Okay I'm into watches again. Post your favorite models

Rolex pricing/availability for most models is insane at the moment. New or used. I refuse to pay artificially inflated prices for anything especially things I've owned in the past and I know their true value to me.
Sucks, but that's the game I guess for those that can afford to play.

Knowing the market value to others and realizing that opportunity is how you make money whether it's guns, watches or houses. I agree with you about paying artificially inflated prices as some fools are paying $20K+ for the same watch that cost me half that much. Look up Rolex 126610LV and see the market value and what some fools are paying vs. MSRP or better yet, try to even find one for sale at MSRP.

I'm pretty sure this is a first year model. It has an upgraded movement and SRP dial.

Man I love it... nothing like an old school Seiko for an everyday watch

 

[heyitsshane]

Absolutely!! That may be my favorite watch. I like a day/ date and I like that design. I haven't made it to Rolex and they don't make a day/date diver. You can buy the Seiko for what it cost to service a Rolex let alone the price of the watch. I have a Seiko that's nearly 30yrs old and another nearly 25. And they still look good. So far neither have needed repair. I have a Wittnauer that's 30 + and have spent all kinds of money on

They just aren't making them like they used to though, my last 2 "new" seikos have had chapter ring misalignment, but you can find some of the JDM models that seem to be better overall

Omega is marketing a Swatch budget version of the Speedmaster moon watch. Only available at Swatch stores starting today for a little over $200. I'm already seeing them on ebay for $1500+. I'll buy one later for msrp.

Never been a fan of Luminox, but for those prices, I may need to try one.

Promotional gimmick. Only sold in certain retail stores, limited quantity and overhyped. If you're a collector and just have to have one then go for it but there are WAY better watches to spend your money on that are simply better watches IMO.

Still scratching my head as to why Omega would agree to do this collaboration. Pissed off a lot of Omega owners as they feel it devalued the brand. I own a newer Seamaster but I didn't buy it because brand value. I bought it because Rolex and the market for Rolex has lost it's damn mind. LOL.

Omega may have agreed to it as a way to market to a younger generation and feed them uphill over time to the $8k version. Overall my guess is that as Omega is owned by the Swatch Group they likely didn't have full control over the choice.

For me - I like the style of the Speedmaster (especially the twisted lugs) but will never spend the dollars necessary to own one. If I can get a cheap version with the Omega name on it, I'm in.

Any looking to buy a Tudor Black Bay? Thinking about letting mine go.
