I think people get too hung up on what watch to wear with what clothes. The president of my bank wears a suit 5 days a week with a Timex Ironman. I generally wear a suit usually 4 days a week and 90% of the time I'm wearing a diver on a nato.


Just because someone rich does something stupid doesn't mean I want to.

I may be looking to sell my AP Royal Oak REF. #15400ST.OO.1220ST.01

Had it a year and 4 years left on factory warranty. Very little wrist time. All boxes and papers


How much do you want for it?

Bought a couple of expensive toys (cars) in the last few months, so I need to get rid of some of other toys to stay in the good graces of my wife.

Hal Martin's is cutting me a good deal to consign it. It will be there if you want to look at it

Brace yourselves, though - these have absolutely skyrocketed in price over the last 12 months

not high-end, but where in town would I find the best selection of Seikos to try/buy?
I hardly ever wear a watch and I feel like I should try out a $200-ish watch to see if I'll even wear it regularly before I blow $2k on something really nice
Seiko Astron might be a choice in the $2K range.

I still love my Citizen Shyhawk A-T for the $200 range. Set it and forget it. I also like the digital band for using at my kids' swim meets and for setting a secondary time when I travel.

I haven't seen a NIB specimen for under $25K during the last month. $16K was 3 years ago. Grey market guys had them at 20K this time last year

Wow. Rolex GMT IIc prices have gone crazy too. I bought one new in box 5 or 6 years ago for $6,500. Traded it off for a Deepsea a couple years later. The 40m with black bezel was just a tad too small for me.

Wish I would have held onto it.

The Batman and Pepsi's have really driven up the prices on the GMTs.

You could find a good used Omega Seamaster. A Tudor Black Bay could probably be found for a bit more.

The Brellum Pandial or Duobox would be close to your budget, too.

You can get a Roleck's. Only problem is that you'll have to drive to the general Harwin/Hillcroft area of town at your own risk.

I like the look of that Rado diver, but not with a leather strap. Maybe at least pretend you are going to take it near water.
