Brand new from Jomashop, a grey-market (non-authorized) dealer, so expect the store's warranty (Jomashop lists '2 Year Jomashop Warranty') rather than the brand's. Also checked: WatchMaxx $2,138 (10:28 PM ET). 'List' is the retail figure the dealer displays; I could not confirm it on the brand's own US site. Prices change fast; check the store before you buy.

Which one I'd pick
Size: the L3.774.4.90.2 I priced is 42 mm and 12.7 mm thick (per Jomashop). Google autocomplete shows lots of searches for '39mm' and '36mm' versions too, so confirm the size and ref on any listing.
What to check before you buy
- Warranty: grey-market new watches usually carry the dealer's warranty, not the brand's. Ask which one you get and whether the brand's warranty card is included.
- Exact reference: dial colour, size and strap change the price. Match the full ref (L3.774.4.90.2) before comparing deals.
- Fakes and red flags: be wary of prices far below the ranges above, stock photos only, or sellers who won't show the caseback, serial and papers.
