I just got an offer in the mail from Torneau; they are doing 24 months 0% interest.
They may not be the least expensive retailer, but offer longer warranties than most places....

Mine came as result more of a life and attitude changing event. Problem in life is we always put things off for tomorrow. Throw in that interest free financing and a wife nudging me over to get it and didn't really think twice. Hope that new attitude for life remains when the bill starts coming in. ![]()

I don't foresee a new watch for me this year. Buying a 2nd home right now and want to save for a sedan in the semi-near future. That could change when I am back in Singapore this fall... Watch fever sets in and any responsible decision takes a back seat. There's a couple of particular watches on my hot list, but I can't say I have really "earned" them yet. There's a cool Breitling boutique in Singapore; 1 of 2 in SE Asia.

My most recent experience with Torneau (T) came when I bought my wife a watch last Christmas. The watch she wanted at T was retail. They were unwilling to negotiate. We went to another shop with better stock and bought it for 20% off MSRP. Same warranty, plus I'm set to negotiate for our next one. I paid with a cc and got the miles to boot. So, to me, buying a watch at T for MSRP is not worth it. JMO in LA.

Very nice, I bought a new watch this year so I'm done for awhile. When I next purchase a watch it will either be this exact model, or a Luminor. Enjoy the Navitimer, it is a great piece.

Here's a nice small quartz diver from Alpina. In this day when watches are mostly huge, it was nice to find one at 38mm for my skinny wrist.

That's awesome. Alpina makes some cool watches and they are very well priced. Not too popular in US? Did you buy in this country? Good choice. Are bracelets available from them?

Beautiful piece! I actually haven't even heard about Stowa before (obviously, I'm not a collector). But I have been reading tons about watches and can easily see why so many people are passsionate about them. I love classic, slim watches so the Rolex Cellini collection has naturally caught my eye. The only stumbling block is

I had a mishap not too long ago and lost a prized watch.
Fortunately, I had it insured. To replace it, went with another long term dream of mine. I can now die in peace. ![]() ![]()

Fancy. I have been really digging the polished ceramic bezel, but can't go wrong with blue and gold. Very nice.

I have a question and apologize if it's the wrong place for it. I have two invicta watches and pins have broken on both of them. I have the 8932 and the 15180. The pins are 18 and 22 mm respectively, but I can't for the life of me find how thick the pins are supposed to be. I see 1.5, 1.8, and others. Anyone know, and yes I am a watch dummy, sorry. I searched for an hour and can't find the info. Maybe I am an internet dummy too.

Gotta tell you, the new solid links make a big difference in the overall weight. Feels really solid, more like all precious metal than prior versions.

I used to have a watch fetish. But every single one would look like I dragged it behind my truck in a couple weeks. It's because I'm a hog.
That Rolex is GORGEOUS, Carlos. You are blessed, my man!!! ![]()
