Ralph Lauren watches

I stopped by the ralph lauren store in Central HK today to buy some pants.

While I was waiting for my bill, they asked me if I'd check out their watch boutique.

I was fully expecting to be a hater, but it's not all bad. This 39mm field watch for around $3,100 was nice. My impression is that it's better finished than some similarly priced watches from IWC and Tudor. They say that they're manufacturing in Switzerland and sourcing movements from JLC.

So what do your new pants look like.

What does the $62000 sticker mean - it comes with a house and a winder?

Yes, saw that on their website.

Thought is might have been $AU knowing how they charge over here.

I think they use Sellita movements. Fashion watches from a fashion brand.

I don't like it. Designer brands making watches just doesn't do it for me.

In that case, they may have been referring specifically to the chrono when they said movement was from JLC

Not in love with the size or the hublot style bezel.
