not that it is a bad thing, it just requires some mental adjustments on my part.

Not necessarily. If you get a Rolex at the right price, it's almost better than money in the bank.

The GS and Seiko Spring Drives are very nice, and extremely appealing to me as the watchmaker's science and art, but it remains to be seen how they hold value.

Not sure about this one. Heavy and bulky on the wrist. Not quite what I expected.

I have the "Pepsi" version and it's my smallest (newer) diver's watch...

I bought a green Sub because it was tax free and I liked it. It's doubled in value so far.

Anyone have a link to a Rolex on-line retailer that's genuine and offers the lowest prices?

I used interwatches.com and have no complaints. Paid a very reasonable price for my vintage DJ and came with 1-year warranty -- which I did not need.

I like hqmilton.com
they deal largely in vintage models, but also have a selection of more modern watches. prices are fair, and the service is outstanding.

Really into the look of this fossil. Suggestions on watches that have that look?

Manuel Garcia O'Kely · 04-03-2012, 07:39 PM

Skeletonized watches are a specialty - that one has a pair of sub-dials, I don't know anything specific. You need to just google and search. Personally, I'd prefer a display back to a display front with the exception of the Bulova Accutron Space View.

Fossil is a fashion watch, so don't have high expectations for lifespan or accuracy, they get changed every season.

Buccleuch · 04-04-2012, 07:25 AM

There's the Bulova Mechanical 96A120...

I'd say the Bulova is a notch or two above Fossil.

A little late to the party but here is my latest addition. A Christmas present that I am quite fond of.

D1LL0N · 04-04-2012, 12:36 PM

Any thoughts on the Omega Deville Tourbillon? ;)

Only a 100 grand...haha

Buccleuch · 04-04-2012, 01:11 PM

I've worn a platinum Blancpain tourbillon.

$129,000.

For about three minutes.

At a watch fair.
