What do people think about this watch? I have the opportunity to get it for 1500, there were only 1000 made, do you think its worth the price? There's a local shop in New York that will sell it to me - online, there are only postings on EBay, which I obviously wouldn't trust buying a watch from.

Welcome to Watch Talk Forums. I don't know much about B & M except that they make nice looking watches. Why not Google it and see what comes up?

Thanks for the welcome. I did google it and the only site that is still selling it is EBay; I'm assuming its because the watch is Limited Edition. It has signatures of Magic Johnson and other star players on the back.

Welcome to WTF!!! I have not heard of the watch either; however, it does look nice. Ulackfocus' suggestion was a good one. Searching may help find an answer to what others think.

Laureus is a foundation that IWC is partnered with also. It's core purpose is to promote social change thru sports and to provide opportunities & sports for underprivileged children in the world. Given it has the Laureus logo on the face and had Magic Johnson as part of it I'm sure it's the same concept. A portion of these sales usually goes to the Sports for Good Foundation.

Value is probably not going to be much higher than the standard versions, but it's nice to have something different & you know it helped do some good.

You can find more about Laureus on their website.

Welcome to the forums, nice looking watch you are considering, I don't know much about them either, but if you feel comfortable with it, then get it. It's kind of the general motto here. If you like it, get it!
