i was going to say that, so, i guess, - ditto i think there are definitely watches that are amazing and worth several thousand - but, i would say 90% of all high end watches are BS inflated pricing - and people are buying names or buying the sales pitch -- as pointed out by robbie. By the way i usually wear polo shirts "To work" so to speak, and people ask me why i don't wear suits- and, its because, the people that i know that are really rich - i.e. own 3 gets - a G4, G3 and a hawker - and others, they don't dress fancy, in fact, they are usually trying to downplay their status. basically the people that flaunt it, are usually the people that don't have it.

i take time off occasionally, but i always come back, if not for the watches for the community. i've gone through the same issues that your feelin - the ups the downs the uncertainty and the priority of time. Best of luck with your efforts. are you still buying those AP straps?

if i could only get my new boss to approve anything i'd be up there at some point, he will open up the cash flow and - i'll be there

that is freaking hilarious

funny thread - wouldn't be suprised if some of the supporters in the thread were members here

i'd wear it

love the animated gif - freakin hilarious

i like the more classic design myself - BUT - you can't go wrong Excellent choice - i am SUPER SUPER SUPER jelous :tu: :yeah: :thumbs: :good: :good: :good: :good:

try jewelry exchanges - look for a watchmaker that is hungry - and needs some work. I ask them if they will work on ETA / swiss / other high end rep watches - usually they will say no - because people get mad that it costs 100$ to fix - when they paid $60 for a watch. make sure to tell them you understand its just as expensive to work on a rep as it is a gen - and you can even tell them you maybe able to source the parts if there are needed parts for a repair. build a relationship start out by just asking for simple things - change hands, pop out a crystal - don't go in and say, this is broken, not sure whats wrong build up a trust then ask him to do more difficult things

Morons - Zenith made the first automatic chronograph mov't - it beats at a cool 36.6 zenith used to make the mov'ts for teh older daytonas before they went in house - this is a timeless watch for watch collectors - and WILL never go out of style (except for it being large) and there is a 40mm version, although i'd go big if you have never tried one on - stop what your doing - (if your in NYC) and go find one - they wear twice as good as the juicy photos. this watch looks impressive to non watch types - like grandma and Zenith will always be a collector item and the El Primero might be one of the best movements (automatic - without ridiculous complications) EVER This watch has it all collector Value History AMAZING Movement wow appeal (for normal people) and they make it in 20 different versions my fav is the grey dial http://www.collectorstime.com/zenith.php this is a good source - but looks like the fall of the dollar is killing us here. i saw some cheaper prices on froogle.com but, i guess it comes down to which design you want

for the record, i've been hocking the maxi marine *but the chrono version) for longer than robbieg and - also, the xxt zenith open - to me, its very classy and its HUGE - so, it makes a statement - super class, dress, HUGE, classic yet modern can be had for 4900 somewheres on the internets you get a 1 of a kind movement, you get a real collectors watch, you get a dress watch, you get a large watch these are the 2 gens i would actually spend $$ on if i had it here is the chrono

actually were all stuck in a magnetic field - it is the magnetic fields of the earth's core that protect our atmosphere from wearing away from solar radiation (like what happened to mars) however, i was just watching a show last week, where they explained that the earth's polarities have shifted over time and at sometimes have inverted - so, sometimes N is actually South and South north ect ect. there is an absence of magnetic fields in certain areas of the southern hemispheres that have some scientists concerned so, there is either that - or you could be one of those "magnet therapy" people (or more likely just trying to sleep with one for the sake of an eve's good time) - and now your imaginary magnetic healing bracelet won't F up your automatic watch and - for the record - i Really want a sinn seems like that ebay auction is a pretty good deal

#7 - wow, one of our own members dogging us no caveat for like a couple of the sites that aren't directly tied and - i CAN tell based upon the website as to what types of reps i will get but i'm highly trained

that looks great - were you the one that had the really pink pink looking photos of this ro was that another thread. cause, the pink pink i thought looked bad, but this looks good more of a yellow gold look

I'd love a center-seconds version as well. As you know, the original B-Uhr watches all featured large manual-wind movements with center seconds. Today, the only options for center seconds seem to be smaller automatics, or very expensive modified 6497/6498 movements (as sold by Chronoswiss, Stowa, and others). I've even been searching for suitable vintage pocket watch movements, but the only one that I've seen is a hacking Hamilton military timer, the 4992B...and it's too large, at 43.1mm in diameter. same complaint T has had and why his custom watches arent center seconds i say geet a cheap asian movt and drop in a spacer re: money - on a lovely project like this with the quality and price- you should be braggin - Brilliant work. totally brilliant. for that price, i might want one myself

i have my distressed hktan rivet pilot strap on the way. but something about your tats and that bulky large brick of a watch - i dont' think i'd [censored] with you

blade your avatar makes me feel like a bad person

my wife would kill me if i bought this watch right now - and although i could raise the funds by selling a few - mmm, just can't bring myself to do it http://cgi.ebay.com/sinn-856-GMT-UTC_W0QQi...1QQcmdZViewItem sinn 856 GMT for 999$ buy it now!!

that is super awesome!

Yeah its a seagull mov't - i had searched around for these double tourbys didn't find a good source where did you find yours?

let me know if you have any questions or need help with the form

i liked the the watch prince case - but 150$ for a watch case - i think is a bit much i got a panatime large 1 watch roll case for my AP and that military case - that looks freaking awesome we need a watch case, display section

that looks Fantastic - maybe i'll get one of these and a small round case.

my watchboys travel case zipper sucks so bad you can hardly open it. but, i think i need something i can put my AP ROO in so - laying the watches flat wont work anymore was looking at this panatime one anyone else have good suggestions - probably need capacity in the 3-6 range (wife takes watches to) http://www.panatime.com/blletrcafor4.html
