! ;D ;D ;D
