·Hey all, I decided to make my first big boy watch purchase yesterday after wanting a seamaster for a decade.
I went into the boutique and tried on NTTD, 60th, and black no date. I walked out with the NTTD and throughout the day, I couldn't help but notice the poor legibility of the watch. I also began to second guess whether this color palette was suitable for a one-watch collection at the moment.
This brings me to my issue: I decided I wanted to swap the NTTD for the black seamaster no date. My thought process is if I want to wear this watch like armor, day in/day out, and all situations, the black is the way to go. It can be dressed up on the steel and be rugged on the rubber.
Boutique is telling me that I cannot exchange for a lesser watch and must use the same purchase amount. (I returned less than 24 hours after purchase) I am now in a situation where I don't necessarily want two watches or want to spend more than what I already have ($10,600). My only options at this point is to keep the NTTD or swap it for the black no date ($6,800) & a DeVille Prestige ($3,800).
Was I in the market for a DeVille? No. But I do appreciate adding a dress watch in the collection to cover that ground.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
