Worthwhile Reading
Between cases we keep a short list of plain-language resources we actually recommend to clients — a few of them well outside the law books.
What is a watch really worth?
It is one of the most common valuation questions we hear — in estate plans, insurance claims, and the occasional divorce. If you have ever wondered how replica watches are graded, or how to tell a high-end copy from the real thing, it is a good place to start, alongside the rest of our recommended reading list.
