Piaget Polo

My father had gotten this watch a few years ago but hasnt worn it much since. I asked to borrow it and he said go ahead. So I figured Id post a picture of it. You dont see these too often in the wild and I really like how it looks.

Ok, so I went to give the watch back to my father and he said keep it. So now Im in a quandry. I like this watch but I would really like to trade it in on an AP ROO Panda. Im not really sentimental with things and in the past my father has said, if you dont like it, trade it in on something you do like.

What would you do? Keep the watch(I have never seen another in the wild in passing) or get the ROO?

Maybe contact the TRF trusted sellers & some of the popular internet dealers (such as European watch), see if you can get a decent offer for it. You might also find someone who is willing to sell on consignment. If not, put it up for sale on your own & prepare for a bit of a wait. Like I said, I love the Polo but I'd prefer an AP as well.

It's a good looking watch which is a lot less common in UK when compare with AP ROOS! Piaget is a well-respected brand in SE Asia. Like JLC, it is a step up from Rolex but not quite VC or PP.

Piaget Polos ruled the 80's, particularly the early 80's through the mid-80's. The yellow gold versions were so popular (both women's and men's) that out here in L.A., they were as common a sight as a Rolex is today.

Enjoy!!!!!
