This was a very good forum post. I bought a "beginmariner" from Joshua, and I wear it as a daily beater. It looks good on the wrist, its not flashy, and it doesn't draw a lot of attention (except to the discerning eye) which is how I like it.
You guys certainly know your stuff.
Moneygram works for me. I go to Walmart, pay cash, and get receipt with the transaction code. This way my account numbers stay out of it. I may consider dropping Paypal for this reason alone. They're not Fort Knox.
