The Finer Things in Life

SNA765, retail $450 to $500 originally. I think Seiko gets a little extra retail for that "Honda Racing Team" thing, as those were originally made as team watches and given to the Formula 1 drivers.

You can find a few Omegas at or around $1,000.

There are a number of Hamiltons under $1000... most all Tissot's are under $1000.

Seiko is your best bet at the low-mid range. I like that I can get 3-4 Seikos that I really like for the price of an entry level Omega/Tag.

My favorite style of watch is the Rolex Submariner. Now I'm not going to pay $7000 (yet) for the Sub I want, but I did pick up a Seiko SKX031 diver. Similar in look and I swapped the cheap folded bracelet out for a Seiko Grand Oyster (solid links) bracelet. Though right now it's sitting on a MARATAC khaki strap for a bit of a summer style.

Recently Amazon has had some killer prices on Tags, many in the $600 to $700 range. I guess in this economy they have been slow to move.

If I was going to buy a Tag (which is more likely than me buying a Rolex), I will go for a Carrera Cronograph Automatic. The blue one on a leather strap... I love it! List on the damn thing at Bloomingdales was $3400 last year, though.

The thing about buying a premium watch online is that most of the online vendors are not authorized, which means if you ever have an issue with the watch it will not be serviced under warranty by the manufacturer.

Yea, haven't seen the Carrera discounted. A while back I saw the Omega Seamaster non-automatic quartz for $1,200, nice price. Now it is at $1,695. I came close to pulling the trigger when it was $1,200, but really didn't need it, so I killed the urge, lol.

I'll stick with my Timex INDIGLO $35.00 watch.

I have a hard time spending top dollar on a watch. I love them but I like too many nice things, so I need to keep a cap on what I buy. At my current income I think $3500 on the Carrera is the absolute max I'd feel comfortable spending... but even then I'd have to think it over 10020 times. It's probably a year-end-bonus purchase and nothing else.

Timex is great for the field. Although I think the Casio GShock is probably the best field watch.

Seiko kinetics are great. The first watch I ever got was a kinetic, much like that one, but two-tone silver/gold with a blue face. It doesn't have a charge right now but I could put it on the winder and it'd be ready for work tomorrow morning.

Looks good, but to big for my skinny wrist, I have Popeye arms! I've had Citizen watches. But couldn't justify spending a coupe hundred, on something that just tells time. Mainly- how much longer till I'm off work, and being on time for supper( hell hath no fury, like a woman's scorn).

G-Shocks are great, but don't impress in the boardroom. I had a couple for quite some time before I started getting the comments in the office. If I were in a stage of life where I didn't give a shix what the bosses thought, I would probably pick another up.
