1. how is that jumping the gun?

2. 500.00 isn't bad for 7750... but if 500.00 is an inflated BOTL price, THEN I have a problem.

It seems as if whenever i post you are always there to say something... maybe you just have a crush on me??

Oris watches are a good deal. I put them in the league of watches like Mido, Certina, Bell & Ross, and Sinn. The each offer value and something unique looking as well.

I would really look at Mido and Certina out of the group. Sinn is awesome if you like aviation watches and don't mind made in Germany.

I'd disagree on that pile of BS too but he probably drives a KIA and thinks it's actually the same thing as a Mercedes because an engine is an engine.

Thank you for that. That might be a sale price as it seems the whole site is on sale, but still you have to email/call Borel to get the actual price. I have had his listed price vary by $100 when I called.

I think it would look great on leather. Here is one I did for a guy on his IWC 3717:

Similar styling to the Robert that you have.

Just don't agree with what you have to say at times.

s15driftking · 12-23-2009, 11:37 AM

And that makes you want to attempt to hunt me down on other forums?

Anyone wanna bet a 5er on how long this thread will stay open? I say it's locked by 2:30.

I've learned all I can possibly learn anyway and never knew a quartz is a quartz and all watched are basically the same if they have a quartz.

RJT, if you're reading this, I want my money back for the Rolex!!!!!!

s15driftking · 12-23-2009, 12:12 PM

You are right, im done arguing, more watches!!!

wore this today!

Would that be 2:30 on a quartz or on an automatic?

Finally tracked down my manager before the holidays its $350 not $500, he said he wasn't sure what the price was and thought it would be around $500. I didn't give him the money for it. I'm just ordering it myself. www.beyondtherack.com. I signed up, it's free, and the sale ends tomorrow at Noon.

Here's the link to the exact watch. http://www.beyondtherack.com/event/sku/667/BUL26C04
