I did the same once, and was met with serious attitude from the salesperson. It made me feel better about the ordeal, they can kick rocks with the BS games they play coupled with that attitude
Personally, I don't like to write off categories of watches based on a complication or design trait. That said, I've never owned a GMT, nor desired to so I guess what's that say? 😂
It's a bummer really, I loved the CPCP 2396 in the metal and planned to save up for a few years to get into one... then much like how Doug Demuro hyped the 997.2, A Collected Man blasted social media with the Cartier into the stratosphere 😭
You're missing the point entirely. I never once said to not buy what they like, and get something else - in this case "don't get the Cartier, get a GP whose ref# I didn't even name."
What I'm saying is this exact model is subject to the worst influencer hype behavior, and if you knew about the watch itself you'd know the entire credibility they put behind said hype is the movement. "Oh this CPCP movement was designed in conjunction with the greatest modern minds in the watch industry." If that were the sole reason that watch deserves to blow up 6x, a lesser known GP should also cost the exorbitant amount. I could have been more specific in stating that but c'est la vie 🤷♂️
I don't buy new, both because 99% of new watches bore me, and vintage watches are more exciting in general.
Also "used" watches is a hilarious way to put it to me
Lol CPCP monopoussoir was 14k on the market in 2018, then influencers got a hold of it and blew it up to almost 80k... then market overall for hyped watches tanked and it now floats at 40ish.
There's a GP ferrari monopusher that has same movement and finer case finish for half that but every influencer is hyping on Cartier lately lol
