Same. I've decided that once bonus season gets here I'm going to track down an OP39 with the rhodium dial.

In Vegas for 50th. Watch Mecca. Trying not to buy my grail watch because I did find it and tried it on. Forgot to get pic.

Did get pic of this one. It has plastic on it which is why it looks a little off.

If you've got the money, do it. The sooner you buy it the longer you'll get to wear it.

I have an Augsburg, and I really like it. A good watch for the money.

Glaschutte Senator Cosmopolite. I was at Bucherer and they had one. It's a great watch hunting trip because everyone has pretty good stock due to Formula One being here last week.

I know there are some folks on here that have access to preowned watches. I'm looking for a JLC Reverso for my wife. Can't sell the farm for it, but would like suggestions.
I don't have stars, but will buy some if that makes communication easier.
Thanks for any and all replies, irreverent or not!

Saving Glaschutte for a milestone purchase next year but did pick this up today. Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra in blue. I've had this watch on my list for a more casual watch. Color is more blue gray in reality which really appealed to me.

We ate at Gringo's in CS on Friday night and our waiter was a college-aged kid wearing a Sub. I complimented him on it, hoping to get a story about it (since you don't see many kids that age waiting tables in a $10k watch). He said his dad owns a jewelry shop in Houston and gifted it to him.

I know, cool story bro, but I don't frequently see a Rolex in the wild so I wanted to share.

I just wanted to get-in on the action of the biggest thread in TexAgs history.

Back in 2002 wife bought me, for $1,800, a super awesome Omega Seamaster. I sold it online for $2,500 a few years later because I was short on private school tuition payment when I was in grad school. Now that same watch, used, I see for like $12k +.....

I still like nice watches but don't want to spend too much.

A few years ago I bought an A5 Automatic Field Watch by Vaer. Less than $500 and really nice piece.

VAER | A5 Field Black: 10ATM, Sapphire Glass, USA Assembled (vaerwatches.com)

That's a sick watch, never heard of them!
I don't know if the username checks out, or is just sad, but you should get another seamaster just to be sure.

Maybe I am miss-remembering or exaggerating...

I don't recall the exact model # and struggling to find the exact one online. It looked a lot like this one. It was a 'Seamaster Professional Chronometer' but the background had the wavy effect.

Omega Seamaster Professional 300M Sword Hands for $4,049 for sale from a Trusted Seller on Chrono24

gotcha...I have a very similar watch, that I bought around the same time.

That one retails for under $6K these days. You should be able to get a discount off MSRP as well.

In 2004 I bought my first datejust (preowned) for $2800. Safe to say times have changed.

It was about that time that you could get pre-owned Subs for $5,000 routinely

Yes, it's very safe to say times have changed over the last 20 years.

The Explorer II has been my grail watch for a while but this is very tempting at about 1/3 the price.

Wife just picked me up a Longines VHP for Christmas. Looking forward to it for an everyday watch.

Looks a lot like a BB Pro.

So far I've been a fan of my Zulu Time. If I'd bought it earlier there is a chance I'd have two or three fewer watches in my collection.
