Wristwatch collectors out there? - Page 44

I don't go diving, but I would be nervous I would loose it deep in the water. I did go in the lake with my Zenith Defy Xtreme, but that was 5 feet of water. If the band broke I could pick it up with my foot!!!

I have a Breitling Windrider Chrono and have taken it snorkeling many times, but usually will take it off if going in deeper waters.

And Moses, you're right. The Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich is simply mind blowing.

Never thought about deep water situations. I'll think twice the next time, thanks.

I like dive watches for their durable nature. I am not one to take the watch off when working on the car and there's nicks all over my watch, but it's mine and my nicks, lol.

nicks = character (or so I was told)

Until you want to sell it. I'd love to trade my Flieger for an Overseas Chrono

. If I see a LNIB Overseas it may mitigate the wear on my watch a bit.

Yup. I like the VC Royal Eagle Chrono too. Either one would be styling

Dude... That Casio is a classic!!!!

I bought one of these just before Christmas when Ashford had them marked at 229.00. I couldn't pass it up. Now, at 1000.00 retail, no way would I buy, but it's really nice and well built and for the price I paid, it was a great deal.

Good pick up!!! I've always liked the Movado's. Probably why I have had a few over the years

Wow, it's actually modern and attactive watch; not something I usually think of with Movado. When I think of Movado, I picture the cliche 80's style watch which this is not.

Quite stylish and a good buy for an established CH brand at $229! Well done.

hammondc · 01-09-2012, 05:12 PM

I have pretty much decided on this watch. Now, I just need to find one for a reasonable price. Someone mentioned the asian market but holy crap there are a lot of them. I have my eye out at some local places and on timezone for a preowned piece. New is just over $4k. I'd like to get it for $2500. Long shot, I know, but that is where I am.

Taki · 01-09-2012, 05:43 PM

Very nice Chip

I don't think I could trust the asian market but I am not sure?? Good luck brother

Santa (me) brought this and put it under the tree.

I lied to myself and convinced me that I was good. Got a heck of a discount on it. I shop around big time before buying and I got $189 off the normal retail market price not MSRP.

My favorite new watch. Only one I am currently wearing now. I just love the look of it.

Volusianator · 01-09-2012, 07:47 PM

A Bolt, VERY nice, I'd love one of those, in the Zeus line if I win the lotto, preferably brown! Sweet watch man, very sweet.

Just got this yesterday. Speedmaster Professional 3570.50 ("moonwatch"). I have a panda dial (white with black subdials) as well as silver hands on order. My plan is to have a local watchmaker switch them out for me--Omega made 300 of this style for the Japanese market 10+ years ago but I've not seen one for sale so I'm just building my own. Will post more pics if/when that happens. For now, though, I am really enjoying this watch as-is.
