Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
Do you know if they've had any issues with them? I mean are they reliable?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
I think so, what about a G-Shock? What functions you looking for?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
Not really sure Its been a while since I've worn a watch. I'm not typically nice to my gear and expect it to work anyway. The Suunto I was looking at is the X-lander. I like the features it has. If this is more of show what you got thread then maybe we should move it to banter?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
I've never heard of the Suunto before, did a quick google and yeah, it looks a lot like the G-Shocks. Nice looking watches.

Warranty is gone. the watch is NOS from 2006. I can still register it as it did come with the "passport" (grahams info book with model info, warranty info, etc). I talked with Graham USA... i am debatign sendign the watch in for an authenticity check... it will cost about 125.00 to do (40 ship, 50 check authenticity, 40 ship back) I should probably do it.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
You'll end up saving money as they'll authenticate it by servicing it. The only downside is their may be a lengthy queue to get it back. One time I had a watch serviced by the USA rep took months, but I hear Rolex can turn a watch around pretty quick. There's not that much labor (in hours) to do the work.

I remember when I bought an IWC online back in 1997 from Malaysia, it was still pretty new (buying watches online) and it was a bank transfer to them. You could imagine how nervous I was back then!
