for a simple, stainless, automatic fashion type watch, I've always liked the Bvlgari Bvlgari.


I believe that was a favorite of both Sirhan Sirhan and Boutros Boutros-Ghali.

Wifey is buying me a new watch for our 10yr anny. Was going to get the Drive de Cartier but I want the steel band instead. Any watches that look similar but have the steel band?

Maybe a Panerai?

I inherited a Rolex from my grandfather, but it needs to be repaired. Is there anywhere in Houston that can do this?

so bustup what is your boy gonna charge for my old favorite that ive been talking myself out of the omega seamaster pro

watch

bro, that is an awesome watch; one of the most beautiful out there, but you will find yourself never wearing it. Have you tried it on? I have the regular, less expensive version with the black face and standard grey ceramic bezel, it is the thickest damn watch I've ever seen. It didn't fit under any cuff I owned; and I was constantly banging it against doorknobs.

this is how the watch sits on the wrist



ridiculous; they took such a beautiful watch and made it damn near unwearable. To answer your question; that Jomashop price is awesome; I think you'd be somewhere around the high 6's if you bought from an AD, even with a hookup.

Sending wires is standard in the gray watch market.

The motto is "buy the seller first". Both of those guys are a+ guys with global reputations. They have a lot to lose by stiffing a customer. In a transaction, someone has to be the Guinea pig and that's on the buyer.

I wouldn't buy a watch off amazon outside of a skx007 or a luminox or others in excess of $1000. Both of these guys are peddaling 100% real watches and a lot of new watches come with your name on the warranty card.
The SKX007 is probably my next watch, so Amazon it is.

Love it







How do you make it even better? By getting a Super Oyster bracelet from Strap Code.

That looks great! And I think Seiko is moving toward its Prospex series, so it might be going away.

I have a skx031 that I like, but I want something a little bigger and that is more diver than sports watch.

I love it as well...even though it's my 3rd black diver.

Check out the Monster. You won't touch a watch like this elsewhere for the cost of it.

You're not kidding. Never actually tried one on. That is a little ridiculous.

Makes my wrist look svelte. I am now less jealous.

I've had my Omega Seamaster for a few years now and it's such a great watch. Lots of great watches showing up in this thread!

that's kind of like asking if a Porsche or Ferrari is better.

No. I'd say it's the benchmark watch for a lot of people, but there are better brands (more and less expensive) out there.

it's kind of funny, but when you go down the "rabbit hole" of high end watches; you realize that the most popular rolexes (submariner, datejust, explorer, sea dweller, etc) are kind of like the BMW 3-series of high end watches; and the Audemars, FP Journe, Patek, etc etc are the real "high end" ones. Even then, you still have some of the crazy Roger Dubuis, Richard Mille ones that go for more than a rich man earns in a year.

It's definitely the most well known luxury watch company.

I'm not a huge fan of Rolex but I like that one that BAC posted earlier.
