Still Watching My Back

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
It's a good shop. They've taken good care of a few other watches. I wouldn't expect them to honor a manufacturers warranty. You're right - "checked out" would be noise to me too at a shop I don't know. But I trust them. Appreciate the input on used price as % of new retail. 50% off seemed a little too optimistic to me as well, but I have no knowledge of watch aftermarket. And I know nothing about the brand. Took another look at the shop and the face is just too big for me.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
Heck, there's a lot of new watches going for near 50% off and this watch is not a tight distribution brand like Rolex, so prices drop like rain from a cloud once they are used.

Really nice! Did you buy it online or in person?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
In person from a local jeweler who was an authorized dealer. He was willing to negotiate and I got it at an awesome price.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
Good for you! That is one of the nicer looking Ball's I have seen in a while. Was it someone else on this forum who also got a nice looking one? Remember seeing someone with a cool one not too long ago.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
Nice Ball!
Moses, you were probably thinking of the Ball Mad Cow white dial that I posted on here. I sold it to partially fund the Rolex Sub purchase. |

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
What is the general consensus on Raymond Weil Maestro automatics? I like the white dial with blue hour minute and second hands. The metal bracelet is real nice too. Any opinions?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
Just ordered this, but I will put the brass bezel on it and a leather strap:
Thinking about the TI Bangla as well:

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
Cool! I like what Rado is doing. They've been on my short list for a while.
