Anybody ever heard of these?

Only had one experience with them. Tried to order when they were doing a sale for Christmas. They emailed me the next day saying they didn't have what I ordered but could get me a different one. I declined then they miraculously said they could get mine from Hong Kong in 10-12 days. I requested a refund and went with the Wolf instead.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a non LV watch case? Something that doesn't break the bank but looks nice?

The case that I obtained from ftac holds four watches and I have outgrown it!

I got this recently as a wedding gift. I love it. Looks very high quality. (The reflection/glare in this photo doesn't do it justice.)

Whether the motors hold up more than a year or two will be the real question, but I'm enjoying it so far.

That's beautiful!

Looks like you are outgrowing that thing.

Please sell it to me

The Fossil and the Casioak can happily be thrown in a drawer - and the Breitling is for sale so I've got slots to add a few more watches.

It looks like this model is "on sale" for less than $400 right now.

I would buy that, but then I'd have to showcase the handful of watches my wife doesn't know about yet

Broke out the birth year watch ('84 DateJust) for my birthday today...



And shoutout to FTAC for running this one down for me a while back.

Solution: find one of the Chinese Fake websites and show her those prices. Problem solved.

I saw a FC Manufacture Worldtimer in person earlier this week, and the pictures don't do that watch justice. It looks like it should cost 3-4x more than it does. It may be the next piece I add to my collection.

This was freaking amazing. Makes me respect my speedmaster and appreciate it on a whole new level.

Sometimes we need to take the time to slow things down to appreciate the finer things. Such is life.

All that equipment he is using has to be astronomical in value.

Yep happy to help with the speedy. Thanks everyone for the comment.

I can't really beat $6500, because my discount I can offer is 18%…but mine would be fresh from the AD. Also I think you pay fees and taxes through chrono24.
FTAC. I have a few questions for you if you are still willing to help me out. Mind if I text you?

Looking good!

Didn't know Marathon's were doing the cyclops nowadays.

I have a GSAR, dig it alot, but I want to find the bracelet for less than 360 bucks (what Marathon charges).
