1980 concord watches for sale

Wearing a watch imparts a feeling of professionalism that I find necessary. It gives weight to your wrist, literally, and gives figurative weight to your time. You become more aware of what you are doing, you always know what time it is, and people come to you to ask you the time �C they recognize that you are serious about life, that you don't freewheel and float; you have places to go, and a schedule to maintain.Pull back your sleeve to show your Concord Mariner watch and let it glisten. You can also refract the light to play with animals, or to bother your co-workers who you don't like. Just align it with the sun, and surreptitiously move it onto their face, getting ever closer to their eyes. The glint is strong, and will certainly annoy them. If you have a cat, you can use the light to play and watch them try to pounce on it.A Concord Mariner watch or Bulova wrist watch is also a great investment. They last forever if you take good care of them, and you can pass them down to future generations as heirlooms. Or if you ever find yourself in arrears, you could probably re-sell it for a pretty penny. But other than that, why sell something you love?

Concord C1 Radar ChronometerIn January 2011 the small Swiss watchmaker will start selling its new Concord C1 Radar automatic chronometer watch.As I noted in April 2009, I do not really like Concord’s design language. It is original and bold, but it grates on the ear as well.However, the new Concord C1 Radar model may be of some interest to those looking for an aggressive-looking sports watch.Its bezel with eight rubber “crenellations” that protect a 3.3 mm thick sapphire crystal suddenly strikes a chord when combined with cantilevered hour indexes on the engine-turned dial with black PVD treatment.The open-worked hour and minute hands, as well as a stylized subsidiary seconds hand at 6 o’clock look surprisingly congruent to the overall aggressive styling of the watch.Although the Kaki technofiber strap with its strange brownish color looks absolutely out of place here, one can always change it for something more appropriate. Like a black rubber strap, for example.What I like the most here is the legibility of its dial.The green SuperLuminova looks extremely contrast to the black PVD-coated face of the watch and will certainly provide superb legibility in any lighting conditions.The watch is powered by a well-known La Joux-Perret Caliber 3532 automatic movement.Based on the ubiquitous ETA Caliber 2892 with a seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock and a big date window at 12 o’clock, the movement is a COSC-certified chronometer, and is not only very accurate, but is also quite robust.The Swiss watch maker plans to present the Concord C1 Radar in the beginning of the next year at Baselworld 2011 international show.Its MSRP is predicted to be around $8900.
